Plot
Dracula is hoping his half human, half monster grandson inherits his vampire genes.

Verdict
I don't have the benefit of having seen the first one. This one isn't bad. It has it's funny moments, but it relies on common monster tropes and gags. It's not bad, but it isn't trying to do anything original, and the ending is easy to predict. It's a movie that doesn't ask much, but will keep you entertained.
It depends.

Review
This movie takes queues from Meet the Parents. There is a monster-human pair up and concern over how humans and monsters alike will react.
Dracula is a cool parent so he's okay with it. His concern is whether his grandson will inherit his vampire genes. The parents are considering moving to California to raise the child around humans since they think he has no powers as he doesn't have fangs yet.

Adam Sandler as Count Dracula in Hotel Transylvania 2
Hotel Transylvania 2 -It's good enough.

Dracula talks the parents into letting him babysit while they check out California. Dracula's plan is to  force the vampire genes to show on a wild romp with his grandson and monster buddies.
It takes full advantage of monster stereotype, which isn't a bad thing.  You can guess how it will end from the beginning, but it does have some funny parts. Kids will like it, but there are better animated movies out there.
