The room was adequate and clean without any extras. The restaurants and food was very good as was the service. It was very good value for a 1 night stay and 1 weeks car parking and the transfers and timetables were very good. But we found the hotel rather run down and in need of an update although in lovely surroundings. We wouldn't like to stay more than 1 night and wouldn't recommend anybody else to.

Russ Hotel is not a Travel lodge or modern box like hotel. It has character and is a very pleasant place to stay before an early departure to the airport. The instructions to the hotel were good.We found the check in service and transport to Gatwick efficient. Although the pick up bus only runs once an hour, it's easy enough to take your time in the Airport to avoid hanging about outside. With current road works at Gatwick it is a bit of a trek to the pickup point. WE would definitely use the hotel again.

The bedroom was very small and smelled musty. There was no heating on but a there was a fan heater. The room & bathroom were clean however. The bed was very uncomfortable. The buffet meal was better than anticipated, and the restaurant staff pleasant. Transfer fee to airport was £5 a head return which was very reasonable. We noticed on our return that the mileage on the car had changed by 10 miles, and it was explained to us that the car had been stored "3 or 4 miles away". I would only recommend this hotel if one was on a budget.

The hotel was shut on arrival owing to a power outage. A reservation was made at another hotel at higher cost. I had to pay the extra myself and also I had to pay the taxi for the transfer from one hotel to the other. The manager said that the cost would be born by insurance, but I am a UK resident without travel insurance. I was disappointed by the service and care I received. My understanding is that the manager has requested a refund on my behalf to my credit card. Can you please let me know, if this has happened?

Room had a window!!! It was about 8ft off the ground, very small and very basic room. Would only use this hotel for the purposes of flying from Gatwick airport and parking, as very good value for money for this purpose.

Inexpensive stay and park hotel. Nice location (as soon as you can actually find the place). Reception and parking staff efficient but not friendly. Wake up call never came---we were not the only ones. Bus service good, but too infrequent. Overall, we got what we paid for, but the experience could have been better
