The room is big and clean. The beds are comfortable. The breakfast is very good.
It is not a perfect score because the shower is noisy and the drain is a bit clogged.

Our room was spotless. It had a small fridge and microwave. The free breakfast was served until 9 or 9:30 AM depending on weekday/weekend, and included a waffle station, eggs and protein, toast/muffin/bagel, cereal, oatmeal with lots of fixings (raisins, granola, cranberry raisins, brown sugar, etc.). I highly recommend this hotel for your next stay, as it's spotless and centrally located to Legoland California Resort as well as other northern San Diego County attractions.
