The hotel was nice. It was generally clean. I didn’t like how there was a huge gap beneath the shared door for the double room option. Felt like an invasion of privacy and noise. The main door also has gaps so the cold gets in easily and the noise outside is so loud. The price was great!

This hotel is more like a motel than hotel anyone can walk to your door since cars can go and park right next to your door, the room was just renovated but the strong smell of chemicals, could be paint or some type of construction smell, not sure what it was but couldn’t get it out of my nose, the hotel is old and not very from the outside, rooms are descent but not great, floor wasn’t very clean and we couldn’t walk without shoes because we could feel dust on the floor. If you are looking for some comfort definitely this is not the place to go.

We had an amazing experience at this cozy, family-friendly hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the friendly, welcoming staff and the smooth transportation to and from Legoland—such a convenient perk for families! The hotel’s location is perfect, with everything you need just around the corner. A big highlight was the Windmill Food Hall—what a fantastic spot! The energy and atmosphere were so lively, and the variety of food options made it easy for everyone to find something they loved. Best part? It’s just a short walk from the hotel, so we could pop over whenever we wanted. Our room was comfortable, clean, and perfect for a family stay. The only minor thing was the AC, which was a little noisy, but the room stayed cool enough that it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, this hotel is a great choice for families visiting Legoland or just looking for a convenient, comfortable stay. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

The fitness center wasn’t a fitness center it was a cardio room with 3 machines and the treadmill was broken. Our room door wouldn’t fully close you had to use force and the dead bolt wouldn’t lock because the door wouldn’t fully shut. It looks as if someone tried to pry the door open. We made it work for the night but we won’t be staying here again.

I really was looking forward to staying at this hotel since it was so close to the outlets and some of my favorite local spots. While the hotel has gone through some upgrades the mattresses and sliding doors have not. I was so uncomfortable on the bed that I pulled the bedding up to adjust the mattress and to my surprise a yellowed dingy 20 year old mattress was under there. It makes no sense to upgrade flooring and shelving without also updating the most important part of someone’s stay. It was very disappointing and thankfully a friend came to check out the room before trying to book her family there. Not booking here again; such a waste because this location has great potential.

I likes that there is a lot of shops and such in walking distance. I liked that we had an outdoor seating area as most hotels you cant even open a window. I didn't like that when i booked it it showed a tub and said it in the description but there was just a shower. I also noticed some of the bedding wasnt the cleanest and there was an open plastic wear pack from the previous people. Didnt give me the cleanest vibes.
