This hotel is in a very convenient location. We came to Cali for Legoland and this was exactly what we needed after all day at the park! We had breakfast every morning in the lobby and had a nice soak in the hottub at night even in the rain. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly throughout our stay!

What I did not like was having Expedia's reservation for me not making it to the hotel. They were full so I had to make my own arrangements at another hotel 20 miles away. I did not get a room till about 8pm finally. Expedia tried to find a room but took too long and I did not want to sleep in my car.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
It was nice that the bedroom was separated. The curtains you could not really open because people outside can see through so the room had to be lit so it would not be dark. The first night was really noisy. The bathroom upstairs can be heard downstairs. Woke up at 3 am because someone was taking a shower. Breakfast was ok: didn’t like the egg omelette and the potatoes was spicy. Liked that something changed daily. I thought the hotel was expensive for being a 2 star.
