    The property is very tired looking and elements such as the disabled parking bays are absolutely useless for wheelchair users as they are just standard bays. There are no suitable tables at all for wheelchair users in the bar area which is frustrating. They did make an exception for us and allow us to take some bar food upstairs to the restaurant which helped a bit but the having to go downstairs to order that food and all of the drinks and then go back upstairs felt like a total faff. My biggest issue is the fact that the tv in our room did not work and maintenance do not work on weekends. We were told if we wanted a working tv then we would have to move rooms which was not convenient for us. For something so small it felt like it should have been easily sorted but instead the hotel policy has left us disappointed and frustrated.

    The reception staff and the bar staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. They were very quick in answering my questions prior to our stay which was really appreciated.

    The property is very poorly decorated. It looks and appears very tired- in need of an urgent upgrade. Rooms are poorly furnished and wardrobe was broken. No free Wi-Fi in room only in communal area.

    Close proximity to Gatwick. Parking. Breakfast was good.

    Restaurant awful school like dinner setup. Staff in the morning not great. Whole place is ok decor wise. Budget type. Room basic and dated. Bed not comfortable. Main road very loud if in the lodge.

    It was fairly clean and for the price I paid for 1 night is was just about acceptable.

    Some of the decor in the public areas was a bit faded but it wasn't dirty just a bit tired.

    Fantastic welcoming and helpful staff. Really nice people. It is not a luxury hotel but the accommodation was clean and comfortable and the evening meal was OK and good value at £12:50 for 3 courses.

    The car park is terrible, most of it is just rough ground full of pot holes, so lots of puddles and very muddy, so when you are trying to unload car , you really don’t want to put any cases/bags down , and can’t wheel your suitcase. There were ants in our room . It was so late, we just needed to sleep, but did tell them when we checked out. However as it was an early checkout, there was only the night porter, who wasn’t interested. He just said “ok”.

    Location for airport is good and easy to find. Check in staff were great.

    We were in what they call the lodge. And I've stayed there 3 times now and every single time the corridors of the lodge absolutely smell of weed or marijuana.

    It's very pleasant talking to reception staff whom are very helpful, the bar area is populated by workmen that stay out all week and use the place as temporary digs... menu very Good for pub grub.

    No one have told me the hotel charge for wi-fi. Anyway, upon arriving I have been told there is a free wi-fi in the lobby BUT IT DID NOT WORK!!! being a tourist with no UK contract I tried to connect to the paid option. I could not either!!! so I was stuck without important communication facilities. I then went to the room and it was cold! I noticed the radiator needs bleeding and told the receptionist about it. She said there is nothing she could do until Monday.... (I left on Sunday...). I wanted to terminate my booking but because there was no Internet I could not search for another hotel so I stayed reluctantly (The weather was too cold to start and chase another hotel). Also the pressure of the tap in the sink was such that if you were not careful it splashed all over... All in all I was very dissappointed since it was more expensive than a basic Travelodge that give better facilities. If there is justice I should get my money back!!!

    Close to my son's house
