I stayed 3 nights and knew that I wouldn't spend much time in it. The location is convenient, close to Gatwick and the train to London. 24hrs asda across the street, highstreet out front, so convenient.
The hotel itself is outdated, sparse equipped, furniture is worn out, no minibar etc... BUT: if you are willing to overlook that, it was spotless, cleaner than most places I ever stayed and the beds are super!
