great location, clean room, great rate, everything about the place was exactly what we needed and nothing more in the best possible way.

Pretty good location and a good value for the money. I wasn’t thrilled about being assigned to a room with handicap showers without being asked.

The room was ok, it was a family gateway and when we were about to go to sleep the next door neighbors started doing their dirty laundry and my kids could hear it. We needed to turn on the TV again because we had kids and for sure we didn’t want to hear them do their dirty laundry.My kids finally fell asleep but they didn’t let us sleep.

New renovated room, A. Property and area around, A. The hair in my sink, shower and on the wall? Buuummmerrr... and not hard to miss. I can understand missing the Pube on the wall. But in the renovated white shower, and two in the white sink? Tough to justify. Check in crew, A. Morning crew that didn't have coffee in the lobby at 7.30a? Aloof and unprepared. I know they weren't the ones drinkin' the coffee! Still half asleep? But... over all, for the value? not terrible and would stay again. I'll bring my own clorox wipes next time.

We had to move to another room as the initial room was under construction. The 2nd room was under another room where the plumbing was bad. It sounded like a helicopter landed on the property each time the guests above us would use their restroom. Overall, the front desk did what they could considering the night shift only has 1 employee working. The hotel is dated and not near the water. There is no view of the ocean and not in walking distance of Legoland.

Room was clean and recently renovated. They should put more towel hooks in the bathroom area, there was only two small hooks. Overall a great hotel right across the outlet mall and next to some great restaurants.

Need a car or get used to taxis; aside from gas stations and fast food it’s not really near anything except legoland, for which there is a shuttle. Walking to the beach is about 20 mins, part of which is across a bridge with no sidewalk. Exciting.
Had pretty bad sleep here; old plumbing making banging and howling noises when the neighbouring rooms showered (at 6am). Room was otherwise comfortable, bed good, but decor felt slightly worn.
Random $40 charge for “amenities” on checkin; whatever.

I have stayed here many times. I love the pool view and sitting on the patio. The room is clean and the bed is comfortable. The pol is nice and the grounds are well kept.

I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels all over the planet and this place was the worst of them all. They are actively remodeling, the plumbing fixtures can’t decide if you’re getting cold or steaming hot water, the floor was dirty, and the ice machines were inoperable. I won’t even speculate as to what they were trying to fix by stuffing a partial roll of toilet paper behind the hot water line under the sink.

You cannot beat the location. The food court on property is amazing! You can easily walk to Legoland. My only challenge was the very loud air conditioner that woke me up consistently thru the night. It would also be nice if the shuttle ran more often and ended after Sea-Life closed.

Just wondering if linens are completely changed BEFORE EVERY ADMISSION... feeling itchy first night, ( and only night... stayed overnight only, thank goodness)
Staff at the desk were all very nice; I liked the location too.

The room had a lot of spiders in it, which means a lot of bugs. The spiders and I came to an understanding.
The bed was decent, but the couch was uncomfortable and the general furnishings were lacking. The tv was way too far from the bed, if on the couch there were no side or coffee table to set a drink. Lack of efficient lighting. Bathroom was in need of updating and the towels and soap/shampoos were not very good.
THERE IS NO ELEVATOR to take your stuff up to the second floor.
and last is the invasion of privacy. I left bc I felt unsafe staying. They tell you they will not do housekeeping unless requested, so no entering the room unless I ask for it. I did NOT ask and they came while I was gone. Then even worse was that they came while I was in the shower (which is next to the door) and I said 'dont come in', not only did they try to open the door, they then shut it and tried it a second time! as I was then screaming at them to not enter. I luckily had the safety latch on. I immediately called the front desk and reported it. Then the next day it happened again!
I really had high hopes for this place, but I did not enjoy it at all and will not be returning and will never recommend this place.

Local Gem, great amenities and location. Friendly and welcoming staff. 24/6 front desk and snacks available for purchase. Super family friendly and still peaceful and cozy. We look forward to coming back!

Me and my girlfriend came for a wedding and stayed a couple extra nights. Beautiful area, awesome hotel and everything we could want was either there at the hotel or right next door. It was the perfect place for a 3 day weekend.

From the outside it looks like a very nice resort. The rooms were run down and not very clean. Anytime the person next to us turned on the water the bathroom walls would shake and it sounded like a jack hammer was going to come through our wall. Happened all night and very early in the morning. Also anytime someone next to you opens or closes their door it sounds like someone is body slamming into your door. The pool was very nice, the rooms are just run down and not quiet at all.

Our second time here. There was a problem with loud music turned on by the pool
In the middle of the night caused by a computer issue. When I raised it with the front desk they allowed us a very late check out and compensation. We will definitely be back.
