Great location.
Parking is not included. They charge an additional $12.00 per night. Bit ridiculous considering we are guest and ya know already paid for a room.

Pool and hot tub were clean. Breakfast eating area was clean and employees welcoming. Bathroom by lobby was out of soap, toilet paper, towels and it was a Saturday morning and we were leaving and checked out of room early so we needed to use that bathroom. The food needs to be warmer. Bacon was good but the sausage and egg muffins and gravy and biscuits were only warm. it was 8 am in the morning when we were getting our breakfast. Chairs and cushions were lovely and clean!
Homeless person entered breakfast area and started loading his pockets. Lots of youth sports camps kids around and families. It made us uncomfortable and he was pretty dirty, talking to himself. Girl at front desk appeared to notice him but did not say anything or approach him. He was very tall and lean.

This hotel is right by the freeway which is nice, and the hotel itself is very clean and affordable to stay in. The complimentary breakfast is also great, and the staff was very welcoming to me and my family when we checked in. I would stay here again.

We liked the layout of the open area. Loved the cinnamon buns. We liked the first floor room and the short walking distance to the lobby. The staff were always pleasant and helpful when help was needed, Easy to get on and off the highway. Close proximity to everything.
In the breakfast area, the hot water dispenser needs some decalcification. Not enough bacon. Not enough Handicap parking.

Great staff, Robert (I think) was amazing. Only real issue was that there was nearly no conditioner, and no body wash at all in the communal bottles. Not a huge deal because there was plenty of shampoo and hand soap, but just as a heads up.

The hotel was close to legoland and a short drive to food areas. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Although the room I originally booked was overbooked by the system, EJ, the hotel staff, provided me with an additional room at no cost for the inconvenience.
The room I originally booked was overbooked by the system. My last name was used as my first name, so it took a moment to find my reservation. That gave me a little scare.

It was clean, good price, and close to our friends.
Did not like that they charged $12 for parking. It was not listed anywhere when booking the site.

The breakfast and closeness to the beach. The lady who checked us in was very sweet and professional.
The loud ac and the noise level with guest on the main floor. The breakfast area could have been bigger.
