"Best place to stay for Legoland visit"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed February 16, 2026 NEW
Absolutely best hotel! Felt like we were at a resort in Mexico, with all the included amenities and beautiful grounds. Comfy good quality bedding. And especially LOVED the private entrance to Legoland, only a short walk away. Not to mention very reasonably priced for all that you get. Definitely will stay here again. Oh and must eat at 20/Twenty for breakfast or dinner. Great service, food and drinks.

"Great stay, especially for family going to Legoland"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed February 16, 2026 NEW
Great location for a family stay, has private access to Legoland so it’s a quick walk over. Entrance gets you in near the submarine ride so it’s a convenient spot. Staff are very kind and friendly, we came away impressed by both the young lady at the front desk and the young man working as the cashier in the hotel store (on both 2/14 and 2/15). Both were great and very kind to our family. Room was great, we had two queens with a balcony and it was very nice. Beds were comfy. There was a HVAC/plumbing noise in the walls that was a little bit of a nuisance at times but really not a big deal. Really enjoyed our stay, hope to be back. Heated pool and hot tub were both excellent amenities as well.

Perfect location for a Legoland visit with 2 under 6 yo. Close enough to move easily to the park but out of the chaos for relaxing at the pool midday. Breakfast surpassed expectations. There are lots of families and sounds of kids having fun. Jennifer an AJ we’re so helpful at the front desk and made our stay perfect.

Great place to stay if you plan on visiting Legoland! Hotel has its own private entrance into the park (entrance fees are separate). Good size pool, nice fitness center. The room was clean as were the grounds. I went with self parking as it's not far and more convenient with my family.
