6.8/10
The hotel has a perfect location right across from the outlet mall and close to Legoland, which is fantastic for families. The staff was friendly and made a significant effort to help us, especially with our son. Unfortunately, the rooms were quite outdated and had several maintenance issues that detracted from our stay. The breakfast options were quite basic and repetitive, which made me wish for something more diverse.

We had a family trip for two nights, and while the staff was very friendly, the room conditions were quite disappointing. There were persistent issues like leaks and a moldy smell, which made our stay less enjoyable. The location was great, close to several attractions and restaurants. However, the overall experience was marred by the room maintenance problems, and I left feeling it could have been much better.
