The property and staff were amazing!! Everything was great minus the noise from the neighbors next to us on both sides and above us at all hours of the night. Would still stay again though. Very convenient and close to grocery stores and restaurants.

It was really an okay hotel, nothing fancy. But great value for the price. We booked a suite with 1 king bed and a bunk bed. It had 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms. Very impressed with the space. Room was facing the highway, so was really noisy. But we were tired from the long day at the Legoland park, so ...

"We stayed over Easter weekend. The room above us was constantly making noise and kids were running around, moving furniture and jumping off the bed for long periods of time. Called the front desk to ask if they could send someone to speak to them and were told they could send someone as a courtesy but couldn’t do anything unless it was between 10pm-7am as those were the quiet hours. If they sent someone to talk to them it didn’t solve anything. Waited until 10pm on both nights to have them finally send security to the room and it did not work. Noise finally stopped around 11:30 each night. I asked to be moved and were told no rooms were available. However, Hotels.com had rooms available to book each night so not sure how they were sold out. Will not be staying at this location again. "
