This was our second time staying at the property so we could visit Legoland. We absolutely loved it both times. The separate bedroom for our kids was great and the kids loved the splash pad and pool. The full kitchen had everything we could possibly need for cooking meals in our room. We loved that the bar lets you take drinks up to the room. We will definitely stay again!

We had a great stay at GPP with our family of small kids. We recommend this property for folks looking to stay very close (across the parking lot) to Legoland! It was also handy they have on-site laundry machines (credit card operated) One minor (rather annoying) issue that came up during Check-Out - was that the hotel had billed us an incorrect (alot higher room rate) vs what we confirmed with Expedia. We did have to call several times to front desk - and once they realized the error, the hotel was able to quickly refund the difference. (hot tip: if booking thru Expedia, be sure to double check what they bill you!) Other than that - our family had a great stay!

I was gifting this to our daughter and son in law for a little get away. I made sure to upgrade them some to a small suite but was pretty disappointed that even though you were definitely not at capacity you did not give them a room with the view of the flower fields. One of the main reasons I chose this site. Sooooo the kids liked it but it could have been better service wise.

Hello Mary, thank you for reviewing us. Unfortunately we were not able to upgrade this reservation. Often times our property is only full on the ocean view units. And it is understandable why guests prefer that side. All feedback is helpful. We appreciate you taking the time to share with us.

My wife initially booked our stay at another motel. The other hotel wreaked of smoke and weed. The bed sheets and pillows had stains like they were not washed. I quickly found Grand Palisades and booked a room. I’m very glad I stayed here. Family friendly and nice and extremely clean. We are getting ready to plan another trip to stay there again in March.
