The staff is always very nice here but we were a little disappointed that we couldn't get into our room until 5:00 p.m. also we had to wait till 11:00 for the pool to be open because it hadn't been cleaned yet and when they did clean it, the spa was left dirty and overflowing. So we couldn't use it at all. We were a little disappointed on this trip. We stayed there many times and it's always been very relaxing just a little disappointed in this one

Clean, nice staff, bit uncomfy bed and really loud
We were in a downstairs room next to the stairs. Family with kids let them run up and down the stairs and because it was hard flooring, every sound was SO LOUD. Sounded like there was no insulation.Bed was really hard and uncomfy but the pillows were nice! Staff was super friendly and nice! Room was clean!

Room was just okay but the night service was terrible. Staff let a massive party scream and yell in the pool until 11:30. When I called to ask what time the pool closed I was met with rude and condescending attitude from the night host. I asked if she could tell them to be quiet and she hung up on me. Love the location and that it’s dog friendly, but other services could be better.

It waw a pretty average room. We were only given 1 washcloth for 3 of us, but the shower didn't have good water pressure and the water was lukewarm, at best. I was honestly a little disappointed. It was very convenient for shopping and going to the beach and Legoland. The staff with whom we intereacted were very friendly and professional.
