Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice, clean, and well-equipped but too hot, with disruptive noise at night. Service was outstanding, going above and beyond with helpful, friendly staff. The location was excellent for Gatwick Airport, close to amenities. Dining was basic, with limited offerings. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is conveniently close to Gatwick Airport with the bonus of affordable car parking, but the rooms had a slight musky aroma and were unexpectedly set up with bunk beds. The service lacked enthusiasm and product knowledge, although some staff were helpful. The location is superb for airport access and offers a great atmosphere, but some areas felt uncomfortably warm. The dining options were a bit overpriced and lacking in quality, with limited choices. The facilities were average overall.
The hotel had good amenities in the rooms, but they didn't feel as clean as they could have been. Despite informing the staff about the air conditioning not working, the room was stuffy and smelled damp, with water dripping inside. The location was not great, and dining options were below par, although the facilities were decent.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms. While the comfort level is high, the rooms tend to be too hot even when the air conditioning is turned on. On the positive side, the WiFi is now reliable, and the AC functions well. However, the policy of charging for parking feels unfair.
The hotel rooms were very spacious and comfortable, in a good location, but unfortunately, some were taken out of service. The service was pleasant and efficient, though room service was not available as there wasn't enough staff. The location is excellent for flights in and out of Gatwick Airport, near the airport, and the staff were nice. The dining options were a bit limited and could have been fresher, but the food was reasonably priced.
