We had to listen to two small barking dogs for our entire night. Those same neighbors were smoking and you could smell it in our room. I was to tired to deal with moving rooms so we just tolerated it. The was pretty dirty and would definitely use flops if you take a shower. I would not stay here again. On an upside the staff is very nice.

The elevator was not in a convenient location so I had to climb two sets of stairs to my room. There was no internet connection and the phone wouldn’t stay connected for me to talk to the front desk. This stay was not definitely with the $85, should have been $40. Since I could not connect to the internet, I could not finish my project for work so that was an inconvenience.

Check-in was easy and simple. The main reason we chose this property was first; the price $100 a night, second; the location, distance to Legoland, so of course we didn’t expect valet or room service. The beds were amazingly firm and the shower was hot-hot which was much needed after our long days walking through Legoland. My 3-stars is based on the fact that we requested a first floor room since my husband is in a medical boot (they put us on the third floor) and we did not figure out which was the third floor elevator button until check-out. Also, we only had 2 towels in our room which were more like face towels and when I went to request more they did not have any available. ALL the staff was super friendly and there was other families at the hotel though I am assuming there are also some rooms that are being used as full-time residences since there was home decor in some of the windows.
Third floor button is the “Access Off” with the 2 arrows.

The staff was great, the overall stay was not good, they had unsecured internet that never worked, the blankets on the bed had a bunch of cigarette burns holes all over them, why would they re-use them like that? The surrounding activity was also not good, this is the worst experience stay I've had.

Actually an underrated spot and such a great place both in and out. The room was clean and furniture was incredibly up to date, the bathroom was nice and I was about 15 minutes away from the beach and everything else great. There’s also a ton of things to do nearby, I’m glad this place is sort of a hidden gem and amazing for the price too. I normally don’t leave reviews out but this place was awesome. I intend on coming back.
