There's good reason people are against Alton Towers new pods. Looking at it purely in comparison to what Premier Inn are planning -
Premier Inn:
- Designed by PriestmanGoode
- twin beds that can be pushed together to create a double
- a bathroom with power shower
- free wifi
- a TV
- power sockets
- air conditioning
From £19 a night
Alton Towers:
- Bare Pinewood "minimalistic theming"
- fixed twin beds & small double taking up most floorspace
- free wifi
- power sockets
- convection heater
- Shared bathroom facilities a short walk away in "pod camp"
- Breakfast bap
(Currently free mini golf offer)
From £88 a night off peak
Purely on value for money, Premier Inn's luxury pods wipes the floor over Alton Towers pods.
