My family of 4 spent a night at Legoland New York for $600. The hotel was kid-friendly, but I wouldn't stay overnight again.

To celebrate my son's birthday, my family spent a night at the Legoland New York Resort for $600.
There were decorations and activities everywhere, so it was impossible to be bored at the hotel.

My family of four has been to the Legoland New York theme park for day trips, but we'd never stayed on the property before since it's only a 90-minute drive from my home in New York City.

But we recently spent a night in the adjacent hotel to celebrate my son's 6th birthday.

We stayed from Friday to Saturday — which was about $250 cheaper than staying from Saturday to Sunday — and paid $600 for a package that included the room, parking, and tickets to the theme park.

Here's what our quick visit was like.

Our first impression of Legoland New York's hotel didn't disappoint.

Stepping on Legos was nearly unavoidable, so I had to wear thick shoes.

There were advantages to eating at the hotel's restaurant, Bricks.

But the food seemed overpriced and a bit underwhelming.

The breakfast food also left a lot to be desired.

There's also a bar in the lobby.

The trip was perfect for this occasion, but the prices seemed a bit high.

I wouldn't come back to Legoland New York for an overnight stay, but I'd definitely revisit for a day.Ted Berg

I shopped at Michaels and Hobby Lobby for fall decorations, and I prefer the chain with the darker selection
