    Great place for families, 5 minutes walk from LegoLand

    • Two-Bedroom Suite
    • Stayed 3 nights

    3 TV's in 3 different rooms but only one remote? No coffee in the premises. Only restaurant in the place is not open for breakfast.

    The two room apartment was great. Both rooms had plenty of space, beds were comfortable and a fully equipped kitchen if you wanted to cook. The complex was clean and tidy with plenty of parking underground. There's a kiddy pool as well as one for the adults in a different area. We didn't use either but I believe they are both heated. There was some construction going on but we weren't bothered by it.

    house keeping only comes on Thursdays.

    close proximity to Lego Land, literally 5 min walk to get onto Lego land property. great view from the lobby of the Flower Fields. close proximity to freeway, literally 5-7 minutes. we stayed in a SUITE and it was spacious for my family of 4. i didn’t realize the room had a stove, refrigerator, microwave, sink, pots/pans dishes AND dishwasher. if i had, i would have brought food to cook from home. instead i drove approximately 10-15 minutes to a grocery store to buy some food. not bad. there is a restaurant on the property (but not attached to hotel) that serves DELICIOUS food and beer. big fan!

    I don't really have any complaints. I think once the renovations are complete, the hotel will be even better.

    This was an extremely family friendly hotel. It was an extremely convenient location at a reasonable price.

    It was just nice all around. It was very kid friendly they handed out popsicles for the kids one day and the next the kids got to make bracelets we missed the painting a piggy bank because we didn’t know but that was our fault

    It was so nice to be able to have my whole family with us in the same room and it was also affordable

    Some things do need updates or just a good cleaning. The sofa had stains on the arm rest and the dining tables as well. The bathroom doors needed to be clean as well. I took my own clorox wipes, and I didn't understand how a kettle would work with teabag like coffee ?! as I didn't find the coffee maker. Wished check out was at 11 or 12 just cause the check-in time is really late.

    For a last-minute trip, it was pretty amazing ! The rooms were definitely big, with most amenities. The rooms are large and the view from the room is beautiful. The kids enjoyed the pool area, the arcade, and the daily activities wished I could have stayed longer!

    Onsite dining is limited and expensive. A resort like this would benefit from at least an onsite breakfast buffet, for example. The property had some slightly run-down features, however they are in process of remodeling, so that might not really count against them.

    Beautiful location, walking distance to Legoland, and close to many conveniences and sights. Very family oriented, which suited our needs. There js a pool for kids and one for adults, a small game room, laundry, BBQs etc. It’s some sort it hotel/timeshare resort hybrid. Our room was nicely updated, and clean. A free shuttle to close by locations is offered, which was useful to us since we came without a car. The walking path behind the hotel that overlooks the ocean and the seasonal flower fields was a great bonus.

    We arrived on a Wednesday for a 5 night stay with 4 adults, toddler and a baby and didn’t receive any house cleaning. We had so much trash by Friday and needed towels we had to call front desk to bring them to us. The beds need new mattress it was very hard and uncomfortable.

    The location, pools and restaurant and rooms were nice and big.

    I didn't like how there wasn't no free breakfast in the morning. I would love to have a free breakfast and enjoy a good coffee to see the beautiful view in the quiet pool where I can see the ocean view

    Love the family pool. The kids enjoy the hot tub. Also, I love the walk outside where you can see the beautiful flower fields and the ocean view. Plus, legoland was just right there. The kids enjoy the walk to legoland.

    We really loved being able to stay in a suite with an oven and kitchen accessories. Each day we cooked and had a homemade meal, so this aspect was really great. I love that there’s a bathtub separate from the shower, my son loves baths and we were able to have a bath in a very clean tub. The room was immaculate and was had such a peaceful stay.

    Nothing I didn’t like about the hotel just wish breakfast was included for free but I guess that’s everywhere

    The room was super spacious I love the jack and Jill room connected to the bathroom and the room with its own bathroom dining table for all of us to sit and eat all the kitchen amenities this room was just perfect I always try and look for decent hotel rooms and I finally can say this room has been one of our best rooms we have ever checked out we definitely will be checking this out again for our future trips. Families wanting to know it is a 5 minute walk to legoland right across the street perfect the guest services was perfect as we walked in we were greeted by front by Ben then checked In my kids received candy and little goodies by guest service and we were given additional information for other activities, restaurants and other things. Hotel has daily activities for the kids to do arcade and play ground. No trouble with parking. Only thing if you want to know breakfast isn’t free. They also gave us a paper for a discount at a restaurant that was really nice Overall highly recommend this hotel especially the queen suite.
