Overall, the hotel was nice and the staff was very friendly. The hotel is showing her age a little, but nothing that can't be spruced up.

We took the decision of book this hotel based on some good review. What you need to know about this place, is you will get no more than what you are paying for. We selected this place for a weekend visiting Legoland. The hotel is old, the room are smelly, old decor with a 32" Tv that deserve to be in a museum, I haven't seen on tv than old in a long time...My wife found a roach, and she wasn't able to use the shower. I tried and I couldn't as well, called Front desk and she asked me to pull hard the shower faucet knob.I couldn't. Front desk people showed up to my room and taught me to pull really hard to use the shower...This lady seem upset because she had to pulled really hard and show me I was wrong!!! LOL when she left, I noticed that you had no chance to control the water's temperature!!!! Thanks god was hot and not ice cold!!! Breakfast is poor, Anyways...If we had the chance to not stay in this hotel anymore, absolutely we will!!! I don't recommend this hotel, unless your budget is tight. « less
