The property is great for families. It has everything you need to stay with kids including a little activity center. A walk across the street to Legoland if that is a destination. Free and convenient parking. Beautiful views. Convenient to shopping and restaurants. Rose checked us in and she was so welcoming, friendly and accommodating. One major complaint that would keep us from staying again is that check in is 5 pm and check out is 10 am. Also, they don’t staff enough to have rooms cleaned or freshened up if you need. They actually have notices in the room stating there is not cleaning service on Saturday and Sunday.

I would give this hotel pretty decent reviews. It’s great for children. It has a family pool, splash pad, playground, small arcade and daily kids activities. I would not have particularly stayed here, had we not been traveling with our young child. The hotel upgraded our room from a two to three bedroom, in a better location. The downside was, the furniture was outdated and definitely needed a deep cleaning. There was a small couch and one arm chair in the living room. Not adequate seating for more than 3 people comfortably. The couch and dining room chairs were heavily stained. The king bed was definitely heavily used. It was pretty lumpy. It is definitely in need of an upgrade. The only other downside was the housekeeping situation. It was only offered on Thursday and Tuesday. Those were our check in and out days. After five days, it would have been nice to have some housekeeping. The hotel was great about sending up toiletries, if needed, but rooms were definitely not stocked for more than a couple days. There should have been extra trash bags, toilet paper, towels etc. It would have been nice to have a small vacuum in room. Other than that, it was a nice property with helpful staff.
