Wow, it really does just look like piles of shipping containers! I really dont understand why they didnt clad the outside, even put a bit of a roof on it. Then no one would ever notice they are shipping containers!

It gets worse!
All you detractors complaining about having no window, you're wrong. The window can clearly be seen in these images:
All I can think of is "Prisoner Cell Block H"!
They are so awful it's almost not funny anymore. I genuinely can't believe they haven't done anything to the outside to disguise that they are shipping containers but also to try and encourage people to stay. Especially for the price they are charging.
Only Thorpe.

Oh dear...
It's not even like they've painted it to blend in some way (unless this is planned). Words fail me. For the price this looks very dire.
But saying that, they must believe their target market will like this otherwise the money would have not been spent into it.
For me though, I think I'll pass.

Well, at least the prices reflect the offering as value accommodation.
...Right? :-[

The Crash Pad looks terrible, and I can't see many people wanting to stay in them! They look cramped and certainly unaesthetically pleasing!
I can't believe that these are rated as 4 star either when I wouldn't give them 2!

I remember when there were topics created on these forums JOKING about the day Merlin would build a shipping container hotel...
Never did we actually think it would become a reality.

I was going to say that the one upside of these 'Snoozeboxes' would be that you would get a nice view of the lake if staying in on the side facing outwards...but judging by the size of those windows you won't even get that.
Literally, the only benefit of these is that you will be on-site. That's it.
