The details that were thought of for the kids was really well done in the hotel room and throughout the hotel. Better than any Disney hotel I’ve stayed at (in my opinion). The bed in our room was a top 5 most comfortable hotel bed, and that’s saying a lot. Every single staff member interaction was welcoming and knowledgeable. Would absolutely stay again!

We have stayed here 3 times and this last time the food at every location was extremely disappointing. Breakfast buffet that is included was constantly running out of fresh food and we were there at 8:30 am, not at closing time. The orange juice tasted like water with a slight orange color. Coffee was empty twice. Went to dinner at the castle(6:30pm) and everything was out, we had the last piece of salmon. Got the salmon and looked like it sat out for hours. So rubbery and dry. It was both my sons birthday celebrations and asked if they could do something for them. The waitress said you can order a dessert from the menu. I asked if they provided anything and she hesitated before saying "well we provide a cookie but we might be out'" they came out with one cookie for both, but before we noticed, they took my 5 yr old sons food (1/4 had been eaten) without asking. He was quite upset and waitress just brushed it off like well I didn't take it, someone else did. Lacked the hospitality we were used to and the food was microwave/heat lamp style. We probably won't be making it again unfortunately.

Was very surprised at how immaculate the Castle resort was. I don’t know why I didn’t take my child here sooner. Was always a big fan of Disney parks, but Legoland Resort is also a must-do for families with children. Was impressed with the cleanliness, housekeeping service, and in-room dining service. Last but not least was their included hot breakfast buffet for guests which had a wide selection of breakfast items. I definitely will be returning.

Love the proximity to the park and the early entry perk. They don’t always open all the attractions listed though which is disappointing. The hotel is fun with lots of activities. We have had breakfast and dinner buffets and both have decent choices.

Room is fun and my kids enjoyed it. However, several items throughout the room seemed worn or broken. A piece of the window sill was broken off and loose and some of the bathroom trim were falling apart. Our room faced the aquarium, and for some reason inconsiderate workers were using the dumpster nearby at 2am. Nothing like the loud banging of tossing heavy items in the dumpster to keep you up at night. For the cost, the experience is not worth it.
