The property was not full, yet they put us right next to noisy construction. If it had been more than one night, I would have said something. Big spacious rooms for families with kitchen but could have been cleaned a little better especially bathrooms and corners.

Amazing. This resort was kid friendly, clean and the condos in the villas were spacious. Parking was plentiful and walking distance to legoland as advertised. The resort had an activity center with various arts and crafts throughout the day and a spacious toddler area with small tables and building blocks. The arcade has enough variety to provide additional entertainment. When we were there, it rained so we were not anble to enjoy the pool, splash pad or the play structure but we will definitely go back for those. There is a hotel side and villa side that share the same lobby. The lobby has a coffee bar where they also serve breakfast food menu. They were short staffed the day we ate there and it did take awhile for our food.

Nice place to stay

Not worth it for one night stay. Check in is so late and check out is so early you really can’t enjoy the place.

Great location within walking distance to Legoland. Also close to dining options and shopping outlets. There are plenty of activities for families with children and a separate pool for adults only. Our suite was fully stocked with the essentials and very clean. The bed was super comfortable which made for a peaceful night’s rest after a long day! We enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic rooms and public areas. Dinner at Karl Strauss was delicious too. Very helpful and upbeat staff

Great property, very clean, lots to do with the kids.

Great family vacation spot.

Perfect with kids. Room spacious

Overall decent property for the price. Pool was a little cold though

For families the pool and splash pad were great for our four and six year old after a full day at legoland. They didn’t want to leave.

Rooms where clean. Sliding door lock didn’t work. Light in one of the bathroom would go on and off by itself. Even in the middle of the night and it was so creepy to sleep. Even i could hear downstairs room also bathroom fan go on and off at night like every 20 min or so.

GOOD, bad, & UGLY: first the good is excellent location, it is walkable distance from legoland, and helpful staff; bad is the pool shown in pictures is adult only (no kids allowed) and kid pool has no view and is small; UGLY is the condition. The hotel is being renovated, no lobby or working elevators. Had to carry luggage up stairs. Workers also started at 7:30 in morning. I will avoid until renovation is completed!!!
