"Hotel was reasonably priced and was in good shape. Pool hadn’t been cleaned in a while but the pool area was great. Good breakfast. Staff said the pool was heated, it wasn’t."

"Clean room. Great location. Pleasant and helpful staff."

LEGOLAND California Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is our second time staying here and I will always stay here when visiting legoland! The breakfast is all you can eat and included in your stay. The breakfast is a step up from those cheap hotels you stay at but for free and when feeding kids, it’s a great deal The only hiccup I had this last time was I needed a trundle bed for my niece and they couldn’t accommodate it which was super strange. But the hotel and pool are amazing! I always do the valet parking and a valet named Sebastian was always kind and courteous and quick with the car recovery. The entertainment is so fun and honestly for what we pay it’s a great deal to stay here. Will be booking again here soon !"
