Could be so much better!
Great themed rooms, nice quality rooms, very comfortable. The food at the evening buffet and the breakfast buffet needs to be a lot better. The choice is good, but the quality is very poor, lukewarm, low-quality products all around. Not good - the evening buffet was very overpriced. The service in the restaurant was terrible - and it's self-service! No good welcome as we went in, our table was cleared of everything on it - drinks, sides, personal items - whilst we were at the buffet - all we got was a shrugged apology. Hour-long slots are daft at the pool - there was no one in there with us, but we weren't allowed to stay any longer. Officious staff on the pool reception. The overall takeaway was with better service and better quality food - the stay would have been amazing. The hotel itself is so fun in its decor and the attention to detail that has gone into it. But staff need better training. Food needs huge improvement.

Disappointed
The hotel is looking tired, the very heavy bathroom panel fell on me, the kettle in our exchanged room didnt work, to watn my grandsons bottle was a task under the hot bathroom tap! we had to pay entry to the park. Our view was of the park yet we only saw birds and the pool which Hotels.com website didnt state, the Chessington site states its all included.
