I would give this hotel pretty decent reviews. It’s great for children. It has a family pool, splash pad, playground, small arcade and daily kids activities. I would not have particularly stayed here, had we not been traveling with our young child. The hotel upgraded our room from a two to three bedroom, in a better location. The downside was, the furniture was outdated and definitely needed a deep cleaning. There was a small couch and one arm chair in the living room. Not adequate seating for more than 3 people comfortably. The couch and dining room chairs were heavily stained. The king bed was definitely heavily used. It was pretty lumpy. It is definitely in need of an upgrade. The only other downside was the housekeeping situation. It was only offered on Thursday and Tuesday. Those were our check in and out days. After five days, it would have been nice to have some housekeeping. The hotel was great about sending up toiletries, if needed, but rooms were definitely not stocked for more than a couple days. There should have been extra trash bags, toilet paper, towels etc. It would have been nice to have a small vacuum in room. Other than that, it was a nice property with helpful staff.

Our suite was spacious, but in poor condition. This hotel looks lovely from the photos, but in person it was just okay. We possibly had one of the worst rooms available, right next to the noisy lobby, and the kitchen hadn't been updated like the other rooms. We had to call to get a drawer repaired that wouldn't open, and one of the bathroom doors wouldn't open properly. There was a small arcade for the kids, but the machines were quite dated. Our view from our room was looking right out at the adults' pool, which was noisy at night and not private at all, so we had to keep our blinds closed the whole time. On the plus side, it was an easy walk to Legoland and the BBQs came in handy for grilling a quick dinner. We didn't try the pool because it was a bit too cold during our stay. Not the worst hotel, but for the price we paid, I'd definitely stay somewhere else next time.

Definitely family friendly, clean and plenty of pillows. My only complaint is my room wasn’t ready at check-in. Check in is 5pm and room wasn’t ready until almost 5:30pm. Plenty of things to do for the kids, walking distance to LEGOLAND.

I have a three year-old and an 11 year old and they both enjoyed the stay. The arcade, activity room, ping pong table, the pool, and the little kids park, perfect! Definitely coming back.
