Very good

The room was clean on the surface, but we needed to pull the nightstand away from the hall and there was a considerable amount of garbage behind the furniture. The coffee at breakfast was very good and the breakfast itself was good.
Clean room. Easy check in. Nice breakfast included. Comfortable beds.

I’m not sure why they have the main image of the hotel as some other hotel because it’s definitely not what this hotel looks like. I messaged the host at 9:30 am prior to my 4 pm check in about something and 3 days later they never replied to me. Pool and hot tub was nice. We had 4 people staying in the room so we had to ask for extra towels and cups there was only 2 towels and 1 coffee cup. Breakfast was ok but lots of options. The staff was very friendly and very close to LEGO land

I reserved 2 rooms. One for my sister and me. My brother and his wife had the 2nd room. In my brother's room, the TV did not work. They called the front desk and were told no one could come and look at it for 25 minutes. No one did come to look at the TV. Their mattress was not comfortable. It was like sleeping on the floor - not good. The breakfast was good, and the hotel is centrally located. For my room, it was not thoroughly cleaned. I found a child's pair of shorts under the sink. We had no washcloths. I had to ask for some. We also did not have any Kleenex or glasses. I had to take cups from the coffee area.
Our stay was ok, but I don’t have a desire to go back. There was never towels at the pools - I had to ask for towels at the desk every time my kids and I went to the pool. They never cleaned our room, so our trash can was full, we didn’t have enough towels and the soap in the shower was empty. I would ask for towels and they would say they would bring them, but never did. The elevators made horrible noise. I over heard a guest say she got stuck in one & then all of a sudden the elevator was out of order. Our stay was ok…but nothing makes me want to recommend or go back.

Avoid room 121 on the first floor at all cost trouble with the TV Internet didn’t even have TV the first night also shower doors were broken. Also blanket was very uncomfortable. It was some sort of sheet of it over a blanket. I did not like that we were right in front of the laundry room. There was so much noise above us on the second floor all night long also there was always trash outside our bedroom door because that’s where the laundry room was. Also, the pool was not very clean and the towel smelled not fresh. so also the room didn’t smell fresh. There was a lot of rust on the ceiling where the emergency fire water things. Everything just looked old and broken and I forgot the toilet seat was broken was flapping all over the place.
The rooms were clean. The shower seemed a little bit outdated . The breakfastwas wonderful. The pool area was slightly unclean. The pool was slightly dirty, and there were not enough pool towels
