LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent customer service through wizard text. Room had AC issues and they were attentive in handling. Fun and memorable room for kids, breakfast better than expected, and friendly staff (friendlier than in the park!)"

Grand Pacific Palisades

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean suite, very family friendly. My kids enjoyed the playground, activity room and mini arcade area. Mini water park and pool area is great. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Excellent service. Walking distance to legoland is nice. Overall experience is amazing. Would stay here again."

West Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"We have stayed here before for the holidays. Great hotel, close to Legoland. Front desk staff friendly. Loved the cookies and milk in the evening. Plenty of parking. Did not use pool but hot tub was closed. Breakfast was ok. Tater tots were still frozen. Pancakes lacked flavor. Sausages overcooked. Need more kid friendly cereals. Kitchen staff very friendly. The only thing I did not particularly care for was that the cleaning crew knocked twice at 8 am and 1045. If checkout is at 1100, please do not disturb guests before then. We understand rooms want to be turned over but we are paying to stay until the checkout time of 1100."
