"Our stay was great! The room was clean, the hotel is
kid friendly
because Legoland is so close, so we didnt feel bad when our
kids
were being a little louder than normal when playing with eachother. There is a great outdoor shopping center right across the street, but everything closes early (during the week). The office staff was so nice! Theres a pretty mural out front that our
kids
couldnt get enough pictures in front of. Would stay again for sure when we go to Legaland. Its down the street...
