Historic Gateway to Gatwick
The Sussex market town of Crawley is just south of Gatwick Airport, London’s 2nd busiest passenger terminal after Heathrow.
Its train station has direct connections to Gatwick, as well as to Victoria Station in London to the north, and Brighton to the south. Set roughly midway between the 2 cities, the town has long been an important stopping place. One of its 17th-century coaching inns, the George Hotel, still exists under the name of the Ramada Crawley Gatwick and is available on Booking.com.
However, the town’s history dates back much further than that. Records show it as being a market town as early as the 13th century, and its central Goffs Park has a museum containing some Stone Age remains found here.
Tilgate Park to the south has a lake, nature reserve and one of Crawley’s 3 golf courses. The town’s other leisure activities include bowling, a movie theater and a collection of restaurants and pubs. The shopping street is a mix of historic buildings and modern shops, and more stores are found at Crawley County Mall.
Practically all of the Crawley hotels, guesthouses and country houses provide parking and a few also have features such as swimming pools and gyms.

Great budget hotel;
Great budget hotel; pool was not open considering the weather however it was very well maintained and kept. Bar area was quite small but enough for this type of venue and the food was very good; although I only utilized the restaurant for breakfast. Reception staff and other members of staff were very nice, polite and friendly.

I stayed here because it was cheaper than staying in Brighton or the coast over the bank holiday and is only about 20 miles away also visited the wings and Gatwick aviation museums close to the hotel, I did not see much of Crawley so can,t comment what it,s like.

Premier Inn London Gatwick Airport - North Terminal: The self service check-in machines made it extremely easy so you paid for your room then and there and got room keys made for the number of occupants in the room. The Premier Inn is located right across the street from Gatwick Airport about 10 metres or so. There is a cross walk and you can go up the elevator or escalator for the check-in desk. Premier Inn is great value for money cheaper than the other hotels on-site.

The hotel I stayed in was the Premier Inn, North Terminal - it was an overnight stay for my flight.
Crawley itself is really uncharacteristic - the shopping mall is fine and has everything you need and also the park just outside it - there is also Tilgate park which is excellent but the town centre has deteriorated over the past 20 years. It's a good place to find work as there is plenty if you are willing to work.

I was only at the airport to the hotel, arrived in the evening, too tired to go into town. I had an early bus to catch, so have no opinion of Crawley. It is very convenient to Gatwick, if you have an early flight or a bus to catch. National Express has buses leaving Gatwick very frequently. I really like travelling on National Express, they have buses going all over the UK.

You must take a cab from Gatwick (14£) to arrive at this property. It is a sprawling farmhouse conversion with immacuate grounds, a helpful staff, and good food.
We were there for just 14 hours (lay-over), so we didn't get to enjoy or explore the surroundings.
A return cab to Gatwick was 12£ and they require cash.
“The honesty and helpfulness of the staff. I left a significant amount of jewellery in my room and two weeks later, after my holiday, I realised then rang the hotel who had my jewellery safely stored in it's safe. I organised a courier to collect the jewellery which was safely returned to me. Can not tell you how grateful I was that this hotel has honest, trustworthy, helpful staff. Well done HI Express Gatwick!”
“The morning of check out my partner and I overslept (we were in Crawley for a wedding, so feeling a little rough) reception called our room and instead of the usual 'you need to leave your room' call that I'v had in previous hotels, the receptionist was very polite and helpful and asked what time we will be vacating so she can make sure that housekeeping didn't disturb us. A very nice touch.”
