Premier Inn

Yes, I've used them twice at an airport and been very pleased with the comfort level.
I did try a different, cheaper hotel another time, a shuttle-ride away, and it was horrible! Will go for the convenience of Premier Inn every time.

In fact, I'll be there again next week!

We're great fans of Premier Inns and regularly stay at Ashford Central, which is actually on the outskirts, handy for the tunnel, as well as at Manchester Airport.

PI have another one at Eureka Park, but I didn't think Ashford International was one of theirs.

They are clean, warm and comfortable.

I should add that Sandra and her staff at Ashford Central were so kind and helpful to us when my aunt broke her hip in Belgium.

Premier Inn LGW North Terminal all the time for us. Walk across the road and straight into Departures.

Got a double for £29 next month.:)

Wow! You're lucky there, Pete. We rarely manage the cheapest, but still reasonable.

Our next overnight there after next month is on 2 February. Just checked and the Saver Rate is £31.50, still a snip.

We're generally waiting for DIL to give us her travelling dates, so that we go out to help with the boys. We can't often book far in advance.

I booked my room for next week a while back, and it was £69.

I guess it's not off-season enough.

Is it better to leave the booking until close to the date of travel, or book ages ahead?

Dunno really. Just keep checking. I normally pay £39 online for a non-refundable Saver Room, so I'm pleasantly surprised.

I booked the £31.50 room for February a few minutes ago. As our Emirates flight to Bangkok doesn't leave LGW until 1335 I've also booked the Dinner [2 courses + drink] and [pig-out] Breakfast meal deal @ 24.98 each, totalling £81.48.:)

Yes, I started looking back in January, when I booked this holiday, and kept looking up to about two months ago, and it was still £69 for the non-refundable saver.

Ashford international was the hotel.

Are you sure it was the Ashford International Hotel as it is not a Premier Inn, it is part of the Q Hotels Group.
