About this hotel
Set in Crawley town rather than right at the airport, this Travelodge trades a few extra minutes of transit time for a genuinely low rate and free parking, useful for anyone driving rather than relying on transfers. Rooms are bright and simply furnished, with free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen television rather than premium finishes. The bar-cafe covers a casual meal, and the property welcomes pets alongside a kid-friendly and accessible room offering, making it flexible for a range of travellers rather than a single type of stay.

Our take
Free parking is the main draw of the Travelodge Crawley, a budget three-star a short taxi ride from Gatwick with bright rooms, free Wi-Fi, a bar-cafe and pet-friendly and accessible rooms, scoring 8.0 from more than 1,100 reviews. I recommend it for families and drivers who want to keep costs down. Anyone wanting a terminal-side room or a shuttle should look at hotels at the airport instead.
- Bring your pet's documentation if travelling with an animal, since the property is pet-friendly by arrangement.
- Use the free parking rather than paying for a separate car park if you are driving.
- Check taxi times to the airport in advance since this hotel sits in Crawley rather than right at the terminal.

Why guests love itI see the Travelodge Crawley as a simple, good-value base for families flying from Gatwick. Parking is free, which helps anyone driving in, and the airport is a short taxi ride away. The rooms are bright, with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, and the hotel offers kid-friendly and pet-friendly rooms, plus an accessible option. A bar-cafe covers a light meal. The 8.0 score is solid for a budget three-star, so I would expect the basics done well.
