“With its direct access to LEGOLAND, this is a convincing option for family vacations. The resort-style pool area, complete with lawn games and a waterslide, adds to the appeal for younger guests, as does the on-site dining and themed events. It's my opinion that the level of service, especially from management, ensures a satisfactory stay.”
