Overall good experience. Decent on-site restaurant and well provisioned rooms. Good and convenient transfer service. When we arrived (late afternoon/early evening) there was no-one on reception for some time which resulted in a long queue. When the staff member returned it took a while to get each car booked in, as the filing system seemed in slight disarray. When they found our booking we had to fill the form in, then take a label to the car and return to hand the keys in. Notwithstanding this I would definitely use Skylane again

Room was better than the last time we stayed. Evening meal and breakfast was good.As a CAMRA member the lack of real ale was unacceptable--a trait all too common in hotels.

We only used the hotel transport to return to the hotel as our flight out was at 6.30am, the call to the taxi company was free from reception, and the taxi was on time at 3.45am. We had no problems on our return our car was ready for us to drive away. Will definitely stay again

This was our third visit and sadly it was let down by lack of heating, hence such a poor rating for room condition. Our room was very cold on our arrival, Monday 16th Jan was quite a cold day and having driven to Gatwick straight from work were looking forward to having a warm shower to freshen up. After following the instruction on the heating panel we were unable to activate the system so called for help. This arrived very promptly and we were assured that we had actually switched on the heating but it would take a while to actually come through the heating vents. We questioned if the radiator in the bathroom, which was also cold, would also warm up but were told that unfortunately the radiators were not currently working. Our room did eventually warm up but the bathroom remained like a fridge for the whole of our stay. It was very disappointing to find that after much refurbishment the heating seemed inadequate. We would appreciate your comments.

Nice to be able to leave the car parked at the hotel safely. Restaurant had a friendly atmosphere - much nicer than 5* dining! Beds gave us a good night's sleep and the air conditioning/heating worked very well. Bathroom best we've seen in a hotel! Transfers efficient and friendly.

It is a pity that the transfer to the air port does not run late.Our aircraft was 2 hours late and we did not know that there was no transfer to the hotel. We had to pay out for a taxi to take us back to the hotel
