The location and staff were great. Having so many restaurants within walking dostance was really nice. The beach is also right across the freeway. The pool was clean, nice temperature and the jets in the jacuzzi had great pressure and really felt good. The buffet breakfast-not so good. Food was cold, very little choice and very crowded. As a couple […] without kids, this was not good as most people staying there had kids and were going to Legoland- there was a free shuttle for them to all go there. Last-they need to put a stop sign in the parking lot. As you pull into registration, we were almost broadsided by a car cruising through the lot and there is a blind spot that almost caused a major collision Read more

If you are going to Legoland, this is one of the most convenient place to stay. The hotel is located across the Outlet Mall with lots of restaurants to choose from. You don't have to use your car to eat at TGIF, PF Changs's, Rubios, Panda Express and many more. The Flower Field entrance is just right across. The rooms are clean and the buffet breakfast […] is good. For the price I paid, I can't asked for anything more. I will definitely come back to this place next time we visit Legoland. Read more

This hotel is decently located with regard to not being too far from the beach and it's literally in the outlet mall parking lot. So there is shopping and restarants near by. However, I would not stay there again. My room door was facing the freeway, despite me requesting a "view". My entire trip was incredibly loud...from the freeway traffic right […] outside my door, to the paper thin walls with my neighbors late night chatter, to even my in room refidgerator was making weird crackling sounds all night long and kept waking me up. Unfortunately, it was not a restful experience at all. Read more

Great location and easy to find with the huge windmill! Room was very clean, not super fancy but very well done. Having the coffee maker, fridge, and microwave in the room was super convenient for snacks and packing lunch for the beach. Breakfast buffet was not great but enough to fill up for the morning: lots of fresh fruit, cereals and breads were […] good....eggs left something to be desired. Super fast check in and check out and staff was very helpful :) Read more

Our room was not cleaned regularly. WiFi strength was so low in our room to be virtually nonexistent. The breakfast room was very far away from our room. The service we got was poor. The location is good, but the service we got does not justify the price.

We requested a quiet room and were given a very nice room away from the freeway and TGIFridays. We arrived early and the clerk let us use the pool until our room was ready, which was great for my road-weary kids. We ate at TGIFriday one night and I would not recommend it. There are two other restaurants on site that would probably be better. There is […] a free shuttle to Legoland and the location is perfect (close to Legoland and the beach). Great hotel for the price, we would stay here again. Read more

Super close to everything, beautiful sights and plant maintenance, general upkeep of older-style property very good. Linens and towels had a very fresh feel and smell, not bleach. Super HOT, hot tub. Walk next door for GREAT sea food! Best continental breakfast we've had in a while with many choices and ample seating in a very large room with patio. […] Not directly on the beach but worth it for great location anyway by Lego land and flower fields. Kids loved it. Read more

Place is nice. Very close to Legoland. Shopping center and restaurants across the streets. There is a TGIF right next to it. Free breakfast is good, considering that it's free. My only issue is that the housekeeper does not even bother to knock before coming in. It happened twice in one day. First time freaked me out a bit because I was with my daughter. […] Someone was trying to get it but couldnt because the latch was on while we were sleeping. Second time was around 10 am. Same thing happened again. I peeked through the peephole and saw the houskeeper's cart moving away. Read more

Located right on the side of the Interstate. Old 60's motel with catchy title. Horible paint job. No elevator. Outside entrance to rooms that have balcony opening up on inside so you get to stare at each other. Small room felt very much like staying at a Motel 6.

I enjoyed my stay very much. I feel it deserves a 4 star rating. There is some maintenance work needed, but just trim painting type of things - nothing serious. Hot tub could have been a little hotter, but pool was perfect temp. Very convenient right near the highway, but not so close that noise was an issue at all. Giant outlet store mall nearby and […] lots of good restaurants. Read more
