LEGOLAND California Hotel

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The castle hotel was nice we stayed in the wizard deluxe and the light up background in the main sleeping area was cool the little one loved that but it made her wanna sleep in our bed lol we told her lights out or the Legos would melt so that worked lol the staff was friendly and the breakfast was ok on our 3rd day they had choc chip pancakes in the shape of Lego heads that was cute the walking distance to the park itself is like less than 2 mins and sooo convenient. We loved the dance party attended that for 2/3 of our nights. Our 5 year sai she likes it better than Disneyland so we will be back in the spring lol"
