Bathtub not cleaned properly. There was still a hair left on the bathtub rim. I didn’t like timeshare trying to give me a “welcome package” after my check in. Have to pay $1 to shoot pool. Didn’t have cash on hand and the employees in the activity room said i would have to go to the ATM machine in the lobby. It was a pretty sad activity room. Resort fees should be waived in that case. Splash pad is a little run down. Some things weren’t working. Needs a face lift. Would I come back? Nope. Not enough “free” amenities for me to bring back my kids.

Great Stay for the Whole Family!
We had a wonderful stay here! The room was exceptionally clean, spacious, and well-maintained throughout our visit.

The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—everyone from the front desk to the service team was incredibly friendly and helpful.

We also really enjoyed the onsite bar, which had a great atmosphere and a fantastic drink selection. On top of that, the hotel is very family-friendly, making it a stress-free and comfortable experience for anyone traveling with kids.

Highly recommend, and we would definitely stay here again!

Exceeded our expectations!! You can text the front desk 24/7 which was amazing because I hate having to call sometimes when my little ones are sleeping but need something quickly answered. The room was so great it had everything we needed and more. The fact there was a short and bathtub was so helpful for us. The kitchen had many items needed to cook. The pools, playground and other community amenities were so great, never experienced anything like it. We were a 9 min walk to Legoland and so close to the flower fields and many other things to do (strawberry fields). My kids had the best time. Will be returning again with more family in the future.

First off let me say I was really excited about staying here but that quickly turned sour as this place was not what I expected the room was not what the pictures looked like online and on top of that the manager (Len. A) was a complete rude individual that never returned my call until I checked out a little late and finally decided to call and show up to the room and tell me that he was going to charge me an extra $100 after the front desk employee told me first if I stay until 10:30 am I would me fine I will never stay here again.

The location is great. Good walking distance to Legoland. I love the family pool and splash pad. I think it was a good value for your money especially considering they have two bedroom suites. The staff was also amazing. Shoutout Gilbert & Rose. What was lacking is the condition of the property itself. The floors in our suite were some sort of laminate plank that were coming up all over the place. That could pose a pretty significant safety hazard. I also have to mention that when I first arrived, I was assigned to a room that a family was already in. I walked in the door to find them and all of their stuff inside. It was really awkward and concerning, but the staff handled it very well in my opinion. Hopefully the family who I walked in on felt the same way.
There was construction underway, one of the elevators was down, and the bridge across the middle of the property was kind of sketchy.
The food from Karl Strauss was not good. We also ordered beers several times and they were all pretty good and arrived to the room quickly. Again, I think the staff was great. The cooking supplies in the room was awesome. I do recommend if you aren’t worried so much about the condition of the property-needing a significant renovation.
It’s up in the air if I would stay there again or not.

The pullout bed was super dirty, the hot water took forever to get warm the first day and the second day we didn’t have any hot water, the elevator was broken that led to the room.
We were unable to buy water in the lobby when we arrived and the place where you could get filtered water was locked.
The front desk person at check-in (man) was nice but the rest of the women were not very friendly and one girl lectured me when I asked about the pool.
The night security guy named Timothy was amazing. Definitely helped us and even helped find us water. This guy could have ran the hotel. He was a gem.

Great activities available for the whole family! Love having access to the Flower Fields and the nearby outlets! The power went out in the surrounding area while we were there, but the problem was remedied quickly, and the staff was very accommodating.

Great place for parents & kids!!! Can’t beat the location with legoland on one side & the flower fields on the other! My 2 & 10 year old were both entertained!

I loved that there was a lap pool! The room was a bit worn down but it was clean and soacious. Our room had a fill kitchen and with costco so close we made great meals. It is perfect if you are spending time at Legoland but it was away from the beach and there wasn't a shuttle.

We stayed here for my son’s 6th birthday weekend at Legoland. While to rooms were great, we had some very unpleasant guests above us that didn’t let us sleep. They were loud and made all kinds of moving furniture noise from literally midnight to 3am. I called the front desk around 1am to control their guests but they only got louder and I had to go up myself. This was our second stay and first encounter like this. Made the next day terribly hard at the park for my family.

5pm checkin and 10am checkout is ridiculous. If it takes the staff a full 7 hours to clean rooms, they obviously don't have enough staff. This was my main point of contention with this hotel - it's expensive, and this level of service is laughably poor.

The other issue is that if you stay on a lower floor, you'll hear a lot of noise from the rooms above you.

On the plus side, the amenities, including the pool, splash pad, and playground are great, and the location is perfect for walking to Legoland.

Great hotel for families. Beautiful setting. Friendly staff. Great room layout. Try to get a room on the top floor to avoid upstairs neighbor noise.

Had a few issues with the room at first during check-in but they were able to make it right for us after all. Really close to legoland so that was a plus! Also kids loved the pool and splash pad the next day.

Check in was a nightmare and the staff was very rude. Got overcharged. The room was okay, spacious. The pool was fun. Construction made the walkways kinda unsightly. The very expensive breakfast was basically what would be a free breakfast at another hotel, so don't bother paying for that. If the check in for my birthday trip would have been a better experience, my score would be higher. They were just so rude.

Check in was slow due to understaffing but to GPO credit they did allow me to check in early.

One of the main elevators was under repair. 2nd stay with that challenge. We managed but would not like it to be taking so long to repair.

Kind and thoughtful staff. We stay here as often as we can!!!

Family friendly.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Was able to borrow sand toys to take the Beach and they had complimentary swim diapers available. My daughter loved the activities that are planned daily. The size of the room with the full kitchen made our stay comfortable. We will be back.

Had a great gentleman check us in. The woman who worked the register on the right side should probably not be your customer service person. Checked all the boxes but condescending and rude with a smile. Bothered I was asking questions and hoping to pass me off anywhere where possible. Loved the room, amenities and all else. She took up head space on a family trip for a bit and that was annoying.

Fire alarm wouldn’t stop going off at property after they had a fire in the activity room the day we checked in. One of the two elevators was shut down and they put us in the furthest room possible from the work elevator. Mind you this all happened while we were waiting for 2+ hours after check in time for our room to be ready with zero perks or comps for the troubles. The only reason I’d ever stay here again is for it’s proximity to Legoland.

The overall facility in the common areas (not including the lobby) is a bit dated. The condo rooms were nice. Though the couch was a bit hard to sit on for a long period. Everything else was fine. The elevator situation was bad. Most people using one elevator shaft since another was out of service. And it appears it is a prolonged outage. - they built a bridge to accommodate it. Wish breakfast was included. The price you pay it should be good but it’s on par with free breakfast at holiday inn… my kids likes the splash pad, the activity room and arcade. Though the fire alarms got old.

The elevator where our room was was out of service. A bit inconvenience with two little ones and the stuff we brough along but otherwise great location to the family pool and local shopping. Their activity center /game room was just enough entertainment for our kiddos (4 and 1)! would definitely come back. rooms are clean and spacious!
