Breakfast was free and the options were great. Eggs, sausage, coffee, bagels, juices, yogurt etc. The hotel is in a very quiet location and perfect for our staycation to celebrate our anniversary.

Grand Pacific Palisades
3.5 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (999)
"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...

"This villa was in excellent shape. All amenities were included as advertised. I would definitely stay here again. The instructions for checking in were a bit confusing. I did not realize that I needed to register at the Omni Resort proper. However, manager, Kay Kinaya quickly responded to my plight and stayed with me on the phone until I found my way. She deserves kudos for outstanding customer service. A great experience overall."
