This is now our go- to Legoland hotel. The suites are spacious, with comfy beds, great ac and nice showers. Our room stepped out into a pool area with a little patio where we could sit with our coffee. The hotel offers a Legoland shuttle. Right next to the hotel is a very nice food hall with a speakeasy vibe. Foods available include pasta, thai, burgers, tacos, pizza, lobster rolls, ice cream, dim sum, sushi, donuts, salads… there’s something for everyone, including coffee and breakfast.

The spider with his huge web at the door was friendly. lol Sofa bed wasn’t ready for use. Had to request blankets and pillows. I do appreciate the prompt response to address so there’s that. No closet space or luggage holder. Shower was stained and no soap dish/holder options. No lighting around bathroom mirror.

We stayed only for a night but wish we would have had more time to stay. It was clean, quiet and family friendly. A lot of people with young kids like us, the pool was fun, warm and clean. The room was clean and spacious, and the staff was friendly. Will definitely be staying here again!

A nice place to stay.

The staff was amazing! The rooms were ok. The pool was nice. I am sure for the price, we paid for location. It could use an upgrade for the price.
