Can't remember how many times I have paid over £100 at Gatwick (pre Covid) because everywhere else was full, for a few hours sleep!
£36 and £42 being displayed yesterday as I drove past.
The new hotel got passed by the Planning Committee last night that will be located in the car park of the Marriott Hotel. Also student accommodation blocks got planning permission to be converted into hotels sighting demand from an expanding airport. In reality the accommodation blocks will end up as accommodation for homeless families from London and homes for asylum seekers, which is already happening in the town.
The red building is the new hotel. The Marriott Hotel was built at lightening speed (or was it the second Ibis?) as the rooms were built in Poland complete with fixtures and fittings and assembled on site.
