We arrived quite late and found the car park to be not very well lit. Beds very comfy, good in room facilities with an amazing shower. Nice to have a choice between pub food / the restaurant for dinner.

This hotel is very convenient for Gatwick, and good value with a parking deal. The food in the pub was very poor, however, with the 'steak' burgers tasting like frozen burgers.

The room was fine, and the parking process at Airparks first class. But the so called "Bar" left a lot to be desired. They had run out of most drinks, the menu was very limited and the condition of the decor would struggle to get a single star. Will be trying an alternate hotel next time

The hotel was clean and basic. The pub was disappointing as it lacked atmosphere and the food was very basic and not of the standard I expected. The Manor parking arrangement was good. Dont think I would stay here again though.

It is a clean hotel with very good customer service. Excellent value for money considering that there were three of us and we could park our car for up to 15 days. We will definitely use them again as they are only 15 minutes away from Gatwick and the transfer service is prompt and excellent.

Unfortunatley the bar had sold out of beer and a lot of wines. The food was not very good so we went across the road to the garage and bought sandwiches and a couple of bottles of wine, sat in bed (which was very comfortable) ate,drank, and watched tv. not the usual start to a holiday for us.
