Had another nice stay last week taking daughter and grandchildren to Alton Towers, which is about 20 miles away. Booked 2 rooms using points and managed to book a suite for 40000 points and one standard room. Although the hotel is 2 years old, rooms are still like new. King suite with sofa bed was one of the end rooms with large balcony which got well used for after dinner drinks in the beautiful evening sunshine. Children enjoyed the swimming pool and children under 10 eat free in the restaurant. All six of us were granted access to the Executive Lounge where we had some nice starters before dinner in the restaurant. Wine, spirits and beers available in the lounge. Again both rooms (4 adults and 2 children) given full complimentary breakfast. Very pleasant staff all round and great service, especially for an Award stay. As discussed above, the Hampton rooms have now been incorporated in the Hilton hotel as compact rooms. No mention of Hampton once you get inside the large hotel reception area, but the Hampton signs are still at the main road entrance to the very long driveway down to the hotel. Hotel was quite full, with a Dutch youth football team making good use of the training facilities at St Georges Park.
