Holiday Inn Gatwick

Holiday Inn Gatwick

We had an early flight out of Gatwick, so we decided to book into the Holiday Inn. This is a hotel I would definitely recommend for anyone in the UK who needs a hotel plus parking. We got a park and fly deal, which included a triple room plus up to 8 days of parking for only £120. In London, that's a bargain.

So how was the hotel itself?
The Holiday Inn offers good, clean lodging at a fair price. This isn't luxury, but it's not compromising much either. You'll get a fairly generic room... but it will be comfortable. Depending on how you approach the airport, you'll be able to see the familiar green logo glowing on top of the hotel to guide you to it. The turn-offs to The Holiday Inn are also well marked on the appropriate round-a-bouts.

What was our room like?
Our teenaged son's bed was a fold-out, which was truly only large enough for one person. Maybe you could fit two toddlers here, but even that might be a stretch because toddlers squirm. If you have a family of four, ask for a true double. I think the cost is the same... if available. Still, our room was plenty large enough for my family. The standard desk was there. The mini-bar was fully stocked. The bathroom with its black and white tiles had a little bit of personality though I noticed some wear and tear on the ceiling above the shower. No matter. All was clean. Extra pillows were in the sizable closet.

How does the parking deal work?
You give the receptionist your keys. The staff puts the car into a long-term car park. When you get back from vacation, go to the front desk. If you go over the time for which you originally booked, you settle up the extra fees then.

How do you get to the airport?
There's a shuttle that takes guests to and from the airport. It costs £2 per person, and you pay the bus driver when you board. I believe buses start at 5 AM, but you need to ask when you check into the hotel.

I am certain that my family will use this hotel again.
