LEGOLAND California Hotel

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Castle Legoland Hotel was truly amazing. My kids and my husband had a wonderful time, and the whole experience felt magical. The room was clean and exactly what I expected.The only thing I didn’t fully agree with was the check‑in and check‑out times. Checking in at 4 PM and checking out at 11 AM gives you less than 24 hours to enjoy the room.Aside from that, the breakfast was incredible, and being able to walk to the park in less than three minutes .Overall, my experience was phenomenal, and I would happily return."

"I had to park on the street which was unexpected. It saved me $20 for overnight parking onsite but we had to walk a bit to the car. Would have been nice to have had a choice. No fan in the bathroom shower so it was humid even with the small top window fully open. Consider installing one."
