"We stayed after visiting legoland. It was a very close drive. We arrived a little earlier than check in and the staff was very helpful and accommodating and got us in early. The pool was nice and clean and not too crowded. We love the studio style room we got, very comfortable for a family of 4. The brunch included the next morning was delicious and a-lot of options to choose from. Best of all free parking! Would definitely stay again!"
