Four day stay was cancelled on arrival by hotel due to it being used for Government Quarantine Service, we were only allowed a new night stay and had to make our own alternative arrangements. Management were apologetic but didn’t resolve issue of us having no accommodation for 3 nights and no notice. Do not use this hotel Still awaiting refund 😡

No Go Hotel!

Our stay was cancelled by the hotel as it's now a 'quarantine' hotel for Gatwick Airport. We were given the name of another hotel nearby and stayed at the Crowne Plaza in East Grinstead. We had to pay again. Can our money be refunded please?

I stayed at this hotel before a Gatwick flight several years ago, and was looking forward to returning to the hotel. The exterior of the hotel was undergoing some renovation when we arrived by taxi and with the months of lockdown, we were prepared for things to be less than perfect. The receptionist was friendly on arrival, but the foyer looked shabby. Our room wasn’t very clean, though the beds were clean and comfortable and the bathroom was clean but very tired. The carpet in our room was covered in fluff and didn’t look like it had been vacuumed recently. The curtains were hanging off the rail and we cleaned the table surfaces ourselves. They were grimy. We were offered a very limited evening menu. The food was acceptable. We had breakfast before leaving and had to prebook exactly what we wanted to eat. This was also satisfactory. After checking out with the very pleasant reception staff, we had to use the toilet facilities near the foyer. These were quite grimy, as were the doors we had to pass through to get to them. The whole place looked like it needed a good clean followed by some serious renovation. Surprising in this time of extra cleaning for COVID reasons. I would not wish to stay there again.

Great value but everything is relative.

The hotel is a little tired and in need of an update throughout. Staff were being trained at the reception when we arrived, so check in took maybe 10 minutes. The key card for the room never worked throughout our stay. Comfortable but shabby. However, cheap and good value really.

Stopover visiting friends

Staff were amasing, great size rooms. Hotel is very dated and needs some tlc; i can imagine in its time it was an amasing place. But today its very old fashion with patterned carpets and terrible shower curtain that doesnt keep the water in. The bath panel was rotten and had peeling paint and one of our windows didnt close, and blow open twice during the night. One of the most comfortable bed ive ever slept in. Not many other guest.

Large hotel, convenient for Gatwick.

A large hotel, quite a way from car park to reception to my room. I also found the heating in the hotel unnecessarily warm. My room was nice though, and I appreciated the late check out.

Overall good ,but please read above.

We didn't stay long enough to comment on all the aspect at the Hotel ,but overall was good for short stay ,would recommend to some one for the price charged and the stay was fine reception very helpful and welcoming ,well-done keep it up,it's a shame that u don't do the bus shuttle as you have the car park space although you have taxi service,but regular bus shuttle is very important as people have to get in time at Gatwick Airport and Taxi service are costly ,but maybe it's too much for Hotel to take on bus shuttle ,but please let the manager or director know it will boost up your customer and u will have to have another department with extra staff,it may be worth considering .

The hotel is going through renovation and I was allocated a modern room which was comfortable. The only negative is the main restaurant was not open for 2 of the three nights I was staying, which left all the residents eating in the bar with limited space and low tables. I had to wait over 50 min for my meal.

False advertisement

We were very disappointed by our stay- our bedside light wasn't working, the toilet was leaking all night, the tv kept switching itself off, there was no room service menu available and only ham and cheese apparently which is ridiculous! all bars were closed, staff couldn't communicate well because they were foreign and spoke little english which didnt help much when there was only 2 staff to be seen all evening. We are expecting a full refund.
