Clean and modern hotel - only 1 issue: Because we booked with Expedia, the receptionist embarrassedly informed us, overnight parking was £20 (!) - yet for the customer in the check-in queue before me, parking was £10, as they bought their room on the Hotel's website. - this seemed incredibly unfair. As it happened, we were able to street park for free, a little way down the road.

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!

Very good hotel. Great if you are going into the Pleasure Beach. Great things to enjoy if you have kids, such as a gaming console in the room. Only bad thing is, I would say its a bit dated.

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.

Stayed 2 nights, wasn’t impressed that they charge £20 per night for car parking when it’s there own car park, room was lovely but the bed was rock hard, we both struggled to sleep. Unfortunately it’s the last time we will stay there.
