"The location is attached to the Windmill Food Hall, which is also an event space, and across the street from the Outlet Mall."
"They have a free shuttle to legoland and it's located across the street from a outlet with a Starbucks and the flower fields."
"But the best is the shuttle ride to and from Legoland."

6.0/10
The hotel has a great location close to the outlets and Lego Land, which is a big plus for family travelers. However, the rooms felt cramped for five people and had a musty smell upon check-in. I encountered some inconsistency with the service, as the shuttle took a long time to arrive and didn't seem well-monitored. Overall, while it offers some good amenities, the stay could definitely be improved with better room conditions and more attentive service.
