our main reason for visiting JB as part of our trip to SG is just to go to legoland to celebrate the 4th birthday of our son. and legoland did not disappoint even tho there are a lot of renovations facilities or under maintainance rides our kids loved it.

We had a room on a high floor in Tower 1. Pretty good view. Everything worked fine in the room. it was clean and comfortable. The counter staff was friendly and courteous. Hotel was in a very good location with lots of eateries, salons, massage palours, etc. Not too crowded on weekdays. Will stay there again.
