Excellent

We were upgraded to a three bedroom two bathroom unit with a large dining table that became a hub for our groups activities.
We did have to pay $35 a night for parking.
This was a 2 night family of 3 stay to visit LEGOLAND and the convenience of walking through their private entrance was really nice and the main reason for the visit. We used the pools which were also nice and appreciated the options. It was quite a large area the resort is on so there’s a shuttle service to take you around if needed. Room was clean, although there were quite a bit of spiders/webs around, the room itself was clean and shower was hot.

It was okay. The customer service felt transactional not personable.
My experience was pretty good overall. Easy check-in (would be nice if it was at 3pm instead of 4pm), room was clean, spacious (for one) and quiet. I liked that quiet hours were reminded every day via text.

We saw lots of spiders in the room. The right hand sink handle was loose, you could hear the neighbor from upstairs anytime they walked. The pool staff were overwhelmed and gave poor service.

The internet/expedia needs to be re-educated as to the offering of early entry to Legoland-NOT.
The rooms that are below 1 bedroom also needs to express that the larger pools/playground are buildings over, as is the parking/walk to private entrance. Had to upgrade to meet my expectations and bill was posted incorrectly to my CCard. Had to reiterate a proper billing. Most available restaurants are at surrounding hotels-even a fresh cup of coffee! Very nice room, but would do more research next time. Also Expedia Customer Service confirmed park early access and THAT needs to change! Good vacation, but disappointing in some aspects. Did find property quite nice but would not stay in anything smaller than a one bedroom. Pool was quite large and nicely landscaped.

Lots to do if you’re looking for a resort. Bed was very uncomfortable
We loved our stay - the kitchen one bedroom was perfect for our family, it even had a washer/dryer! Our kids loved the pool and waterslide and there is even a golf cart which gets you around the very large property to all the buildings. Thanks to Tom the golf cart driver, and all the friendly front desk staff!
Went over Father’s Day weekend so it was naturally busy. Check in is 4pm but we were not able to check in till 530pm. Nothing was offered for the inconvience. I enquired about extending my stay but as the property is actually a timeshare the reception cannot help you with any bookings it’s all online.
We stayed in the condo suite, room was nice, comfortable bed, it does get warm even with the air con on, there’s no ceiling fans in the room. would have been nice if there were some waters left in the room but there isn’t.
There are no elevators so you have to carry everything up two flights of stairs.
We used the private entrance to Legoland which was convienent. It takes you closer to the back of the park. However when entering I was asked for the private entrance pass from the hotel which was never given to me? The staff were nice enough to let it slide.
Overall the stay was decent, if you don’t need the private entrance you could prob find somewhere much cheaper, the Legoland parking doesn’t really make a difference as the hotel charges $35 a night to park anyway.
