A few nights stay with the family, and can not fault the family room for space. However, a few little issues: Breakfast - £27 per adult per day and a very small offering. Not worth the money Parking - £20 a night unless you book direct and still £10 a night for space they already own. Saturday Night - Late night rides until 9:30pm are room had a very towards the park which my 2 duaghters under 3 enjoyed, but not the noise when trying to get them to sleep. Would of been nice when checking in to be informed of this. Bar - The bar area is way to small for the venue and the amount ot people staying.

Overpriced and overhyped. For the price you pay, even for the cheapest room, its actually quite a rip -off. Way too many corners have been cut, There was only one plug socket in the room, so if you have more than one thing that needs charged, you're out of luck. The single beds are so narrow that unless you sleep completely still, you will end up rolling out at some point, makes for a very uncomfortable sleep, especially for larger guests or ones who move in their sleep. The breakfast was mediocre for the cost, you can easily find a better quality breakfast anywhere in blackpool, for half the price... and because its buffet style, the breakfast hall is madness with kids running riot everywhere, coughing on the food and touching it with their hands, I witnessed this several times in a very short time frame, very unhygienic. To top it all off an angry drunk wandered into the hotel started kicking doors, shouting and screaming and subsequently setting off the fire alarm, which contuinued to sound intermittently for 2 and a half hours... at 2am... the security done nothing apart from aggravate the situation and made it continue far longer than it needed to. And last but not least, despite being told we did not need the room cleaned, the cleaner harrased us every 10 mins from 9am. Very disappointing

Fantastic location for our out of season family holiday. We stayed three nights with a 3 year old. The team did everything to entertain our 3 year old and keep us tired parents happy. The VIP Pleasure Beach entry and exit was a godsend for tired toddler legs and with the team so close we were able to enjoy trips into the tower and piers with ease.

On arrival I had to pay £18 pounds a night parking fee totally unacceptable I travel all over the country and very rarely do I have to pay for parking on site, my visit on this occasion was to visit family so I invited them for breakfast one morning only to be told that because the 2 year old was not staying at the hotel I would have to pay £9 50 for him to have breakfast I found this totally unacceptable what 2 year old could eat £9 50 worth of food

Check in was easy and girls were very friendly. Room was very spacious, with a massive bed. Very clean. Nice meal in Restaurant, most tasty beef, i have ever tasted. Quite noisy in corridors, night and morning. difficult to get children to sleep. Maybe some notices up would be an idea. Or staff regularly walking through. Otherwise a wonderful stay
