On the positive, the hotel was close to shopping and great places to eat and visit. On the negative side, there are many issues. The room was dark, even with all the lights on. When you open the slider door curtains, you do get enough light, but you lose your privacy. The bathroom doors and floor were water damaged with spots of mold The bathroom tub also did not drain when we arrived, but issue was quickly repaired by staff. But the big negative was when we woke up on our final morning we were greeted by a dead cockroach in the bathroom. Even though all the staff were excellent, because of the above room issues, we will not return to this place in the future.

Place was run down. Our family slept on Springs because the mattresses were so terrible.

The staff was absolutely great! I called to try and have an early check in and was informed rooms were not available but they would call me as soon as a room was available. I received a call an hour later and still 5 hours prior to schedule check in time.

The stag are lovely, the location wonderful, and pool area nicely kept. Our room was dated (a tad musty) but otherwise exceptionally clean.

Will be my last time ever here! Breakfast were horrible. Checkin staff is not friendly.

Nice and clean property. Enjoyed the continental breakfast to start the day.

Great place, excellent location, I just think some furniture needs to be updated cuz it's getting frayed and dingy. Been here before...and will again!

Close to shopping center and restaurants lady driver of van asked us to check or verify if other people were needing ride to Legoland ? Get out if can and check your self do your job !

Great location and so happy they allow dogs! We've stayed here on multiple occasions. It is unfortunate when you get someone staying in the room next to you because you can hear EVERYTHING! It was especially unfortunate for us since our neighbors woke up at 4am. But overall a fine hotel. Not exceptional, but fine.

We really enjoy the big size room, comfortable beds, and free shuttle to Legoland. The free breakfast buffet has good variety and declicious. The hotel ground is nice with grass areas, heated pool, and good location with lots of restaurants nearby. If you are going to Legoland, using the free hotel shuttle saves you the hussle of finding parking and parking fee. It drops us and picks us right from the entrance. This is a very good value hotel that I can recommend to everybody.

Air-conditioning wasn't working good. It was only air fan that was working

Nice hotel and very convenience for what we need with nice staff and clean rooms

Great place to stay if your going to Lego land! Great Staff and accommodations, will stay here again!

Close to Legoland; free shuttle service to and from Legoland; close to the beach; great continental breakfast

Nice Hotel close to shopping mall. The staff are nice and friendly. Cleanliness of the room is ok but the smell is very disappointing. I stayed for 3 nights the second night I complained about the smell burned smoke. they said that they're going to change the filter and suck the smell out but the same nothing changed. I feel like there was a fire on that room and they haven't cleaned the walls the smell of the smoke is still sticking on the walls. Room #122

We stayed there for 5 nights. Price per night we received was really good. Room were little smaller for 5 people. Outside structure of the hotel is very beautiful but rooms are okay. Pool and hot tub was really nice. My kids loved the time spent in pool. Pool water was not that warmed though considering heated pool. Location of the hiyel is really good. They have shopping area and everything is really close by. Legoland is very close to the hotel and van service which hotel provides is really awesome as well, which saves your money to park your car at the legoland. Breakfast wasn't very good and tempting, they have same stuff everyday and not that many good choices.
