Anyone been recently, thinking off staying over in the Alton Towers Hotel and then into the theme park for the day.
Good/bad idea???

Rip off. Simple as.
It'd probably be cheaper to come home for the night and travel back the next day.
The only 'bonus' of staying in the hotel is you get to go into the park an hour earlier than the public.

It's a glorified B&B.

I wouldnt go for the Splash landings hotel - its more geared towards familys and kids - although the water park itsself is good fun
the spa in the other hotel is nice is you wanna treat your girlfriend
Dont ever be lured by the out of season deals where they open the park for hotel guests - when we went they opened 2 rides - one of which was Hex and it broke down when we were on it! waste of time and money!

to be fair £285 for a night at the hotel + theme park is a rip off.
the splash landings water park is great fun though.
i'd not pay for it again

Big group of us are most prob doing this for the end of Oct as they have late opening fireworks etc. Theres loads of nice B&B's nearby, I'd go for one of them. Were hiring out a whole one but rates are much better and affordable.
