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.
