the hotel was nice and clean and there were no issues there but on check in the room was under as my name and my card (im 17 turned 18 today, day we was meant to checkout) so the guy at the reception asks us both for id as im with my boyfriend who is 19 so he shows his but when i said i am 17 he told us we were unable to checkin as the room is under my name and i said cant we just change the name of the room or book another room under his name instead and they said no, i think 18 is the age to be to book a hotel room which is fair enough was just dissapointed that i didnt get to spend my birthday the way i wanted too.

We were disappointed that we waited in reception for 10 minutes before anyone appeared. The hroom was cold when we entered, and required some attention from your staff to get the heating to work.
Breakfast was good on the whole, but diluted orange juice did not go down too well.
Value for money OK
We arrived after dark, and went round your roundabout several times to find the entrance. The exit is just as difficult to find

Overnight stay

I had contacted the hotel for transport information and was only given basic info theirs a public bus service. No other info was provided so I message the hotel again to get no reply. Upon arrival i went to the wrong area to catch this bus. I tried to ring the hotel a few times on two numbers and no luck. An hour later I finally arrived at the hotel pretty annoyed at this long slow process. Everything else was satisfactory.

A reasonable hotel for the price. Plenty of parking space outside. Staff were very good to deal with and helpful if needed. Just a couple of things that spoiled our stay. Firstly we kept getting random women knocking on our door, when I answered they'd say sorry and walk off. I'm sure they were cleaners checking if we were in the room, but normally I'd expect them to have a list of who has checked already checked out. Not a major issue but still a bit strange. The second was that the hotel was so busy we had to queue for about 10-15 minutes to get seated for breakfast. The staff were very helpful though so it wasn't too bad in the end.

The stay was perfect, but breakfast was a a huge let down, could do with staying open til 10am, and more of a variety, ran out and had to wait, then time was running out.
But had a good nights sleep, very clean in the room, and seeing that it is a 24 hour hotel it was very quiet.

We stayed there one night unexpectedly, very last minute booking. We booked it one hour before we arrive. Even though it was abrupt booking rooms were ready with excellent condition. Every staffs take covid very seriously with highly detailed arrangement. I felt safe in there. Breakfast tastes amazing, served very diligently with such a care.

Comfort at a reasonable price, would recommend!

Friendly staff on reception, made us feel welcome and check-in/check-out was smooth and easy.
The room was well cleaned and the bed was very comfortable.
Lack of fridge meant our room beers didn't stay cold, but we paid for the standard room so knew what to expect.
Great public transport links (bus stop) within two minutes walk from reception, train station nerarby too.
Catered for our dietry requirements at breakfast, which for a free breakfast wasn't too bad. Can't fault it - especially for the price!

needs some money spent on it !!

Bed to hard for me.
Big gap between window and frame that had been stuffed with loo roll to stop wind coming in but wasnt too succesful.
Turned on kettle to make a drink and power blew but this was quickly replaced.
Shower had an overflow pipe coming into it through wall which had water running out of it into shower and also had some insulation coming out of the pipe which wa lovely to have a shower with !

Fine

Staff friendly - little opportunity to use facilities owing to Covid but generally fine. Have to request housekeeping, was not informed of this until I called reception three days into my stay.

This place was a glorified dump. Don’t stay here. The room was unkept, there was hair in the shower and some mold as well. I had been misled into thinking that this place was adjacent to the airport but it is about 5 miles away. It really felt like one of those places you rent by the hour (really nasty)

Not what I expected


Althought it is possible that other guests may have had a different experience if they were staying in a different flioor other than the ground floor, I must say that mine was not good. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was broken. The ground floor seemed to have been neglected. The carpet was very dirty at some areas. Some areas were used as storage of old staff.It just did not feel like being in a holiday inn express like I am used to.

Not sure what the upper levels look like.
I ordered chicken wings and onion rings to take to my room. The onion rings were soft and not tasty.

The guy at reception was nice. He asked if I wanted to change rooms but I was tied a had already unpacked. Besides I was not expecting to have the ground floor get better. I recomment that the ground floor be made better to the stadards of Holiday inn express.

The other good thing is that the bus stop is right next to the hotel. It costs €2.60 one way to the south terminal Bus # 20. Perfect if you only have hand luggage. The trip is 15 minutes.

Not sure if I am going back to this hotel.

The hotel was acceptable for a nights stay. The breakfast wasn’t as good as some of the reviews. My main issue is though is that I have just returned from a 2 week holiday to a £100 parking fine. We checked in, asked about parking and was told it was £8, paid it, no mention of logging our details in a tablet as we are now being told. There were 3 members of staff there when we checked in and we were chatting to them about our holiday, Christmas etc so why wouldn’t one of them say about putting our car details in. There was definitely NO mention of it! The only help Holiday Inn Crawley will give us for US to follow it up with the parking company. Poor customer service all round.

If you are going there from gatwick airport, go to the south terminal, then to the bus stop on the ground level. Take the metro bus that says Crawley on the screen & get off at the 7th stop I believe which is (square about) it’s located across from the hotel entrance. Cost 2.50 GBP
The free internet was really high speed & the free breakfast was ok.
Mattress & pillows are comfortable. But only one kind of soap in the bathroom to wash & shower. No shampoo, no body wash.
I would stay there again comparing to the other hotels for money value & location is very convenient to go back to the airport. It takes about 17 min to get to the hotel & it take about 15 min to go back to the airport with the metro bus.
