Stayed before and was very good. This time would rate as excellent. Arrived early by train but we were greeted in a friendly manner. We left our luggage safely while we went for lunch with our room key, although we were told our room would be ready in 10 minutes. The room was recently refurbished and was very clean with a king size comfy bed and good shower. We had a problem with the lock on our suitcase and Krunal was brilliant in solving our problem. Would not hesitate to stay again in future. Although, they don't do meals, you can eat takeaways etc in the dining areas.

This is perfectly adequate place to stay for the one night, but not beyond that, really. It's about a 30-45 minute walk into Gatwick from there and, even though it is only 1 mile from the airport i want disturbed by the noise of planes etc, it was just the other guests who came in at about 12.45 and decided to have a loud discussion in the dining room, which was next to my bedroom

I arrived really late, but luckily they have an option to manage that. But unfortunately the room had a really bad musty/cheesey feet smell. I also left before reception opened so I was not able to discuss it with anyone. My room was top of the stairs second door on the left. Besides that it was clean.

Excellent time

We used this for one night between Devon and flight to Prague. Brilliant. So clean, tidy and efficient. Everything we needed. Close to town centre for walk, beer or food. So close to brilliant bus service to Gatwick. Just right👍
