Our room was spotless. It had a small fridge and microwave. The free breakfast was served until 9 or 9:30 AM depending on weekday/weekend, and included a waffle station, eggs and protein, toast/muffin/bagel, cereal, oatmeal with lots of fixings (raisins, granola, cranberry raisins, brown sugar, etc.). I highly recommend this hotel for your next stay, as it's spotless and centrally located to Legoland California Resort as well as other northern San Diego County attractions.

We booked this stay for how close it is for our trip to Legoland to celebrate three kids birthdays. The hotel was very clean and in a nice area. Staff was very friendly. We did though have to end our stay a day early due to our son and my niece both have a skin reaction to something on the bed sheets. We had to have them both checked out and we were told it may have been something used to clean the sheets with. We did inform the staff and the young lady was very nice and understanding but we couldn't stay another night due to have to take the kids skin reaction. Another thing at least for our room we could hear our neighbors talking all night long which was a bit unfortunate. Other than that everything about the hotel was very nice.

Hotel was immaculate, BUT, unfortunately another MAJOR brand has turned to “fees” to generate revenue, $10 to park your car is leaves a slimy taste, grocery stores tried charging for bags , airlines sells tickets, THEN charge a fee for a seat, next this hotel brand will charge for a room key. ITS THAT SILLY.
