Nice and quiet hotel with clean rooms. Proximity to LEGOLAND and beach was a plus. It took about 10 minutes or less to get there! I did not try their food but it must be good because their dining area was full of guests. I would stay here again if in the area.

Bistro opens for a few hours in morning and evening. No free happy hour, coffee, or meals. I did enjoy the convenience of purchasing Starbucks coffee in the morning. I bought the Breakfast Burrito on the first morning which was still partially cold in the center and with no microwave oven in the rooms, one must use the one near check-in area. On the last day there I did order chicken wings and Mediterranean bowl for dinner, which was excellent. Additionally, I paid for parking ahead of time $6 per day but learned parking is not monitored when I arrived (no dash passes were given) so that is something I will bring up with Expedia. Housekeeping was available every other day but the hallway carpets and outdoors (front area) could use some attention. I typically stay here each year on business. This time the condition of the hotel just seemed to have lost some of its original luster. Maybe its under new management and going through a transition.
