Convenient stay for Legoland.
Convenient hotel for Legoland. Free parking. Restaurants and shopping outlets nearby. We walked to Legoland which took about 20 minutes cutting through the parking lot. Beds were comfortable but our shower/tub was in bad condition. The paint was peeling off the tub. You need to leave an ID with the front desk when you ask for a hair dryer. Good value for the price.

Terrible
No iron, no ironing board, no blow dryer, no coffee maker, bed sheets were stained. Bathroom and room floors were gross. Baseboards had all kinds of dirt around them. BEDS WERE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE and slid all over the bottom frame. Lights didn’t work on the lamp or the top headboard.
Other guest were smoking weed in there rooms and when we had the vent on, it would come in our bathroom and room.

Beware this property and front desk clerk.
I had a 14 day pre-paid reservation to start after this stay. They had already canceled my reservation and said nothing about it before going to the office to extend my key on first day of reservation. Continued poor attitudes didn't allow me the opportunity to make another reservation or recoup money already paid.

What a wait…..
Waited over 30mins for the clerk to come to check us in at 7. About 4 other families needed to check in at that time as well so we sat in the lobby patiently waiting so we could check in. I had to keep my spouse and our 2 month old child in the car until they returned. I just feel someone should be at the office at least until 9 or 10pm so families aren’t forced to wait. And upon return they don’t even offer empathy to the families waiting as you could easily tell we were bothered by the wait. Other than that, the check in process was speedy and easy, rooms were clean and comfortable
