LEGOLAND Castle Hotel in California is an enchanting getaway that truly delivers on every front. From the moment you step into the whimsical lobby, you’re greeted with a magical atmosphere that sets the tone for your stay. The themed rooms are nothing short of spectacular, with creative LEGO designs and ample space that make them perfect for families. The highlight of our stay was the delightful pool area. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was seamless. Dining options were also impressive, with a variety of tasty meals that catered to all ages. Overall, I highly recommend LEGOLAND Castle Hotel for anyone looking for a memorable family vacation. Whether you're a LEGO enthusiast or just after a unique hotel experience, this place is sure to impress!

Staff are very nice. We stopped here after a long drive from Washington State and right when we are about to park our car won’t start and we didn’t get to park our car with u-haul in the back. And the guy at front desk that time which is between 12am-2am let us park the u-haul on the side while we are waiting for the tow to get our truck and take it to the nearest car shop. The workers that working on the office roof helped my husband to move the u-haul so it won’t be in the way of everything while we are waiting for our car to get tow and fix. We end up staying 2 nights and didn’t worry about anything since we can see our u-haul just outside our room.
