Gatwick Hotel with parking, recommendations please

Just back from 3 weeks in Turkey. This is an annual trip for us and generally return flight doesn't get into Gatwick until after midnight. :(

This year, our drive home was a nightmare. With time difference and delays we were really too tired to drive safely.

Usually we leave the car in an off airport car park. Has anyone got a recommendation for a Gatwick hotel/B&B that offers parking so that we can get a night's sleep before driving home?

    Holiday Inn Gatwick. Parking is on site with regular shuttle buses to both terminals

    You might find it easier to use long term parking and seperate hotel as parking at hotel limited to two weeks. Use free shuttle from car park to terminal then hotel shuttle £3 each. I've use Premier Inn £39 booked in advance.

    I'd highly recommend the Premier Inn which is literally steps away from North Terminal and the shuttle train across to South Terminal. We use their valet parking through the Sleep, Park, Fly rate where you can book to stay over either on departure or return.

    We've used the hotel many times as our drive home to Wales is too long after a late night return; their dinner and breakfast packages are good value for money too.

    Thanks for the responses. I'm a fan of Premier Inn as you get what you pay for (comfy bed, good breakfast etc).

    I hadn't thought of the fact that there would be a two week limit on the accommodations that offer a parking package. Is that general?

    At Heathrow I tend to do any hotel+parking deal but at Gatwick I almost always use the Premier Inn North Terminal as it is so convenient (I've made it from bed to airside in under 15 minutes). As an alternative there is another Premier Inn (called the Gatwick A23) which is sometimes cheaper and is only a few minutes walk from the terminal even if the route isn't immediately obvious.
