The front desk staff is great! I get a room on the second floor and close to the laundry room so I can get my laundry done with no excuses. Lol. The rooms are nicely furnished, spacious, clean and the bathrooms are beautiful! Thanks for a great place at a great price!

Lego Land trip

Hotel was close to Lego land and close to different options for dining. Hotel room was clean and great for the price. However it seamed that there was a room which looked to have a patron living there… the curtain was stained yellow from cigarette smoke. Also while we were there, in one of the rooms a few doors down, people were getting arrested and the CSI team was called out to the scene. Not sure what happened, but it sure made for a scary situation.

Floors were sticky. Bathtub paint peeled off and no water pressure. No door seal, and top lock was broken off. The humidity leaks into the room.

It was very close to Legoland, which was a great plus. But the inside was not clean, the tub had peeling paint, rust spots on stainless steel things in the bathroom. Other than that, it was good.

Room service is so horrible. You can request service multiple times. We called everyday to get room service and only got one time. And then when they did finally come that one time they made us put the sheets on the bed. Like I came back from work and there was just new sheets sitting there folded up and the sheets were off my bed. No one was there during the day to hinder them from doing there job. I stayed for 2 weeks paid $1800 up front to get disrespected and no room service. Hope you guys do better for the people who stay there because it is really ridiculous that you can’t do a simple job

It’s a motel 6

Nothing great other than the location. Right next to Costco and Legoland. Tons of restaurants nearby. Surprisingly the pool was clean and a small family actually swam in it when we were there. It was inconvenient to borrow the hairdryer by swapping your ID at the front desk. We only borrowed one time not worth borrowing again. Walls were thin, loud running water from other side and people talking out front late in the evening. Would stay again because the location is just that good.
