Very Good

Ideal location for Gatwick airport. Easy access after hours. Quiet area. Room suitable for one night stay. Could do with updating - toilet brush holder and towel rail rusty. Shower was low pressure and close to the wall so had to stand right at the taps and lean in to get wet, temperature was good tho. Despite this, would stay again for location and price.
A really quiet place in a suburb close to the airport. Bus stop very near. The room decor was beautiful, very modern. Comfortable bed, lovely bathroom with great shower. Great communication. Would stay here again.
My stay was great - the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Really convenient if you are planning on either going to Gatwick or returning from, with bus routes and taxis available nearby. Would stay again, thank you.
Overnight stay for early flight from Gatwick. Very convenient, booked parking, just needed a twin bedded room. Very satisfied with room for outflight, so booked for late return. Simple to get in after normal hours. Didn't need food just the room. More than adequate and the price was way below the national chains

Cheapest nearby hotel that is walkable (20mins) to Gatwick South Terminal - recommended for those on a tight budget. There is a footpath from South Terminal all the way to this hotel but it takes some navigating around car parks and train lines :)
The property needs maintenance, you don’t t feel welcomed in this hotel, lack of attention to detail, requested the hairdryer and breakfast for the next day and they weee not provided, we had to ask for it again the following day. A couple talked ALL NIGHT UNTIL 4:30 am, they weee not even in the room besides us but we could hear as they talked VERY LOUD. As there wasn’t any reception we couldn’t complaint.
Good information upon arrival. Very comfortable bed. Nice bathroom with deep tub. Good restaurants near buy. Taxi to and from Gatwick Airport 19 GBP

Good accommodation for a very reasonable price. Excellent position for local frequent buses to Gatwick airport and access to town facilities . Pubs, shops and restaurants a short walk away.

Such a wonderful experience at the lodge. Warm welcome at check in. Very accommodating giving us our choice of rooms to a quiet local facing the rear garden. So quiet and peaceful. Lovely town Horley, supper at the Forrester pub, outstanding English fare and atmosphere. 5 min walk from the Horley train station then 3 min to LGW for our flight.
