I've been to the theme park before which is great but stayed at the hotel (2 nights) for the first time and had mixed feelings. There were a lot of pros such as the pool; decor; customer service; cleanliness; views from restaurant and lovely large playground just outside. However the breakfast and (buffet) dinner we had were awful, the worst I've had. The hotel entertainment for our young children (2 and 4) was also very disappointing. We've stayed the Alton Towers resorts during the same season (Halloween) and they were sooo much better (with both food and entertainment) for not much more money. It's quite unfortunate because the park has more for toddlers than Alton. We will stick to day trips in the future.
