The staff was very welcoming and the room was clean and well kept. If you stay on the west side of the building it can be a little noisy due to the freeway next to the building. However, later at night the freeway traffic lightens up and there is less noise.

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.

Disliked: Amenities
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.

A decent overnight stay

It was a good and decent stay. One night stay. There was some traffic noise from the freeway overnight and some noise from housekeeper cart rolling through the outside hallway. Bed was comfortable and clean.

Trust me when I say, if you're thinking "wow! This looks great for a motel 6!" It isn't. Look, it was one night, so we survived. However, the lights were dim, the vanity light fixture was even broken. The shower floor and toilet had black stains, marks, and build up. The toilet had a little mold even. The floors weren't fully cleaned and there were pieces of dog food here and there. Underneath our stained sheets there was dog hair stuck to the mattress. We checked because the overall presentation had us worried about bed bugs. None of those thankfully. Here's what we thought, well it's just one night, we just need a clean bed. We ended up buying our own blankets from Walmart to lay on top of a "fresh" set of sheets so that it felt clean. Also, while it is a smoke free area, no one respects that rule. The room smelled like cigarettes. Very noisy by the freeway as well so we had to use white noise and blast the AC. Trust me fellow traveler, pay the extra for the nicer place or go with that air bnb. You will sleep so much better.

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.
