They provide a secret entrance card to legoland, so it’s much quicker than driving and very close to legoland and all you have to do is walk through a special path they have. Gave an overall rating of 3 in cleanliness because they made us wait 30 minutes past our check-in time due to the room not being ready, was told they were waiting on a supervisor to check the room was clean and ready. When we finally got our room, there was dust on the nightstand, so not sure how thoroughly they check the rooms. Staff was great, the man gave us a voucher for a free breakfast for the inconvenience. But overall, great location and beautiful resort.

They put us on the first floor by the elevator. We didn’t get any sleep bc you could hear every conversation that was taking place in the hallway and every door opening/closing. The room had low pressure water, so the shower experience was bad!! Never staying here again.

We got to the property early and spoke to the front desk. They took my information, signed paperwork and put my credit card on file. The lady at the front desk said they would call me when the room was available. It was 4pm and still no call. We drove back to the property, and the woman said they didnt check us in. She said somehow are check in paperwork wasnt registered.
