Moto - My stop of choice on a long car journey

Advantages: Well thought out facilities for familes/babies.
Disadvantages: Prices. Some locations aren't as clean or well stocked as others.

...stopped at a services (not Moto - Roadchef I think) and found the facilities to be very limited. However on my second journey I stopped at a Moto and I have to say from now on I will aim to stop at Moto services above all others. I was so impressed with the family/baby facilities. All motos should provide free baby food, nappies and baby wipes, steribottles, bibs, bowls, spoons, use of microwave and bottle warmer. Now obviously not everything is ...
...facilities but to be honest Moto is different from the others who just provide a pull down baby change in a disabled toilet and the odd highchair. Obviously Moto as a company put a lot of thought into the facilities but it remains the job of the staff to make sure they are kept clean and well stocked. Sometimes they have run out of wipes, bowls, etc but if you ask they replenish them. However, I have never had cause to complain about the cleanliness ...

Addison Lee doesn't make good on mistakes

Advantages: Online and mobile booking available, good if you don't care about the car that arrives
Disadvantages: Does not honour specific car booking types, refuses to address complaints

When things go smoothly, they are actually a really good company. I've probably used them for 3.5 years almost without problems. But on a recent trip they sent me the wrong car type - it was a special occasion and I ordered a premium car. The mistake itself would have been fine - apologise to the customer and make it good. But instead they launched into a tirade of justifications and even went so far to tell me that they make their money from corporate ...

Little Chef .....do they actually have a Chef?

Advantages: ermmmmm... none!
Disadvantages: bad service and inedible food

...am not a fan of Little Chef restaurants due to a couple of bad experiences which I will tell you about here. The first was when visiting Little Chef at Doncaster when myself and my partner were staying overnight at the adjacent Travelodge. We were hungry and thought we'd give the Little Chef a try. It was early evening when we visited and apart from a couple of customers was virtually empty. We ordered two meals and drinks from the menu which arrived ...
...this and was feeling a little more irritated now as we were trying to eat our meals, and she was standing over us! She disappeared then returned a minute later, came back to our table and began reaching across us to pick up the bowls which contained sugar, sauces etc and began re- filling them, even though they did not need re-filling. I was beginning to wonder by now if this was some sort of set-up and that we were being filmed secretly for some ...

Purple parking (for manchester Airport)

Advantages: safe parking at a good price
Disadvantages: none

...the best car park for Manchester Airport. From booking on-line, until our return from Turkey 2 weeks later, everything ran very smoothly. It only cost £47.00 for fourteen nights, so between four of us it was exceptionally reasonable. The staff were courteous and friendly,(apart from the driver coming back he never spoke) but he still carried cases etc. so was probably a bit reserved. The car was parked nicely, paperwork ws dealt with efficiently, ...

Review of Manchester Airport Parking

Airparks Car Parks Gatwick Airport

Advantages: Affordable and Reliable
Disadvantages: Once got date of return wrong, but were resolved this quickly

...term car parking facility at Gatwick Airport. I have used them on 3 different occasions when going on holiday. I usually prefer to use public transport to and from the airport but when the flight returns quite late I like to drive back. To book visit their website (www.airparks.co.uk), select the dates that you are looking to park for and they will quote a price. For 6 days this is in the region of £27 or £4.50 per day, so is not too bad. They are ...
...so you can get around 10% of this back. You can pay by credit or debit card (credit cards have a £1.50 fee) and once payment has gone through you are sent a confirmation email with a reference number that you have to take with you when you go. The car park itself is located just off the A23, around 4 miles from the North terminal. To get there come off the M23 at J10 and follow signs for Crawley, then the A23 for Redhill and then for Lowfield Heath. ...
