The hotel was nice with a great breakfast and pool area. Parents- watch your kids by the pool and make sure they walk. It gets REALLY slippery when wet!

This was a great location. Close to Legoland. I do suggest renting a car like we did. Pool was nice, with a hot tub. Needs are a bit hard, but slept well anyways. Disappointed they didn't have beach towels that were listed on the website, but was offered bath towels instead which worked fine. The breakfast had lots of choices with hot food and cold foods. Would recommend to anyone.
