We only need it for one night, every thing was booked on a late Friday. Walking distance to Costco, close to the beach but the room is so so. Really good for one night.

you get what you pay for
Good enough. The location is amazing for Legoland. The bed and pillows are really hard. There are zero toiletries furnished, just hand soap. Towels are super small and there is no coffee maker in the room. But I would stay here again just for the location and price. Room was not that clean

Not for me
Unfortunately the refrigerator was dirty as well as the floor. The show was rusted and had a bad smell from the drain.
OMG all night long we heard the dog next to us barking and running all around the room. Let say I was out by 8am.
Never again at this location

Good lobby customer service but the bad part was the floor was never swept, it was disgusting, especially having kids around, it was not good.
