I had a somewhat mixed experience during my stay. The customer service was wonderful, with staff like Marcus and Tuong going out of their way to make us feel welcome. However, I found the room to be quite dated for the price we paid, and the dining options left a lot to be desired. The pool facilities were great for the kids, but I expected more overall considering the costs.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location is perfect for families thanks to the private access to LEGOLAND, I was taken aback by the high daily resort fees and parking charges, which felt excessive given the amenities offered. The pool facilities were a letdown, as the water was freezing and the slide was only open on weekends. Despite the friendly staff and great dining options, the overall value for the price paid seemed lacking.

Rooms

The rooms were clean and spacious, and I appreciated the balcony overlooking the Pacific. However, they felt more like a basic roadside hotel rather than a luxurious spa retreat.

We had a great family trip overall, especially enjoying the pool facilities and the access to Legoland. The staff at check-in was nice and welcoming, and the atmosphere was perfect for kids to have fun. However, the experience was somewhat overshadowed by issues with room availability at check-in and inefficiencies in dining service. The hefty parking fee also felt a bit excessive for the location.

The hotel is located moments away from Legoland, which is a fantastic perk for families. The pool area is impressive, featuring a waterslide that my kids loved, and the food we had was satisfactory. However, we faced significant issues with our room arrangement and service, which detracted from our stay. Overall, the hotel has potential but needs to improve its staffing and room configurations to make it a more enjoyable experience.
