What guests think

Many guests appreciate ocean or flower-field views, easy access to nearby restaurants, and a short drive to the beach. Rooms are consistently spacious and functional for families, though some feel dated, noisy in certain locations, or less comfortable due to hard mattresses or worn furniture. Service is frequently friendly and accommodating, yet some report rude interactions, delayed room readiness, limited housekeeping, and strict 5 pm check-in/10 am check-out policies. Expect a convenient, kid-focused base with great space and amenities, but uneven upkeep.

This hotel is a quick and convenient walk to Legoland. The rooms are a great size for groups or larger families. The underground parking is easy to use and spa and pool were nice way to end the day. There was a weekly activity schedule if you wish to partake, but we did not. We visited the Karl Strauss restaurant on site and the food and drinks were fantastic. This hotel is dated and they have made attempts to update it, but the carpet in the bedrooms really needs replacing as it’s very worn down and dirty. I also found hair in several places in the bathroom from previous guests which grossed me out. We also had guests in the room above us who we could hear walking around several times so the sound insulation was not the best.

Elevators were broken which made our stay exceptionally hard with my mother who's handicap. We were told by staff upon arrival at least it's the 2nd floor and not the 3rd! How does that help someone who's disabled? That's 2 flights of stairs we had to basically carry her up! We even paid more for an ADA room and this hotel is not convenient for anyone with disabilities. We even got a complaint from someone staying underneath us 5 minutes upon oir arrival that my kids were walking too loudly! Our trip was not pleasant from the minute we got there and we will no longer be staying here in the future.

The overall facility in the common areas (not including the lobby) is a bit dated. The condo rooms were nice. Though the couch was a bit hard to sit on for a long period. Everything else was fine. The elevator situation was bad. Most people using one elevator shaft since another was out of service. And it appears it is a prolonged outage. - they built a bridge to accommodate it. Wish breakfast was included. The price you pay it should be good but it’s on par with free breakfast at holiday inn… my kids likes the splash pad, the activity room and arcade. Though the fire alarms got old.

Fire alarm wouldn’t stop going off at property after they had a fire in the activity room the day we checked in. One of the two elevators was shut down and they put us in the furthest room possible from the work elevator. Mind you this all happened while we were waiting for 2+ hours after check in time for our room to be ready with zero perks or comps for the troubles. The only reason I’d ever stay here again is for it’s proximity to Legoland.

The property has definitely aged and could use some updates—it likely was quite nice at one point. The elevator was out of service during our stay, which made being on the third floor a bit inconvenient. The pool loungers were a nice touch, and the room itself was decent—simple but clean. One thing to note: the listing mentions a shuttle to Legoland, but that service is no longer offered. On the plus side, guest parking is free, which was appreciated.

We loved this resort! We chose it because we did LegoLand for my sons third birthday and it was a blast, the resort is a very short walk to the theme park, they had 2 pools, a hot tub, basketball court, arcade, and so much more!! The staff was super nice and accommodating, we asked for an early check in about a week before our stay, they told us they couldn’t promise anything but that whenever we arrived they would give us a key card to do whatever we wanted in the hotel! And it didn’t matter anyways because we arrived around 2:45pm and our room was ready! The elevator in the villa we were staying in was out of order, which was a pain since we were on the top floor and staying 5 nights so we had quite a bit of luggage but they did wave our resort fee due to the inconvenience so that was very nice. The only thing I would say would be my complaint is only having one smoking section, and it being completely on the other side of the resort from where we were staying, but other than that we had an amazing time and would definitely book again!

The elevator where our room was was out of service. A bit inconvenience with two little ones and the stuff we brough along but otherwise great location to the family pool and local shopping. Their activity center /game room was just enough entertainment for our kiddos (4 and 1)! would definitely come back. rooms are clean and spacious!

This is my third or fourth time staying at this resort my family and I have always significantly enjoyed our stay here. Property is beautiful to say the least. However, on this particular stay, we were on a ground floor level room unfortunately during our stay, we have limited use of our patio due to the fact that every time we were out there, there was cockroaches and spiders one night My Man counted over 15 cockroaches on our patio. I cannot stay on cockroaches, and these things spread like wildfire. Needless to say on the second day of our trip when I went to get in the shower, there was a cockroach in the shower meaning that they are inside when I called the front desk letting them know I requested a new room because I do not want cockroaches coming home in my bags or anything like that. Unfortunately they didn’t have any rooms available because they were at full capacity she offered to send out maintenance to take a look at the infestation. I let her know I’m not comfortable with them spraying while we are on the site. Aside from that no additional help was offered not even a discount off of our stay so I ended up paying over $1400 for three nights to stay in a cockroach infested property.

We had a really bad experience here, sink toilet blocked, elevator not working that made our checkout really hard carrying everything through the stairs. We saw multiple mice or rats dropping in the kitchen. We reported it, it was cleaned and the next morning we saw even more. Management was really poor dealing with this, it is very frustrating to have to deal with this while traveling with your baby, last night we couldn’t sleep thinking about about and if they were going to enter the room or our beds.

