A place to rest

Floors was very dirty, beds hard and flat in spots and quite uncomfortable. Dead spiders on the bathroom floor. The check in person wasn’t very hospitable and forgot to give us the parking tag. The housekeeping chased me down to see if we needed towels and I’ll say that was the nicest person I’ve dealt with. Other than that it’s just a place to rest your head. No phone, blow dryer, the outlets in the night stand didn’t work.

Incredibly noisy AC. Noisy Noisy refrigerator. Constant freeway noise. Garbage truck with backup beeps every AM at 6.55am. Useless TV with crappy crappy picture, mostly spanish channels. No coffee/also no coffemaker. No clock radio. One (1) chair in the room. Nice pool area -- but always locked up, room key doesn't open it. One ice machine, a long long walk from our room in back. Very tight parking. Stayed 5 nights -- room never checked or cleaned. OK mattress, OK wifi. Staff very cheerful and polite, if you can find them.

Everything was fine, checking in, the room was clean, the attendant however after hours on august 31st accused me of scamming because my card would not open the door, he never would check why but after the 3rd time he called the police and told me to do the same, to find out the magnet in my wallet was turning the card off, instead he was cussing and accusing me of "scamming some how" he walked away the last time i needed help as well, terrible service, i will never be going back to that motel again.

you get what you pay for

Good enough. The location is amazing for Legoland. The bed and pillows are really hard. There are zero toiletries furnished, just hand soap. Towels are super small and there is no coffee maker in the room. But I would stay here again just for the location and price. Room was not that clean
