Pool picture is fake. There's a fence around the pool that's not in the picture. Also, the pool is much smaller than the picture suggests. Also, the hot tub wasn't even warm. This was after I requested that the temp be raised. Also, walking barefoot in the room led to filthy feet--nasty. Also, no rubber bath mat and a super slippery bath tub floor, and no grab bar. Also, I had reserved an accessible first floor room with a queen bed and got a second floor room (no elevator) with two double beds. Very unhappy.

Bathroom door was old and hinge pulled out of cheap door wood. Only closed if I lifted door up to assist the hinge. Shower controls were not attached to wall, just floating inside Sheetrock so the pipes all flexed when controls were used. I worried about causing a solder joint break when I turned water on/off. Ceiling had some discoloration from humidity. Otherwise beds were nice and clean. Pool was great, kids loved it. No food options in hotel, but good restaurant options close by. Very short drive to LEGOLAND.

I attempted tp check in around 7:30 pm. Im did book last minute, however I had to wait 30 minutes for someone to come back from their lunch. I told her that I was about 10 mins away and she said that she would see me in 30 minutes because she was going to lunch. Terrible customer service in my opinion. Other than that, our stay was great.

Hotel had the friendliest reception staff I have encountered in my travels and it was really fast to check in and check out. Rooms were a little dated but very comfortable and clean. Pool was nice although I did not use it. Workout room was small but convenient.
