This is the second time we’ve stay in this resort. It’s so close to the beach and Legoland. The resort is clean and well kept. The only complaint is the pipe smell from the shower and sink can be annoying. Other than that this is our go to for a Legoland stay and a morning run on coast.

The hotel is descent for the price! It’s very convenient for families who are visiting Legoland. It’s about a 5-7 min drive. Pros: Free parking, complimentary breakfast, clean rooms and great staff (we forgot a cell phone in the room and the front desk called us immediately to notify us). Cons: The beds are pretty firm. I’ve stayed at various hotels and these were not comfortable. You will need to drive if you want to pick up food or dine out. The only thing located within walking distance is a gas station.

Everything was perfect for a quick getaway! Staff was very nice and welcoming, property was clean and room chilled to perfection. The hotel had late night cookies and milk, board games to play, freshly made, hot full buffet breakfast. There was a library area and cozy couch for relaxing. Plenty of table settings for Breakfast dining and was kept clean and organized. The price was perfect for my budget. Place was decorated to Easter/Spring and overall atmosphere was so welcoming and beautiful. Would definitely stay there again!

yes, the room was spotless, very comfortable, the hotel breakfast was great and evening cookies and added treat. but what I like most is its access to the beach, only 1 block walk and there she is, beautiful beach, just walk until you heart drop. I did not have an ocean view, but the short walk to the beach made up for it. and there are no nearby restaurants.

Bed was SO comfortable! My wife said “it’s the best sleep she’s had in years.” The included breakfast was very nice and milk and cookies at night was a very nice touch. Everyone at the property was very friendly. My only complaint would be that the pool was ICE cold, it would be a very nice touch if it was heated.

The breakfast was great, lots of variety and fresh options. The kitchen staff was excellent, keeping items stocked and the area clean. The pool area is small not like the picture in the advertisement. The pool was cold and the hot tub was down for part of our visit without any explanation. Cookies and milk offered in the evening was nice but the front desk staff were pretty strict, watching children as they were instructed to only take one! There is a train track nearby. Our room was pretty shielded from the horn noise but others are not. There was lots of yellow tape around the hotel, indicating construction. This hotel is not within walking distance of anything except a gas station.
