Great except for WiFi

This is a hotel in my home area that I've stayed at before. It's one of only two "modern" hotels in a town with several older, remodeled motels. This property is great, except for the WiFi. In the morning before 11 am checkout, I couldn't get a working signal on any device anywhere to save my life. I left by 8:30 am to go to a local coffee shop to get work done.

Great stay for family

We had a fantastic time staying at this hotel. Check-in and checkout were a breeze. It’s conveniently located near Legoland. The room was exactly as described and pictured. They offer a delightful breakfast spread. The bed was comfortable, but it was a bit too high, especially for families with young children. I had to barricade the bed to prevent my two-year-old from falling. Unfortunately, room 203 had mold on the wall near the floor lamp, which wasn’t noticeable unless you moved the chair. We tried texting the provided number to request a toothbrush, but we didn’t receive a reply. Additionally, the phone in the room didn’t work; it wasn’t connected to the front desk or room service. Despite these minor issues, we will definitely be returning to this hotel.

I was very pleasantly surprised. Everything is really nice. Great area with lots of convenient shopping and dining options. Staff was great! Breakfast is probably nicest and most varied than I've ever had for a "free breakfast" in a hotel. Room is great, lots of space.

Room was humid and smelled like dirty feet when we arrived. And one of the most subpar free hotel breakfast as we’ve ever had. Chose this over the Hampton because it seemed nicer in pictures but pretty sure I made the wrong decision.
