Are you suggesting that Alton should lower their prices or Phantasialand should raise theirs ?
I don't understand this discussion at all. It's like you're all just discovering how capitalism works. If you rub two sticks together, you'll get fire, btw.
How is that reflected in the occupancy rate ? They're an absolute zoo every time I stay.I think you're totally missing the wider point.
There is a significant issue with regards to the price-performance ratio of the hotels.

You might be right, but I don't see any evidence of that - either people are returning, or they aren't and there is a stack of other families waiting in the wings to come for the first time.It's reflected in the Tripadvisor scores. I would also expect the amount of repeat visits is down.
Are you saying that because they're busy, service vs price point is literally irrelevant?You might be right, but I don't see any evidence of that - either people are returning, or they aren't and there is a stack of other families waiting in the wings to come for the first time.
Or, more likely - a hybrid of the two.
I would have thought that that demographic would be the most likely to complain about a bad hotel as they would be used to far better standards elsewhere.I would say a lot of visits made to the hotels are done by :
A) the very wealthy who donât really care how bad it is
I think it depends on the demographics of the group. If you're having a coupley weekend I think you're probably more prone to kick off than if you've taken your kids who are blind to a lot of things outlined in this thread and have a great time - that rubs off on parents hugely.I would have thought that that demographic would be the most likely to complain about a bad hotel as they would be used to far better standards elsewhere.
Er...but Britannia are making an absolute packet out of third rate hotel experiences though.
Ever increasing sales and good profits...all from a very crap experience in an ancient Victorian hotel with dodgy facilities.
Merlin have realised they can fill their hotels with a third rate experience...why shrink the profit margins with something better, there will be a new generation of mugs around in a decade.
Britannia often charge five times that...to the unknowing and those with short notice/business bookings.
Its extraordinary combination of splendiferous accommodation, quirky class and fantabulous eccentricity guarantees rocket-loads of giggles and glee for the whole family!
The hotel features the delightments of our bewitching Secret Garden Restaurant and our super-special Dragons Bar and Atrium.
