Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had clean and spacious rooms with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay, however, the price was considered a bit high. The service was friendly and accommodating, making the overall experience pleasant. The location was convenient, close to Alton Towers, but the lack of dining options on-site was a downside.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with friendly staff and great proximity to Alton Towers. The homemade pastry in the dining area is a delightful treat, but the facilities could use some updating.
The hotel is conveniently located close to Alton Towers, making it a perfect choice for visitors who want easy access to the park. The rooms are basic but have all the necessary facilities for a comfortable stay. The service is efficient, and the reception staff are helpful. The location is fantastic for Alton Towers enthusiasts, but the attached restaurant could use some improvement in variety. Overall, a decent option for those looking for convenience to the theme park.
