We had a really nice stay. The room was clean and comfortable, with good lighting and a spacious bathroom. The beds were comfy too. We liked the amenities, and the breakfast/dining area was great … food was good and always being refilled, so no waiting. The location was super convenient, close to LEGOLAND. Would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel with close proximity to Legoland and the Beach. We brought our 2 small boys and got a queen room and had plenty of space. The pool is heated and it was a short drive to Legoland and the beach. Breakfast was decent for a hotel. They had 2 waffle machines, some kind of sausage and eggs every morning. They also had muffins, bagels, English muffins and cereal every morning. We would stay again
