Nice and quiet hotel with clean rooms. Proximity to LEGOLAND and beach was a plus. It took about 10 minutes or less to get there! I did not try their food but it must be good because their dining area was full of guests. I would stay here again if in the area.

New hotel with basic modern amenities. Friendly staff, lots of adorable parking. However, just like many new hotels, the walls of this hotel are thin and you can hear everything from babies crying to housekeeping cleaning early morning. The bed was not as comfortable as other Marriott’s that I have stayed but over all, other than that, it’s a good hotel.
