The pool was not heated and the spa was luke warm. We ordered glasses and a wine bottle opener and it took 1.5 hrs to receive it. Also the walls and ceiling are not very well insulated. We woken up at 6:30 am to stomping running and children screaming

Our room was nice and big and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. We weren't there for Legoland, but literally nothing else is within walking distance. If you do have a car, most things are ~10 minutes away, so with that in mind, the location isn't bad. However, it's clear at least parts of the property are in need of updating and maintenance, and that last touch of service that becomes a 4 star property just isn't there. 3.5 stars, not 4.

Nice resort but bad food.
Overall the stay was very nice. The hotel and grounds were well taken care of and very clean. The staff were all helpful and extremely friendly. We enjoyed the pool and used bicycles. The food in the 7 mile restaurant was terrible however. The Mac and cheese burger was cold and the macaroni was not completely cooked. The loaded fries tasted like everything was made with all canned and processed ingredients. Neither was edible. We did order pancakes through room service in the morning and they were very good.

Cassandra at the pole was awesome. She handled the whole pole area herself. The lobby staff was awesome. The waiter at the 7mile was awesome. Room was clean. Bed was super comfortable. The noise…people above us must have had kids playing tag until 10pm and then again at 6:30am. A smoke alarm in an adjacent room started going off at 4:30 in the morning for a good half hour. Not the hotel’s fault, but I am tired today. Overall. This place is great, even for a staycation. Wouldn’t trade the day/night for another place.

My 6 year old loved the water slide! They have to have someone run it, so it was not always open, but they did have someone about 10a. It closes some time in the afternoon. The access to Legoland was great! So convenient, easy walk. The restaurant 7 mile was nice, food was good, but expensive. Parking was also expensive. Kids liked the pool and the fitness center. Main thing was the access to Legoland and the pool. Rooms were fine, a good size. We had a view of a driveway behind the property and a incline. Not amazing. A water filler would be nice.
