A bunch of minor inconveniences, like the refrigerator not working, no hot water, the bed was hard and you can feel the springs, water leak from under the fridge, the dresser drawers wouldn’t stay shut, black mold on shower window. The high price for the room is probably only based on location because the quality is very poor, very similar to staying at your run-of-the-mill standard Motel 6.

The hotel was nice. It was generally clean. I didn’t like how there was a huge gap beneath the shared door for the double room option. Felt like an invasion of privacy and noise. The main door also has gaps so the cold gets in easily and the noise outside is so loud. The price was great!

This hotel is more like a motel than hotel anyone can walk to your door since cars can go and park right next to your door, the room was just renovated but the strong smell of chemicals, could be paint or some type of construction smell, not sure what it was but couldn’t get it out of my nose, the hotel is old and not very from the outside, rooms are descent but not great, floor wasn’t very clean and we couldn’t walk without shoes because we could feel dust on the floor. If you are looking for some comfort definitely this is not the place to go.

We had an amazing experience at this cozy, family-friendly hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the friendly, welcoming staff and the smooth transportation to and from Legoland—such a convenient perk for families! The hotel’s location is perfect, with everything you need just around the corner. A big highlight was the Windmill Food Hall—what a fantastic spot! The energy and atmosphere were so lively, and the variety of food options made it easy for everyone to find something they loved. Best part? It’s just a short walk from the hotel, so we could pop over whenever we wanted. Our room was comfortable, clean, and perfect for a family stay. The only minor thing was the AC, which was a little noisy, but the room stayed cool enough that it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, this hotel is a great choice for families visiting Legoland or just looking for a convenient, comfortable stay. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
