Very spacious, easy parking, had a two bedroom and two bathroom and living room with kitchen. It was great for our family of 5. We were right by the pool on the first floor. It was not noisy at all. Beds were comfortable. Loved the full-size refrigerator. Overall, excellent stay. Great customer service. Close to legoland and the beach. We were very impressed for the cost per night. Would definitely stay there again.
