I booked this property on a whim without much research and so was incredibly surprised at how nice it was! The host (Janie) was incredibly communicative and gave clear check in instructions. Parking in front of their house was very easy. The property is incredibly clean and well equipped - they provided bottles of water, dressing robes etc. which was a lovely touch. The bed was very cosy and I slept like a log for those three days! Yoghurt, granola and fruit is provided for breakfast which was perfect, as well as access to their lovely back patio. Janie herself is also a delight - I was lucky to have a long chat with her and learn a little bit about her life and the area! Would definitely recommend if you want a quiet, safe and peaceful stay (important as a female solo traveller), close to but outside the hustle and bustle of San Diego.

Magical stay for the night. Awesome facilities, great pool, kids loved the in-room experience as a real standout during our 3 week holiday. Pop badge collection was great fun, the food in the buffet was varied and well presented. The beds were comfortable and everything felt clean and well catered for. We had a problem in the room with the lighting and the staff were incredibly quick to respond and resolve. The stand out was the hilarious duo who ran the bingo session and the staff at the pool & the porters for being proactively informative and helpful. The proximity to the park was of course a major bonus! We loved our time at Legoland.

Staff are very nice. We stopped here after a long drive from Washington State and right when we are about to park our car won’t start and we didn’t get to park our car with u-haul in the back. And the guy at front desk that time which is between 12am-2am let us park the u-haul on the side while we are waiting for the tow to get our truck and take it to the nearest car shop. The workers that working on the office roof helped my husband to move the u-haul so it won’t be in the way of everything while we are waiting for our car to get tow and fix. We end up staying 2 nights and didn’t worry about anything since we can see our u-haul just outside our room.
