We had a comfortable and restful stay. There were good breakfast choices. We loved that it was walking distance to the beach. We did not like that we had to pay for parking.

10 min from legoland

Checked in late, customer service was awsome. Very friendly and very informative of the area. Room was big and very clean. Big fluffy pillows which was awsome, that helped us get some sleep. Hot breakfast buffet in the morning! We stayed at 4 different hotels this trip and this was the best by far. 20/10, would stay here again in a heartbeat. Gonna actually start looking for holiday inns wherever i go.
