Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and had a recently refurbished bathroom with a TV, hot drinks making facility, and a 4 Poster Bed. The tea and coffee facilities were good, but the price for the room was a bit high. The service was satisfactory with one staff member managing everything. The location was convenient as it was near Gatwick Airport and there were nice dining options nearby. The dining experience was average with a few burnt toast slices offered, but the croissants were tasty. The facilities were decent, and overall, it was a decent stay.
The hotel is conveniently located near a pub with good food and only a roadside pub was open on Saturday evening. The rooms have good tea and coffee facilities and a recently refurbished bathroom, but there is only a shared bathroom option. The dining offered 2 slices of burnt toast. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.
The hotel provides a mix of traditional and modern rooms, with a four-poster bed available if desired. The tea and coffee facilities were a nice touch, but sharing a bathroom may not be for everyone. The price seemed reasonable, but it could vary depending on the room type chosen.
