Had to find a place to stay at short notice as we had to travel up from Cornwall for a family funeral. Somewhat shocked at most of the prices we found, and the Aerodrome was one of the most reasonable rates offered by the various good-quality hotels we considered.
We had trouble parking on our arrival as it seems that BT had booked in a large number of their fitters overnight, so there were BT vans everywhere, on top of which some of the parking area was unavailable due to building/refurbishment work which was going on following a recent change of ownership. This work was apparent in the corridor areas, but did not present us with any problems. Our twin room was spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped with comfortable chairs and a large TV (with a limiter on the volume, which is a good idea as adjoining rooms will not be disturbed), welcome tray and lovely comfortable beds. Although the hotel is just a few yards from the busy A23 Croydon by-pass and is backed by an industrial estate we were not disturbed at all by noise during the night, and slept very well (my wife is a terribly light sleeper, too).
Our room rate included a very nice freshly-cooked to order English breakfast with a self-service buffet for cereals, fruit, toast, etc. We decided to have our evening meal there - a really substantial three-course meal from a limited choice (3-4 main meals) menu costing £17.50, with a free wine or beer - which was beautifully cooked and presented. An a la carte menu was also available.
The service from all the staff was top-notch. They were all very pleasant, cheerful and helpful at all times. We were most impressed, and would happily return there if the occasion presented itself.
