My brief stay at this hotel was fine. Nothing fabulous but the price was reasonable. My one objection is there was still quite a bit of noise from a couple nearby rooms between 10pm and midnight.

Bumpy, but still great!
Check in was seamless and quick. Very friendly staff. The grounds are cute, the pool is beautiful, and there is a fun area for cornhole and other games. The restaurant food was above expectations. Unfortunately, our room neighbors threw a party in the middle of the night and things got pretty rowdy. It was awful. I called down to the front desk, and requested a room change. It was really inconvenient because I had to move my 10 year old daughter at 1:30am. We slept horribly because of the party and then our adrenaline was high. I was really impressed by the hotel's willingness to help us. It could have been a much worse experience given the horrible neighbors.

As every parent knows, traveling with young children isn’t easy. Finding a reliable place to stay with child-friendly amenities is among the most significant obstacles. This hotel did everything it could to provide a safe environment and keep the kids occupied. In addition, they offered excellent breakfast free of charge. We spent one day in Lego land, on a nearby beach, and at Safari Park. My 6-year-old and I had a blast for 3 days and the best Thanksgiving holiday!! Many modern healthy eating places are 3 minutes away.

Front Desk made a point to know me and ask how things were going every day. Dining is fast and convenient. It's limited to the usual items, but service is top notch. Very safe area. Fair price for room. Will stay again.

The address was very difficult to find on Google Maps and my car’s SatNav system Great price, great location for a visit to LegoLand. Amenities seemed geared to families. Our first floor room was nothing special. Two undersized Queen beds, tile floor, vaulted ceiling, nice TV setup, a couple of chairs and a mini-fridge. Three bath towels left for 4 person reservation. Toilet stopped up during our stay. Air conditioning cycled from too cold to too hot all night. For a newer property unit seemed like there was a lot of broken concrete outside. Lobby interior was nice and the outside play areas/pool were great for kids.

Nothing exceptional
Strike 1: No EV charging available. Strike 2: $18.00 for a bland breakfast buffet. Strike 3: Fire alarm at 4:30 am! Wife and I stood in cold parking lot for 20 minutes with no direction, explanation or apology.
