Travelodge Gatwick

Parking at the Gatwick Travelodge

In addition to the Travelodge Gatwick’s own car park, the hotel is also close to a number of Long Stay car parks that you can book at the same time as your hotel.

Procedures

When you arrive at the Gatwick Travelodge, park in the hotel’s underground car park and check in. As the car park is public, you wi ll need to ask for a voucher at reception – otherwise you may get a parking ticket.

On your departure from the hotel, you have three parking options: Airparks Gatwick just outside the airport, or the Long Stay car park

If you choose to leave your car at Airparks, park in an arrivals bay and head to reception to confirm your booking and leave your keys with an attendant. Your car will be securely parked for you. Airparks Gatwick is a secured car park with high barriers, monitored by regular patrols and CCTV, so you can be sure your vehicle is in good hands.

Should you wish to keep your car at one of Gatwick’s Long Stay car park whilst you’re away, make your way to the entrance and take a ticket at the barrier. You will then be directed to a zone in which to park. Leave your car in the parking space and enjoy your holiday!

Getting to and from Gatwick airport

A hotel shuttle bus runs to Gatwick airport from 3.20am until 12.20am every day (except Christmas Day). The charge is £20 per adult and £2.20 per child. This service is operated by Hotelbybus.

Airparks is served by 24 hour buses to both airport terminals, running every 15 to 20 minutes as a Park and Ride service. It takes 10 minutes to reach the North terminal, and 15 minutes to the South terminal. You’ll need to catch a return bus from stop 6 or 7 at the North terminal and 7 or 8 at the South terminal, which will bring you back to Airparks to collect your car.

The Long Stay car parks at Gatwick airport provide shuttle buses to the terminals roughly every 10 minutes. The buses operate 24 hours a day, so you needn’t worry about getting back too early or late.

Over-stay charges

Should your flight be delayed, or if you need to park for additional days, you will be charged at the daily rate for the car park where your vehicle is parked. Please refer to the Airparks and Long Stay Gatwick car park websites for their charges.

Dining and drinking at the Gatwick Travelodge

The combined bar and restaurant at the Travelodge Gatwick is on the ground floor next to reception, and offers a wide selection of food and drinks at very reasonable prices. Children are welcome at all hours, so please be aware that this area can get very busy in the evenings. The restaurant opens at around 5pm to 6pm, and there isn’t a set closing time, although the bar will generally close at about 11pm.

Vending machines in the hotel reception are available 24 hours for when you’re a little peckish or fancy a midnight snack.

Menu

The dishes offered at the restaurant are often seasonal, and mainly revolve around a traditional selection of ‘pub grub’ – good, filling meals with something to suit everyone. The bar provides a familiar selection of alcoholic drinks, soft drinks and beverages.
