Overall, enjoyed stay and would stay again if ever in the area.
Pros:

I liked the location and the breakfast was delicious. The rooms were also clean.

Cons:

The sleeper sofa mattress was old and dirty. It definitely needs to be replaced. One other thing was the construction going on. Having a small child, the noise made it a little difficult for naps.

Breakfast was good, housekeeping came and cleaned our room and gave us fresh linen. Although every night we had to go to
Pros:

How close it was to the beach and Legoland. Also the breakfast was convenient and tasted good.

Cons:

How close it was to the highway, also every time we back to the room our room key would not work. Which was unfortunate considering we were exhausted and tired so we just wanted to lay down after a long day at Legoland but we had to go back to the front desk to reset our room key every single night.

Had a wonderful time in a good area with the kids.
Pros:

Fitness room. And the breakfast. The safe area. The staff. All were good.

Cons:

It’s a little old. Things like the bath tub were old. Some rust spots. The place has had a remodel. Or two

It was okay but not great.
Pros:

It was right off the freeway.

Cons:

The tub and shower were flaking, there was rust in the corners of the grout. There was a missing shampoo in one of the bathrooms and you could get the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash off of the walls (anyone could have put anything in those bottles).

Pros:

It was close proximity from Legoland and supermarkets.

Cons:

The room did not match the booking.com description of having a king bed and a queen sofa pull out. We also tried three different rooms and all of them were dirty with rust stains on the mattresses. Two of the three of them smelled like urine.
