    Tim, I've been watching episodes of the Hotel Inspector with Alex Polizzi, it would be a cool series to visit the hotels she's helped to see if they're still up to par or even still open.

    It actually looks like a cabin on an offshore oil and gas platform in the North Sea albeit more brightly painted, where I would spend two weeks every month on a two week on two week off rotation. We usually have bunk beds (bottom for day shift, top bunk for night shift).

  • @matthewb604
    @matthewb604 Před rokem +12

    Stayed here a few times, it's basic, but after a long day at the park you only really need a place to sleep. For dinner we actually walked to The Red Lion in Thorpe village for a really good meal. Rather than pay theme park prices for food inside the dome

    Cruise ship cabins are constructed inside what are essentially shipping container type units and slid in to place on the ship. The little room has old cruise / ferry vibes

    If you're there after the vibes bar and kitchen closes, you can always uber some food to the park. I stayed there not long after it re opened during covid, and they actually recommend it to you. Every time I've stayed there since I've ordered out. It's cheaper, and the options are so much better. McDonald's, kfc, small independent places as long as you put in the parks address they'll deliver.

  • @EpicATrain

    Hotel looks amazing such a cosy room and fantastic they got AC cos most hotels they don't and thats ridiculous during summer. I would stay there for sure hygiene looked great. Ummm but only thing is for one night 1 person £159 for me is a little on the pricey side but I mean thorpe park is lovely even when it's empty still looked cool. Also yeah if the music was playing in an empty theme park like that then I would have found it creepy lol.

The staff were friendly and showed us in and asked us where we want to sit, oh and the coffee was very good had a cappuccino and a latte. For our experience I have to give it 4 out of 5. It was much better than I was expecting.😊
