...how light and cool it was, the window having been left slightly a jar, which was much needed after a long sweaty car journey and dragging two suitcases through Gatwick airport. Our room had a open wardrobe as you entered with our bathroom on the right hand side. There was a dresser, and chest of drawers, a TV with limited Sky TV and the obligatory pay per view facilities, one armchair and a double bed with 2 bedside tables. I was quite surprised at the inclusion of a hair dryer in the room, something that is usually omitted from budget hotels. Our bed was dressed with 2 pillows, a duvet with white covers and a 'Premier Travel Inn' purple runner across the bottom of the bed, I was quite surprised at the softness of the duvet cover and pillowcases, normally they can be quite rough, but these were lovely and soft and smelt wonderful...

...I stayed at the holiday Inn Gatwick with my family before and after flying out to the caribbean. It was clean and friendly and even the kids enjoyed it. The rooms were quite spacious with tea and coffe facilities. I even called reception as there was only one hot chocolate between the 2 children, and they were at our room within minutes with more sachets and packets of biscuits. We ate an evening meal there too and it wasn't too badly priced! We got up early the next morning and had a swim before catching our longhaul flight, which used up a bit of energy so the kids weren't too restless on the plane. All in all we loved it and would definitely stay again.... Read review

I didn't fancy spending all night travelling from Suffolk to Gatwick in time for the check in at 4.00am, so we decided to book a hotel close to the airport and travel down the night before. Well, I surfed the net and discovered the Gatwick Hilton for £139 for a double room. It sounded a lot but this also included 15 days parking, which would have cost around £70-80 on its own, and we didn't require breakfast that early in the morning. So, £139 for the room and parking seemed like a small price... Read review
