Family friendly.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Was able to borrow sand toys to take the Beach and they had complimentary swim diapers available. My daughter loved the activities that are planned daily. The size of the room with the full kitchen made our stay comfortable. We will be back.

Had a great gentleman check us in. The woman who worked the register on the right side should probably not be your customer service person. Checked all the boxes but condescending and rude with a smile. Bothered I was asking questions and hoping to pass me off anywhere where possible. Loved the room, amenities and all else. She took up head space on a family trip for a bit and that was annoying.

Fire alarm wouldn’t stop going off at property after they had a fire in the activity room the day we checked in. One of the two elevators was shut down and they put us in the furthest room possible from the work elevator. Mind you this all happened while we were waiting for 2+ hours after check in time for our room to be ready with zero perks or comps for the troubles. The only reason I’d ever stay here again is for it’s proximity to Legoland.
