Alton Towers Resort Hotel - Dancing with the Stars. Faye and Mandy on the red carpet with a banner behind.  Faye is wearing an orange dress and Mandy is wearing a red dress, both are smiling  I have never been to Alton Towers. I could take or leave theme parks. But when my mum heard about the Strictly Dance weekend (a show she loves), we had to book! It’s not near a train station, so we drove. It was down narrow, country lanes and surrounded by farmland. Upon arriving, we asked where the disabled parking was and were told, 'now, that is the question!' We found it and went in. The entrance has no steps, but is a bit bumpy, so manual wheelchair users be aware. As the hotel faces north and south, it is naturally quite dark, with dim, artificial lighting, so not great for visually impaired people. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. One man saw the cane and began directing me. The room wasn’t huge. It had a double and single bed, a desk, chair, drawers, tv, and bin all crammed in.
