Alton Towers Hotel 50% off!

Options
Hi guys, I have found a great discount for the Alton Towers hotels, you can save a massive 50% off rack room rates!
Code: TIMES12
I found it in the times newspaper and have successfully used it for myself, friends and family. I don't think there is any restrictions however check for your own dates, online or via telephone.

    Sounds good! Do you have any details on the restrictions of the code? Also, do you need the actual cutout from the paper when you visit?

    Thanks.

    FANTASTIC!! Got dates in the summer holidays too, was not wanting to pay £234 a night but at £117 it is not much more than the other hotels and B&B's for a family of 4 for the night and convenient parking, early hours as well. Just checking which hotel we prefer, the Alton Towers hotel costs £5 more than Splash Landings.

    Oh, and 35% off Holiday Inns here: http://www.greenroom.co.uk/alumni

    Think we might stay a night en-route at Stoke instead of leaving home at 5am to get to AT.
  • Hi do you have to have any paper work or vouchers from the paper with you when you check in at the hotel? Thank you

    The details of the offer is here: http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/public/article1014680.ece

    I am going to say that I was going to book the 2 rooms but gave the tickets to a friend who could not afford to stay the night. What's the worst that can happen..... they chuck us out??
  • Oh wow! Thank you so much! I was literally on the verge of booking full price!:beer:

    Hi,
    just to say thanks again. Had 2 nights at splash landings, Tuesday and Wednesday just gone, code worked fine, and no mention of paperwork at desk. We had a great time, and wud return, but not at full price obviously!, LOL.
  • Hi just looking at this forum I'm looking to take my two children and put in the times 12 code which does work just worried about not having documents to prove can anyone advise what's the worst they can do?

    The worst? They refuse to let you stay. So get in the car and find somewhere else, there are plenty of travelodges within 20 miles.

    Or ask you to pay the full amount.

    It was an ad in the paper telling you that you could book with the code. You could book up to 2 rooms but only got 2 free tickets so do the maths..... I am just going to say my friends had the tickets as we are passholders, but we decided to stay overnight and use the code and they did not.

    They have already charged my card so there will be nothing to pay on the day anyway......

    Don't worry about it, I have stayed over a week ago, for 2 nights using the code with no problems. Enjoy!
