    It was cheap for airport, friendly staff but exactly what you expect for cheap airport stay!

    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The rooms are large and spacious but I didn't feel they were very clean ... didn't want to sit on any furniture or put bags on the floor. The bathroom looked recently renovated (but not the floor tiles! Still stained and dirty from years of use!) so was clean but towels were just two small hand towel size (two adults staying and the room had two large double beds). Also, no surfaces to place any of your toiletries in the bathroom. The view was ... interesting ... of broken car park, containers and rubbish and random bits of old furniture. This also says it's a car park for Gatwick you can pay to leave your car yet, there was very little parking available and I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving vehicle here. THE POT HOLES! I read the reviews but it was worse than I imagined!! Staff explained that they don't own the access road but my goodness, it was horrific!! The hotel has no curb appeal, you approach from the rear and it looked derelict, sadly all I could see was what looked like someone who lived there with their window propped open with a shoe and a rubbish bag clearly fallen out of that window with their telly on blasting a show out the open window and an ironing board set up in plain view - you have to walk past this to get to reception! In reception, I could see through to communal area and all I could see was a pair of bare feet propped up on the coffee table!

    This is what it says on the tin ... a cheap place to stay if you have to get to Gatwick for an early flight! I didn't expect much and wasn't disappointed. However, the greeting at reception and the help provided was excellent - lovely welcome. Recommended where we could get a dinner and that was helpful. The room was large and spacious and had everything you need for a stay - desk, television, wardrobe, etc.

    Lovely member of staff (so sorry i didn't take a note of the name). We arrived late, very tired and hungry. The receptionist was very efficient and quick in sorting out the room. He also ordered food and dring for us via app i did not know how to use. Thank you so much, your kindness made our stay!!!!!!

    unqualified cleaning staff. this is where you should make an improvement.

    The room and the shower are very spacious, quite comfortable. and it is very close to the airport, although the road to the hotel is disastrous.

    It seems like it's handy to Gatwick airport but unless you have your own car it's not easy to get to/from Gatwick. An uber from the airport was £30 and a taxi from the hotel back to Gatwick was £28. So whilst the hotel was cheap it wasn't convenient. The hotel is very remote and a bit spooky. The bed was really uncomforable, shower pressure was bad and the fire alarm in our room went off twice at 3am.

    Staff were really friendly and helpful and the room was very large (think we had a disabiliy-friendly room so everything was very spacious)

    The shower cubicle was not draining well, and i had to have a wash instead of a shower, and the bathroom would do with deep cleaning.

    It was convenient for us as we wanted a place to sleep after a day with family.

    It wasn't the cleanest, there were bugs over the beds. (Not bed bugs, maybe due to being near fields)

    The property is close to Gatwick airport and very cheap in comparison to near by airports. Reception staff were helpful and knew we were coming late and leaving very early and were happy to accommodate this.

    The first room we were given smelled of damp and mould. When I looked up I saw why. The ceiling has obviously been leaking and there was damp all over the ceiling and water stains and damp must on the sofa underneath. The walls are super think and could hear a crying baby all night like it was next to me. The second room we were given was cleaner but the bed side lamps had sawn off and removed and there were loose wires covered in duct tape exposed around the headboard. The shower seal was black and mouldy and the tap on the sink was so stiff it was difficult to use. The road leading the hotel is pot hole hell. No more than 4mph or you’ll damage your car. The hotel knows this is a problem though and even has a sign up in reception for pot hole damage claims.

    Friendly staff and no issues sorting out our issues.

    The pot holes to the property have buggered up suspension as they are deep and full of water. I suspect it has damaged the suspension mount or arm. I will have to have this looked at. The carpet in the hotel look dated and thin in places. In the room the walls were painted white, however they were grubby...and their were bare feet dirty marks on the walls in the room. The bed under the window had silver fish on it in abundance, indicating long term dampness and the room felt cold and damp. The windows, were disgusting and covered in algae and mould so couldn't see out of them, and they let a breeze in. We paid for the breakfast, which as stated would be a cold breakfast, but... the Apples in the fruit bowl were frozen and must if been taken out the freezer 10 mins before we got in there. There was no one in the dining room, but there were no croissants as advertised or yoghurt. The bread was cheap 1/4 thick slices, with marg portion and strawberry jam as a choice. The cupboards and side board doors were hanging off. So all we had was a portion of cereals, and a glass of value orange juice. Definetly not worth the price we all paid for this...we could of bought milk and cereals with us for 99% less price and kept in the room fridge. The bed would of been better off without mattresses as they were probably well over 20 years old and all you could feel was the bed frame and the springs!!

    There was a bed linen looked clean , the microwave, hairdryer, iron, ironing board, fan, fridge, towels, hotel shower gel and a small selection of hot drinks available in the room. Room was spacious and lighting was adequate. The bathroom was clean.

    Didn't meet my expectations for a restful one night stay before long haul flight from Gatwick

    Lane leading to the hotel was full of huge potholes and partially flooded. There was no restaurant which meant we had to risk driving down the lane more than I would have liked. I was worried about getting stranded and missing our early morning flight at Gatwick which was the purpose of our stay so didn't sleep well. Think I got off lightly with just a puncture that I had to get repaired when we got home. There was a notice in the reception for how to claim for any damages from the local council which suggests its not the hotels responsibility, but still... Room itself was clean but some of the floorboards under the carpet were loose. The bathroom door got jammed and I was trapped in there for a few minutes which caused a slight panic. Never again.

    the single member of staff we saw was pleasant and helpful

    Had a problem with a blocked shower, could not get any assistance in reception at 21.00. The member of staff looked tired and could not be bothered at the check- in desk.

    Reasonable price.
