We were met with a warm welcome from Naz at the Front Desk. We were also able to get an early check-in. Rooms were clean. Our tub got clogged but maintenance was swift and fixed our issue immediately. We went to Lego land which was only 3 mins away. The Karl Strauss Restaurant was within walking distance and food was great. Definitely recommend and will be back.

This property was in a great location. It was within walking distance to Legoland, and it was very spacious. The beach was a short drive away. The only issue we had was the elevator broke, and I had to make 3 trips to the car with my luggage down the stairs.

Pool was nice, property was quiet, walking distance to Lego land, friendly staffs. Possible rodent in room (food left out on kitchen counter was found bit into when return to room), obvious stains on chairs and sofa (needed to cover with towels before sitting). Water pressure can be a bit stronger (didn’t feel completely clean even after showers). BIGGEST COMPLAINT OF PROPERTY: I FOUND IT VERY RUDE TO RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE AFTER CHECKING OUT TO BE TOLD TO DO THINGS SUCH AS BEGGING TRASH AND OTHER CHORES ON THE NEXT VISIT!! A COMPLETE TURN OFF AND WILL REALLY RECONSIDER STAYING THERE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE 😡😡😡😡

Unfortunately there was not room service, They charged me a resort fee of $38.00 when i checked in. I then asked about a spa or massage area and was informed they dont have one. I asked about the resort fee and the front desk person said" we have heated pools. So staying there was over 300.00 for I night. Not happy..
