I'm not in the habit of slating hotels for no good reason as you'll see from any previous posts here. We stayed at the Gatwick Worth for one night - one night too many. We chose it because it was a good rate for car parking while we were on holiday and a free shuttle to the airport - that was about the only benefit.
We checked in around 7pm, asked about the shuttle bus for the next morning, but they didn't have a shuttle bus available to get us to the airport in time for the flight so we had to book a cab at extra expense. Reception staff were nigh on useless on both check in and slow and miserable on the early morning check out.
Getting to the room was interesting - no lift to the floor we were on and with a holiday suitcase and no offer of assistance from staff to help carry luggage, I was in a bad mood before I reached the room.
The room itself was tiny, dark, didn't feel clean, uncomfortable - and I couldn't wait to leave it and go to downstairs to get some food.
Unfortunately, the main restaurant had stopped cooking by this stage so I was offerd bar food. Staff weren't really sure what you were ordering unless you pointed to it on the menu, clearly they weren't hired for their spoken English. When the food arrived, additional disappointment at it being cold.
Check out couldn't come a moment too soon.
Incidently, we did get the shuttle bus back from the airport on our return to the UK. From my perspective I wished we'd booked a cab instead. The driver was fairly wreckless, jumped a number of amber lights late on in their sequence and used his phone whilst driving. It was almost we had inconvenienced his morning.
Whilst it offered reasonable rates for parking plus one nights accommodation, I wouldn't stay again even if it were free.
