This place is super cute and QUIET! Compared to the Legoland Hotel, this place doesn't look as cool and extravagant, but I would rather stay here because it is super peaceful. You live in a small Lego house and you do have a neighbor - like a town home, but you can't even hear them on the other side. The houses are placed in circular groups and in the center has a small playground, which is nice. The bed and pillows are very comfy for the adults. The kids' beds are meh, but they probably could care less.
In the welcome packet/sheet, it says that s'mores are available at a certain time, so we thought it would be free, but sadly, it is not. It's $10.70 for a box of who knows how much stuff is in it.
The reason why I only gave this place a 4 star, is the breakfast buffet. Let's start with the pros first.
PROS:
1) Complimentary and unlimited!
2) It's a very delicious breakfast: sausage, eggs, pancakes, toast, bagels, bacon, fried potatoes, sausage gravy, biscuits, fruits, cereal, French toast, etc.
3) It has long service hours. I believe 7AM to 11 PM?
CONS:
1) It is NOT a walk in and serve yourself, like pretty much everywhere else. It's a buffet, but they SERVE you instead of you going to get the food yourself. You have to wait in line to be seated and it takes a while. I didn't mind this concept because it's their place, they make the rules. HOWEVER, I did mind because I didn't understand why it was so inefficient. When you look at the eating area, there are SO MANY empty seats and a lot of the employees are just standing around. It would literally be faster if we just served ourselves and they just clean the tables. So that was really annoying to watch as we waited.
2) I thought ordering to-go would be better, but not really. I was missing several things. They also only provide you with utensils and plates, but NO BOWLS. I got cereal and milk, but NO BOWLS. My son just ate it out of the box. Also when you are seated, they give you a LOT of breakfast because it's "family style," but when you order to-go, I guess you have to specify how much food you want? It makes no sense to me. I told them the number of people in my room and said I wanted the breakfast platter, but the food was only enough for 1. So maybe I should have asked for MULTIPLE? But seriously, how was I suppose to know? There is definitely no communication between you and the guy taking your order - which is only one by the way. He seems to just be going through the motion and doesn't even look like he wants to be there.
3) There is also no menu. I mean, I guess you could walk around the buffet bar and look around, even though you can't grab anything.
So overall, just prepare yourself for breakfast, because even if you get there at 9:00 AM, thinking it's enough time to eat then head to Legoland, which opens at 10:00AM, you're wrong!! The welcome letter did warn us about breakfast being a wait, so I guess we should have taken that seriously. I think I wouldn't have mind the wait if I thought the system and the employees were doing the best they could, but I thought the whole concept was inefficient and slow.
