The construction is a mess. Having families walking through a construction zone isn’t safe..... screws on the floor, dust, unfinished tile, sparks from welding.... there was only one path from the parking garage to our room, the part of the hotel near the construction should not be open. In the shower there was an A/C overflow pipe that drained into it, I have never seen this in a hotel before. The family pool was nice, but I question the cleanliness. They had everyone get out of the pool for 5 minutes while they cleaned a mysterious pile of what looked like poop up, but they only swept it up off the splash pad, no further scrubbing, cleaning or explanation. Im sure the property will be nice after the construction, but I will take my money else where next time we stay in the area.

Very nice property. Construction going on but they handled it well. Granddaughters only complaint was no snack machines after a long day of swimming and activities. She loved everything else including the rabbits in the yard and towel rabbit in our room.

The lobby is under construction and other areas of the resort, otherwise all are ok. Buffet breakfast was great.

This hotel needs renovation badly. Especially just basic things like the carpet. It is old and disgusting. Not clean to feel comfortable barefoot in your room. Otherwise great location next to Legoland and heated pools and spa, great for kids.

Went for a weekend getaway with the kids. They have a splash pad and playground which my kids enjoyed. The family pool is four feet deep which is also a plus. Just wish they would repair the peeling metal/paint on the splash pad fixtures. The slide could use some more grip tape so kids do not slip so easily. The hotel is a 10 minute walk across the street to legoland which was great. There is an adult pool if you travel without kids. Karl Strauss is in the same parking lot as hotel we ordered for pick up and ate in our room. There is a Starbucks a short distance away, the Flower Fields are right there as well along with the Carlsbad Premium Outlets for shopping. Cons on staying here is the condo rooms check in are 5pm and check out is at 10 am. And we had to trouble getting back into our room with two sleeping kids due to the keys being faulty at 9pm which was not fun.
