I loved our stay here. Our room was clean. Bed was clean and comfortable. I love the duvet they used on the beds. The pull out couch bed worked great for my daughter, but it needed a fitted sheet. Luckily, I had one with me. Bathroom had a shower, but no bathtub. That was just fine for us! Shower was huge and clean. The cafe/restaurant has good coffee for mornings. We swam in the pool and the evening vibe was chill. The drive to Legoland is super easy from this hotel. I would stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel — the rooms and amenities were great, and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. A special thank you to Sydney and the team for going above and beyond when we accidentally left behind a personal item. They responded quickly and helped return it to us, which meant so much to our family. It’s rare to find such thoughtful service these days, and this really made our weekend even more memorable. Highly recommend this hotel, and we look forward to coming back again!

I was here for the weekend on a soccer tournament. The hotel is cute and small. The pool is a good size but hot tub. The rooms are a bit spacious. I’d say if you want an average hotel room but still on the nicer side this is it. They have a decent restaurant onsite where you can order breakfast, lunch and dinner.
