Close to the NEC
Bed was comfy and the room was clean.
Great value given the area.
Lack of standard facilities in the room. Hair dryer was provided with a smile when I asked but as a women travelling alone, I would not go into reception to make
a hot drink.

The location would have been good but I got blocked in the car park so the proximity to where I needed to be was completely negated by not being able to leave. Needless to say, I was late as a result.
Not a great experience unfortunately. The rooms are pretty bad and not particularly clean (I found a fag butt on the floor in the room). There are no deadlocks on the doors, not great for lone female guests (or any guests!) Just those awful round handle locks you get on your nan bathroom door. The furniture is a mishmash of random things (the wardrobe looks a bit like old school locker only not as charming) There's only one curtain that barely coveres the window, the window doesn'tshut properly and directly outside is a gas boiler flue. The shower was cold, the room was chilly (turning the radiator up did nothing as the TRV valve was broken. There were two plug sockets, one near the ceiling and the other coming away from the wall. No tea, coffee or kettle as advertised. In addition they rent half the car park out to an airport parking company who blocks you in if you park in thier spaces (but no-one tells you where to park and there's no signs) I got blocked in and was made late for my meeting. Over all I will definitely not be staying here again!

The location was difficult to locate.
No arrangement for breakfast.
No arrangement for kettle or coffee materials in the rooms, one had to come to the reception downstairs anytime one needed a cuppa, which was not convenient at all going up and down the stairs.

Parking was ridiculous and told to move as reserved for airport stays. Reception was scruffy with chairs and bits all over the place. Keys to rooms were on cheap key fobs from Amazon. Got in room and struggled to make sure it was locked so no one could get in. Room was tiny. Bed was hard. Stains on wall and carpet and curtains. Shower was small and mouldy. Toilet seat was falling off. Very little toilet roll. Tv had porn channels on it when trying to find normal tv. More like a hostel and would be lucky to be a 1 star. Warning do not stay here.

Closeish to Gatwick Airport. Just a bus or taxi away.
The cleanliness of the place was shocking and the place is in need of renovation from celling to redecoration

It was close to the airport
The entrance of reception was hundreds of bedding all over the place. The booking felt hostile. The room was not worth the money, the toilet didn't work, the shower was disgusting, the water wouldn't flush from the sink, the side lamp was broken, the blind was frayed and the windows had mould. The room was cold and not fit for purpose. Some pictures are enclosed. This seems to be a regular thing with some accommodation on your site I have been in. I would like to be refunded for such an appalling experience yet again with your company, thank you. I have lost faith in your company. These places should be vetted correctly before letting anyone stay. I await your reply, yours faithfully Ms P Amess.

Very close to the airport and easy to access. I needed to be at the airport at 4 am and had arranged a taxi to collect me, and it was snowing heavily, but they were able to collect me, and within 10 minutes, we were at the airport drop-off zone.
I arrived at the designated time but was not able to enter the building. Another person had arrived before me and had called the number and the person arrive 5 min later, but this meant that despite it being within normal working hours were were standing outside in the cold until they arrived and checked us into the hotel.

Close to the airport with ample parking, there’s a petrol station two minutes up the road to buy snacks and preflight stuff cheaper than the airport if you need something last minute. Also a subway in there also.
The noise from the main road kept me awake

Close location to the airport and staff did accommodate our late check in.
Overall property is very old and quite shabby. Very small compact rooms, barely enough room to get to both sides of the bed. Tiny TV not really worth having. Extremely old fashioned and worn out. Floor boards very creaky. Nobody around in morning when checking out early. Car park was over full, parked in any way possible. Didn’t expect much for the price, but probably wouldn’t rush to stay again unless desperate.

I did not book or have breakfast. The hotel was close to the airport and the staff ran an excellent early shuttle service to the airport at the time of my choosing for only £10.
The location of the hotel was a little difficult to find.

The room was clean and larger than some single rooms I have stayed in. Very limited selection of what could be seen on the television. Sufficient facilities ie tea /coffee and toiletries.
Not sure about being so close to the end of the airport runway but there was very little air traffic during the night.

The hotel was in a good location for what we needed
The bed too big for the room and was on a slant.
The bathroom light didn’t work
The door to the room didn’t open easily due to the carpet restricting it.
The window was drafty and the outside traffic very noisy
Wasn’t really sure who was staff and who wasn’t as the man that checked us in was never seen again.

Bed was comfortable. It was a bed for the night was all I was expecting and that is what I got.
There was plenty shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom.
It was a bit cramped especially the shower cubicle. I am not overweight but the shower was really only for a very small light person. The room was not made up while I was there but not a big problem. Planes taking off noise from 05:30AM woke me up.

10 minute transfers to/from the airport, so quite convenient. Clean and tidy enough for a short stay.
Very very small. Noisy, as to be expected. Not the most comfortable of beds.

The staff were very attentive. It smelt fresh on arrival at court is more like a hostel than a hotel. Good amount of parking I didn’t get charged extra for parking, which was a bonus and much appreciated and how it should be for hotel guests.
It was just rundown non-matching furniture small you basically got what you paid for. There’s no phone to connect back to reception. Eva my kettle was just boiling over. I had to switch it off from the plug but I was only saying one night and I’ve arrived late, so I couldn’t be bothered to then go back outside And track down the reception staff. It seemed like only one person actually understood English anyway while all the other lady was a cleaner. I didn’t use the shower. I just didn’t really feel comfortable in the room.

It was OK as I had messed up a booking at the Crowne Plaza at the NEC and needed another night. It's as basic as it gets with a takeaway next door. It was 60 quid, so you get what you pay for,

How close it was to the airport
Very mismatch if the duvet covers matched in a room with two beds would look more appealing
