"The couple and the extended family of the bride and groom for a small wedding stayed here, and it was great. The staff were helpful, coordinated separate reservations for us, and ensured we had the adjacent rooms we needed. The Hyland Inn Near Legoland provided good value for a Friday overnight stay during the summer."

8/10 Good
"The young lady at the front desk (J 😊) is amazing! She was so friendly and warm to my daughter and I. My daughter was sad to leave her when we had to go home. She is the best thing about this hotel, hands down. She makes you feel right at home! Regarding the hotel itself, it’s good, not great. The location is perfect for Legoland and food, and is on the lower end for pricing in the area, which is why we chose it. No regrets. The room was very clean, although on the small side and oddly spaced out, with the bathroom at the front, then a long hallway to the room itself. The room was very basic, with basic amenities.. mini-fridge, microwave, small table, small desk and chairs .. but no coffee pot. The internet didn’t work for the tv, so we couldn’t use it for our whole stay, and the wifi only worked the first night, not the second. The lighting is definitely lacking, with one ceiling light off to the corner side of the room, and two bedside lamps that only provide light to the nightstands themselves. There is a small pool, which does not go very deep and is pleasantly warm. The parking is a bit sketchy, a tight squeeze unless you go around back. The proximity to the freeway makes it very noisy all night long. All in all, It was good enough for our stay, without costing too much. And again, the young lady at the front made all the difference. The grumpy older man on the night shift would not have sold us on this place."

"Great location. Great breakfast. Having beach chairs and beach towels available was a plus. Pool was kinda small but manageable. Having to use the room card to gain access to various floors was reassuring. Would stay here again."
