The hotel had a charming and welcoming feel. Very kind staff ! Clean and well kept . Breakfast was delicious and served nightly chocolate chip cookies and milk . My only suggestion was that there was pool and it would have been nice if it was heated so we would have had that option. I’d definitely return if I was in the area.

This is a beautiful hotel! We were checked in quickly and even offered milk and cookies! The room was clean, cozy and equally as beautiful ad the hotel. Bathroom has everything you need (and great hot water and shower pressure) the little “kitchen”area is perfect with a great sized fridge, sink and microwave. Bed is super cozy and comfy with awesome pillows and blankets/comforter. TV is modern and offered a ton of variety to veg out to after a long day. I have no idea why I have been wasting money on other local legoland hotels these past 3 years. This place is a gem! The staff is really friendly and welcoming as well. Officially our forever Legoland vacation hotel!!!

The room smelt musty and dust. I had to wipe down the desk immediately. Not every quite as you could hear through the door. People above/below you can hear you open and close the doors as well as walking. Not idea for sure and over priced. Better lower priced options available. Hotel appear to look nice and staff is nice but needs a major renovation.

People were super friendly. Breakfast was great. Location is just a few blocks from the ocean. The rooms are a little dated - the furniture is dinged up and the TVs are dated. Beyond that I really enjoyed it.

Pleasantly surprised by the property when i drove up. Very clean and maintained. Walked in and the staff was very pleasant and friendly. As checking in she informed me of places to eat and beach was within walking distance. The breakfast that was offered had a nice variety to choose from. The room was always clean and felt very safe
