Room was incredibly basic, floor was dirty, walls were dirty, bedding was stained. I dont know if we were above the kitchen but there was a VERY strong smell of food coming in to the room. The windows could do with an upgrade too since its on a main road. I would say you get what you pay for, although we had the superior room, so i would've at least expected a clean and presentable room. Luckily we were there just for one night but it wasnt a comfortable one.

We had an overnight layover and this hotel turned out to be a great choice to rest and recharge. The room was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the bar stayed open late with food options available. They also offer airport transportation at a reasonable price, which was very convenient. I would definitely stay here again if the need arises.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The customer service was not great. The man at the front desk was rude and gave the impression that he didn’t want to be there when I was asking questions. The overall cleanliness was also disappointing—the carpets were old, stained, and dirty. The towels provided were worn and old. Additionally, the television in our room was not working properly. The remote control wouldn’t function correctly, and when I informed the staff, they immediately said it did work. I called again to follow up, and they sent someone to check it. He told us they would have a new remote by the next day, which never happened. In the meantime, we were told to turn the TV off using the button on the back. This is clearly poor customer service, especially if they are unable to replace something as simple as a remote control. While the fee is not the highest, it’s also not cheap. It may be the more affordable option, but paying a bit more elsewhere would likely be well worth it.

Warm welcome

The greeting at reception was friendly, I confirmed my car to Gatwick for the early morning. There was a delicious aroma of curry from the dining area. I asked if there was a hair dryer in my room, and was given one, straight away. Just enough time to wash and dry my hair, before sampling the curry!
