Nice location adjacent to a very nice restaurant / pub. The staff were very pleasant and helpful going out of their way to assist. We have used the location a number of times now and keep returning so it must be okay !. …

My flight back to Gatwick was so severely delayed that I booked in here very last-minute as I was too tired to drive home. I checked in at 1am and left the next morning. It was perfect. Very clean and comfy, and ample easy parking. …

This hotel was a great disappointment. From the 4.2 rating it has on google, I expected a pretty standard Premier Inn. However, upon checking into our room, it smelled absolutely awful. It was the mustiest room we've ever stayed in and the dampness of the room began bothering both of our noses within 5 minutes of being in the room. The smell never dissipated, and the day bed in the room had visible mold on the cover. We thought about asking for another room, but all the hallways smelled as bad as our hotel room did. In addition, the pub attached to the hotel closes pretty early for a pub and unfortunately stops selling food an hour before they close. I understand why, but for two people without a car and there being no other food within walking distance, it was rough. The public bus to get to the airport is fine, but I had hoped there might be a free shuttle considering how close it is by driving. This hotel is not easy to get to by public transit because of the timing of the busses. Because of all this, we decided not to stay at the hotel for the night we booked. However, the person we interacted with at the front desk was exceedingly kind.

This hotel is very close to Gatwick south long stay car park. There is no phone signal within the hotel and the restaurant next door barely has any signal outside its doors. As it is close to the airport bring earplugs for a better nights sleep. On the day price was £61 not bad at all. Very comfortable bed.

The rooms and staff were the usual standard Premier Inn which is usually good. The 2 star overall review was down to the fact that when we stayed, we were given just 1 fan to cool the room plus the smallest of small window openings! The thermometer in the room read between 28 - 29.5C during the night, which is dangerously hot and offered us no chance of having a decent sleep! Our daughter slept in the bath for a few hours as it was the coolest place she could find!!! Premier Inn have been contacted but without reply!!! Not good enough by a long way!!!!

It is one of the best Premier property , quite place and has nice Restaurant and Pub near by. Only negative point is , very difficult to telephone coverage as well as there was no WiFi in the hotel. Neither while check in hotel staff didn't mention that WiFi not working . Only when enquired they inform. It is not good practice.

I stay here frequently. Some rooms are better than others but for me it’s the staff here that make this hotel. It doesn’t feel like a chain, more like an independent hotel as the staff here really care and go out of their way for you. They are why I keep returning.

I am a frequent user of Premier Inn and with a dawn flight from Gatwick this seemed an ideal, if pricey solution.||I arrived at around 8.45pm and checked in easily, the friendly receptionist even chatting to me about how cold it was. …
