Outdated

Very much outdated house, creaking floors, stairs and doors, being alone I felt like in a horror movie at first. At least I saw other ladies being by themselves too, that gave me a little bit of comfort. But I heard every single move, people going up or down the stairs, movement in other rooms, people getting up and leaving at 4 am, I did not sleep much. Towels were not provided so I had to get creative lol. Just wanted to spend the night close to the airport before I flew out the next day but I do not recommend.

2 night stay

Hotel is just 5 min drive from Gatwick which was great. Room quite small but fine for just me for a couple of nights stay. Furnishings a bit out dated but clean enough. Bed was comfy. £5 fee to park per day which is reasonable. Would use again

Comfortable night near Airport

Only stayed one night as on an early flight from Gatwick next day. Really good for transport links, arrived by and departed by bus to Gatwick, stop only 30 seconds away from the hotel. Walked into town, a wide selection of food outlets nearby. There seems to be a breakfast room downstairs, but the guy who checked me in didn’t mention anything about breakfast, possibly as I was leaving early. I was in a single room and it didn’t have space for a bedside table, so had to charge my phone at the foot of the bed, no big problem with that, but it was hot and could’ve done with something to put my water bottle on. The room had a fan so temperature wise it was ok, but a little noisy but noise from the road or other rooms was not noticeable.

Perfectly pleasant property – all the staff were lovely and location is great – it was very rundown for the price – peeling wallpaper, threabare carpet and despite double glazing it was very noisy from the main road in the room we had. Should add the property was spotless and the breakfast was fantastic..

I’ve stayed in plenty of the hotels on Massetts road at LGW over the years and there are better alternatives than this one for around the same price.
