Disappointed and won’t return
Pros:

Been many times and always been great

Cons:

We were placed in a family room and from 5:06am the room above had kids banging and jumping off the bed , we complained to reception around 6;50am but the more we complained the loader they got.
Nothing was done and we were offered car parking back as compensation. Will go back to boulevard next time as they are much better rooms and put you were they think appropriate

Everything was excellent especially the breakfast staff were amazing especially Stuart on reception very welcoming top guy

When your paying nearly £200 for 1 night and then have to pay an extra £20 to park in the car park is not right

Great for the location and lovely staff
Pros:

Staff were really friendly and also gave us an upgrade. Everything was nice and clean. Great location for the Pleasure Beach.

Cons:

Slightly dated interiors and our shower screen leaked from the side. We had food from the bar menu and it was very disappointing: overpriced and was clearly just microwaved, it had with no flavour.

Pros:

The room view was lovely looking onto the fair for my kids just what we asked for :)

Cons:

The mattress on the bed was absolutely horrible i had no sleep at all due to the mattress been hard i had pain in my hips all night 😫 the bed was very uncomfortable it was 2 single beds pushed together:( & the breakfast was lovely plenty to choose from the only issue the drinks machine and toaster need moving away from each other as there was alot off confusion waiting for each machine. We did have to tell these old people behind us to stop swearing as I had my children with me and the language wasn't very pleasant 😕
