Hotel staff was great. Room smelled upon entry but was fine once air was on. The motion light by the sink is so annoying recommend replacing go on when u don’t and turns off when you don’t want.

Disappointed
Well the hotel laundry cuaght on fire the hotel was evacuated for over 2 hours. My son and i where very excited to go to legoland the following day but due to his asthma and all the smoke he inhaled durring the fire he had an asthma attack and we had to come home missing out on legoland. I feel so badly for him .
