Help ID 3.5* Gatwick, $55 Feb 20-21, please?

amenities are

Rest, business, HS Internet

85% customer satisfaction

Could this be the H.Inn back to 3.5*?

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

It could be the Holiday Inn property as this property offers the amenities above, but so do many other hotels in the area, and it could just as easily be one of those as well. As of last reports the Holiday Inn also had a Tennis icon in addition to the amenities above, so while possible, i'd guess this is likely some other property.

There is a 4* Gatwick Feb 20-21, now $42

fitness, pool, rest. and business center

which I thought was probably the Crowne Plaza, but the trip advisor reviews don't match in quantity (+20) or quality(80%).

What do you think?

[AaronJB]

80% and 20 reviews are the HOTWIRE reviews. The tripadvisor reviews are the 4/5 circles shaded towards the bottom of the detail screen.

The amenities above are common for a 4* hotel, but the 4.0/5.0 TA rating is consistent with the Crowne Plaza.

I finally booked a cancelable direct hotel one night at Gatwick at the end of my trip to be assured being closer to the airport. Those other nights I also booked through your Hotels.com link the Melia White House, of which details are in this LOOOONG hotel thread . Thanks for your help.

Thanks for closing this thread.

Hope you had a great trip.

Absolutely, however, the Melia gave our room away the first night.. sent us to A Thistle Hotel at Marble Arch in a car that took an hour to come get us.. then paid for a taxi back in the morning. ( I found this sadly comical after all I went through to get "the perfect hotel situation!!)

They DID upgrade us to Club lounge services.( free breakfast everyday.. free cocktails and tapas in the evening, a bottle of champagne and chocolates waiting in the room when we FINALLY were able to check in).

But I was quite annoyed. There was a huge football game, with VIP's from one of the teams staying at that hotel .. so.. guess the last 5 couples to arrive got the walking papers.

And this was after I sent two emails and called twice the previous days to remind them of our very late arrival.

I don't know the 'industry standard' in Europe, but in the States when this happens the nite is usually comped as well.

I guess I should have asked for more. Who knows. I probably did have more rights.
