Unlimited access to the neighboring spa Facility is a great perk. With so many types of baths, my favorite is the carbonated spring in the open-air bath.

We visited LEGOLAND for the first time on a birthday trip for my son, who just turned 7. Before heading to the park, we left our luggage at the hotel (you can check in, but rooms are available from 4:00 PM). We played from the 10:00 AM opening until the 6:00 PM closing—my son rode a total of 24 attractions and had an amazing time—then headed back to the hotel. As soon as you exit the park gate, the LEGOLAND Hotel is right in front of you. It’s colorful and adorable, and the dragon statue by the entrance is impressive. It also looks beautiful when lit up at night! The lobby has a large LEGO “pool” play area filled with bricks, plus a gift shop. On the second floor there are immersive play areas—a Western-style castle, a pirate ship, and a ninja castle—so kids get super excited. The buffet restaurant is full of LEGO-built chefs and waiters everywhere, which makes it so fun. There were so many spots that made me want to take photos. The breakfast buffet (included for all guests) has an unbelievable variety—you can’t possibly try everything! They even have ready-to-eat baby food. In addition to standard Western breakfast items, there are Japanese dishes like kishimen noodles and obanzai-style sides—and everything was delicious. There’s also plenty of drinks and desserts. The elevator won’t move unless you tap your room key. Inside, a mirror ball spins while it runs and fun music plays. The hallway has vending machines and a free ice machine (so convenient). Drinks from the vending machines are pricey (a bottle of Coke is ¥300), but there aren’t any convenience stores nearby, so if you want something you’ll need to buy it there. In the room they provide four small bottles of I LOHAS water along with cocoa powder plus coffee, black tea, green tea, etc.—and you can quickly chill hot cocoa using ice from down the hall. Both the hallways and rooms are packed with LEGO theming—it’s fantastic! From the adults’ bedroom window you can see LEGOLAND lit up right in front of you. The kids sleep in a separate room on the other side of the bathroom; it has bunk beds and a puzzle treasure box. My child kept playing with LEGO while watching NINJAGO on TV. The bathroom was unit style but spacious enough—and it dries quickly after use so it doesn’t feel damp. Most staff members seemed quite young, but everyone was very kind—especially to children—and worked energetically with big smiles. It was truly a wonderful hotel. We would love to stay again!

There were a hammock and beanbag cushions, and even our 3-month-old baby had a great time. It was a hot summer day, but the air conditioning worked well, which was a relief. Also, since there was no TV, it was easy to do a digital detox. There were several board games such as The Game of Life. We weren’t sure if we were allowed to use them, so we didn’t touch them, but they could be fun for families. The breakfast pancakes made with mochi wheat were delicious. However, since it’s an attic space, the stairs were steep. It was tough going up while holding our 3-month-old baby.

It was very clean and comfortable. The Facility and amenities were well stocked, so I hardly needed to bring anything except underwear, and I was able to stay for two nights with just a small bag. For a Multiple Night Stay, there is no housekeeping service, but if you leave your used towels outside the door, they will be exchanged for fresh ones, which was convenient because I could go out without packing up my belongings. It’s a bit of a walk from the station, but it was very quiet and I slept well. It would have been even better if there were a convenience store nearby. I will use it again when I visit Nagoya, and I recommend it to anyone traveling to Nagoya.
