Gatwick

There's a Hilton there too I think.

Are you looking for a nice hotel or a value for money hotel ?

A nice hotel is the Sofitel, and it has a bridge that links it directly to the terminal if you are flying from the North Terminal.

A good value for money hotel is the Russ Hill Hotel. They operate a shuttle bus which takes about 10 minutes to get to the airport and a double room including parking for 2 weeks is usually around the £50/£60 mark.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think we're looking for something mid-range. Maybe a step or two up from a travelodge but nothing that will break the bank.

We'd planned on getting the train because the cheapest parking quote was £80 but if you reckon we can get a hotel and parking deal that sounds like a bargain! I'll have a look.

I would second this, we stayed at this hotel when we went to Turkey and I think it was £80 for the hotel and parking for two weeks, but there were four of us staying.

I just did a search and the cheapest "stay and park" deal is £90 and the Russ Hill hotel is £167! I bet its due to the Olympics. Grr

My cousin managed to get a travelodge nearby for £20!

We always stay at the Premier Inn, think the most we have paid is £80. Near to the airport and a nice restuarant/bar attached too

Have a look at holidayextras.co.uk. We always use this when we're going away because we live miles away from any airport. We got the Gatwick Airport Hilton plus parking a few years ago for a really good deal. When I first looked there was also a deal for a meal, but that had been snapped up by the time I came to booking.

Thanks everyone, will see what I can find.
