overall this is a nice hotel, clean and pleasant staff, the room backed on to the rollercoasters so was quite noisy earlier in the morning and late afternoon. they also let themselves down with their extortionate £20 a night carparking fees even if you have a blue badge!

Happy Customer

Hotel was great and perfect for what we needed as a family of three. The staff where helpfull and polite with excellent customer service. The room was clean and well maintained, and just the right size for us. The hotel is perfectly located, with the Pleasure Beach just round the corner, and a tram station two minutes walk away. The breackfast was good quality and tasted fantastic, the hashbrown bites where a hit with all of us. I would highly recomend this hotel to anyone.

Family Room? Check available Facilities, Check in

I paid Extra for the Family room facility for our 7 Year Old. Once we got to the room there were no accessible childrens channels available on the TV's, though there were 'Adult' channels listed???. Also the Playstation instructions were not clear on the sticker above the machine. We were not told at check in that we needed to Hire games/DVD's at check in. When we obtained a game after complaining, it did not load, at this point we gave up. Our child ended up staying in the big bed with us as he could not fall asleep to the TV, negating the additional cost for the facility. I have stayed at the big blue previously and these Services need seriously updating now. Dissapointed.
