I had a decent stay at this hotel, which offered a clean environment and a convenient location near the beach and Legoland. The rooms were spacious and had a nice balcony view of the pool, but I encountered issues with cleanliness upon check-in. While the staff was generally friendly, the service could be improved, especially regarding housekeeping. Overall, the price is reasonable, but be prepared for some drawbacks that may impact your experience.
