Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not up to the standard I expected, but the overall experience was enjoyable. The service could have been better, but the location was convenient. Dining options were a highlight, while the facilities added to the pleasant stay.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms and helpful service but lacks in dining variety. It's conveniently located near the airport, making it a practical choice. However, the noise from outside can be disruptive.
The rooms were quite noisy due to an ongoing event in the entertainment area, where the noise could be heard until early hours. On the upside, the rooms offered nice amenities like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies. However, it's advisable to double-check with the hotel if rooms near these areas are typically assigned to guests. The service was friendly and accommodating, with a few hiccups in communication regarding complaints and follow-up. The location, although not the most peaceful due to noise from an air con generator, is convenient and easily accessible, especially for travelers coming from major road networks. The dining experience was a mixed bag, with commendable breakfast quality but inconsistent room cleaning timings. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory, catering to essential needs.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms but is in need of refurbishment. The service was good overall, but some staff were not attentive. The location is convenient for nearby entertainment options, but may pose transportation challenges. The dining experience was average. The hotel facilities were decent.
The Courtyard by Marriott offers nice rooms but not really fancy; you can breathe normally, though they fall short of the standard of the entrance. The small bathroom could be a downside. Service was mixed, with one receptionist being exceptionally helpful and friendly but a disappointment with cold overpriced food. The location, while friendly and attentive, may be noisy due to nearby machinery and is far from the town center and the airport. Dining couldn't be faulted and offered choices for everyone. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
The hotel is conveniently located close to Gatwick Airport with onsite long-stay parking, but the rooms are in need of renovation and could be noisy if near certain units. The service is inconsistent, with some staff focusing more on their tasks than on guests' needs. The dining options are overpriced for the standard offerings, and the breakfast quality is disappointing. However, the location offers easy access to Crawley center, Brighton, and the airport, with nearby restaurants and amenities.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were well-equipped but noisy due to nearby service areas. Access to the club lounge for snacks was a nice touch, but the staff noise was a downside. The location was convenient for the airport but lacked local charm.
