Struggling to find anything to fault about this hotel but if we were being picky maybe the long walk from our hotel room to reception with no rear entry or exit

Pros:

Fantastic first stay at the Big Blue Hotel. Loved every minute. Was given a free upgrade and had an amazing theme park view room, could watch and listen to the Big One, Big Dipper, Icon, Steeplechase and the Pleasure Beach Express all day long. Room was super clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Pros:

We enjoyed our stay very much ,we were upgraded free of charge to a deluxe room, which was excellent. The staff were all very pleasant

Cons:

The only thing that spoilt it , and I'm nit picking was some children , touching things at the breakfast buffet n putting them back , the parents didn't seem to care , not acceptable really but that wasn't the hotels fault. We will definitely be going back .
