Why People Love It

  • The in-room treasure hunt that unlocks a real LEGO prize
  • Disco elevators that blast 'Everything is Awesome' with flashing lights
  • Separate sleeping bunk-bed nooks for kids in every single room

Quick Take: A chaotic, colorful, sensory-overload paradise for children that feels like a slightly worn, sticky daycare for adults.

Reviewed by @daddy.xj: I took my family here and honestly, the disco elevator alone was worth the trip. My son was obsessed with the in-room treasure hunt—seeing his face light up when he unlocked the free Lego set was priceless. It’s chaotic but in the best possible way.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Kids think it's the best place on earth; parents tolerate the noise and average food for the sake of the convenient location.

Reality check

The hotel is showing its age (opened 2013) with worn carpets, 'tired' bathrooms, and a persistent humidity smell in some corridors.

  • Your kids live and breathe LEGO Ninjago or Minecraft
  • You want to roll out of bed and be at the park entrance in 5 minutes
  • You need a room that actually fits a family of 5 without booking a suite

Cleanliness & Maintenance

6.8
  • Housekeeping: Daily service is decent, but they often miss dust on the intricate LEGO models.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Functional but tired; expect stained grout and occasional 'sewage' smells from drains.
  • Maintenance: Showing its age (2013); peeling wallpaper and worn carpets are common complaints.
  • Linens & towels: Clean but basic; towels can feel a bit scratchy and over-washed.
  • Odors & scents: Distinct 'damp carpet' and humidity smell in hallways; lobby can smell like chlorine.

What to pack

  • Instant noodles or snacks (hotel food is pricey and mediocre)

Room Genie