Pool was nice, property was quiet, walking distance to Lego land, friendly staffs. Possible rodent in room (food left out on kitchen counter was found bit into when return to room), obvious stains on chairs and sofa (needed to cover with towels before sitting). Water pressure can be a bit stronger (didn’t feel completely clean even after showers). BIGGEST COMPLAINT OF PROPERTY: I FOUND IT VERY RUDE TO RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE AFTER CHECKING OUT TO BE TOLD TO DO THINGS SUCH AS BEGGING TRASH AND OTHER CHORES ON THE NEXT VISIT!! A COMPLETE TURN OFF AND WILL REALLY RECONSIDER STAYING THERE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE 😡😡😡😡

We got a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo. Was perfect for our family of 2 kids, mom, dad and grandma. Only complaint is the king bed mattress is rock hard like OMG sleeping on the floor would have been softer. The kids beds were nice memory foam and comfy. Even the pull out sofa was more comfortable. But the pool, and kids splash pad area are nice. Would stay here again.

Our suite was spacious, but in poor condition. This hotel looks lovely from the photos, but in person it was just okay. We possibly had one of the worst rooms available, right next to the noisy lobby, and the kitchen hadn't been updated like the other rooms. We had to call to get a drawer repaired that wouldn't open, and one of the bathroom doors wouldn't open properly. There was a small arcade for the kids, but the machines were quite dated. Our view from our room was looking right out at the adults' pool, which was noisy at night and not private at all, so we had to keep our blinds closed the whole time. On the plus side, it was an easy walk to Legoland and the BBQs came in handy for grilling a quick dinner. We didn't try the pool because it was a bit too cold during our stay. Not the worst hotel, but for the price we paid, I'd definitely stay somewhere else next time.

This was my daughter’s 7th birthday weekend and I chose these hotel because it was the closest walk to legoland. On maps it said it was a 7 minute walk but it is literally across the street and there is an access door, so in reality it was more like 4 minutes. I had seen pictures online but they didn’t do this resort the justice it deserved. It is incredible with beautiful views. The staff is amazing and so eager to help with anything needed. We arrived at 11am and check in wasn’t till 4. I didn’t plan on checking in but wanted to ask front desk if we could park there so we could just walk to legoland and to my surprise the girl said a room was ready and we could check in (5 hours early). The property and rooms were incredibly clean, heated pools, kids water pad, arcade, ping pong, bbq grills, well stock lobby bar, dvds, game boards, fire pits, gym, and I know I am missing so many other things, but as a father and husband, I strongly recommend. I have definitely found a resort that I am looking forward to returning.

One of the best things about Grand Pacific Palisades was the size of the room. It was very spacious, and having two separate bathrooms was especially convenient. I think the layout would be ideal for families or larger groups traveling together. However, there were several disappointing aspects of our stay. First, the facilities felt quite outdated and could benefit from renovation. We were also surprised to find a welcome message addressed to someone else in our room. It was a small detail, but it made us question how carefully the room had been prepared for our arrival. The biggest issue was the mosquitoes inside our room. We personally killed two mosquitoes, and we were concerned about getting bitten while sleeping. As a result, we felt we had to keep the bedroom door tightly closed throughout the night. Overall, while we really appreciated the spacious accommodations and family-friendly layout, the outdated facilities, lack of attention to detail, and mosquito problem negatively affected our experience. I hope the management will address these issues, as the property has the potential to offer a much better guest experience.

This place definitely wasnt the worst, but it really needs some TLC. Our biggest issue though was that the supervisor (Naz) who checked us in told us that the childrens splash pad and pool area were closed for filter cleaning when we checked in on Tuesday, but that it would be open the next morning. So with this information we planned to have a resort day the following day and save our final day Thursday at Legoland so we could enjoy that area along with the rest of the amenities/ activities the resort had to offer. But the next morning that area that was closed remaind closed and when I called Naz at the front desk she said it would soon be opened up and that they were just doing the finishing touches. Hours later we get a text message saying the pool area would not be opened after all today (Wednesday) and that it wouldn't be open till Thursday morning. This made us very upset because had she told us the truth from the beginning we would of gone to Legoland on Wednesday instead while they were still working on that pool area. Then left Thursday as our resort day to enjoy the kids pool area. We did end up going to the pool area on Thursday after our Legoland trip but it was already very late in the evening and the kids at that point were shivering within 5 minutes of been in the pool and splash pad area. When I checked out on Friday morning I told them how upset I was and it seemed like they did not care on making things right. Won't ever be going to this resort ever again.

Enjoyed are stay family staycation - Kids pool, playground, Adult pool and firepit s'mores - Used to come here years ago with my friends timeshare. You can see they have not maintained it well. The bathroom flooring had tape holding down the tile, the property used to be very clean - leaves everywhere - no one cleaning them up. The foam in the kids water park and playground very warn - There were used band-aids around the kids pool. Since they were there all weekends it indicates they were not doing a good cleaning in the kids pool. Watching the kids have fun was enjoyable. I will probably be back again, because overall it is a fun place for the kids. Just hoping they pay for more staff to attend to the details.

The resort was very nice. We did not use any of the amenities as we only stayed one night due to a conference and the location close to the venue. The room and staff were very helpful, rooms are large and clean. Furnishing we nice however, the fixtures could use dusting and the first floor windows had spiderwebs. Unfortunately we could hear running in the room above until 10:30 pm.l called the front desk around 8:30 pm and they call them. But since it was not 10 PM, they could not enforce anything until 10. After 10:30 ish and a second call the running stopped.So if you are an earlly to bed, and dont like runners above you, ask for top floor.
