It wasn't terrible, but it cost a lot and was noisy. The staff was OK, but there has to be a better.
Pros:

The room itself was comfortable. The AC worked. Housekeeping was good

Cons:

After paying over $600 for two nights they asked for a security deposit of $100. That has never happened before. The property/room is right over the freeway and is very noisy. There are no amenities like breakfast snacks, though they said they would always have coffee, but the one time I tried it was empty (just bad luck). I did get the security deposit back.

Basic
Pros:

Location
and the fact that it was available

Cons:

Room was super basic.

Pros:

Good hotel, very friendly staff.

Cons:

Next to an eight lane freeway. Extremely loud even inside the room. Can't use the pool because it's so loud outside. More toilet paper would have been nice.

Everything was perfect besides the noise and light. But for the price I can’t complain id recommend
Pros:

The pool was great! Staff was super friendly and the rooms were very clean. Bed and pillows were comfy.

Cons:

Breakfast is okay, it’s just a chocolate croissant, coffee or tea. I can’t complain since I wasn’t planning on just eating there. The freeway noise was the worst I will say. We got the room facing the freeway so it was hard to keep the window open. The door leaked a lot of light from the halls so I would literally wake up to a lot of light in my face.

Being alone for a night, it was a good stay.
Pros:

The room was okay. I had "ear-plugs" for the traffic below. 'Breakfast' was NOT what I was expecting, of coffee and muffin, but better than nothing. I didn't have the chance to use the other amenities.

Cons:

The location facing the freeway is noisy, but the room/bed was comfortable.

Bon hôtel que je recommande
Pros:

La situation géographique pour atteindre Legoland mais quasi rien autour. L'accueil. L'ascenseur.

Cons:

Le bruit de l'autoroute à quelques mètres.

Comfortable and close to Lego Land!
Pros:

It was such a nice stay, sooo close to Lego land, and the woman helping at the front desk was an absolute delight! She was so welcoming! She needs a raise!
