Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great location at airport Easy to find Straight forward check in Clean and quiet room Varied selection for breakfast Would use again"

Mercure Dartford Brands Hatch Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Stayed for one night after racing at Brands Hatch, 20 yards away so perfect location for the circuit. Clean rooms are being updated so all smart now. Friendly staff and plenty of free parking on site. The Sports bar certainly needs modernisation and drinks prices seem somewhat excessive. £10 Guinness and almost £9 for cider."

Delta Hotels Bexleyheath

8/10 Good

"Daily fresh towels which was great. Room was reasonably clean but a little run down (marks on the wall, bath, etc). The real issue was the parking garage where the stairwell had an intense smell of urine with large water puddles. This was reported on our arrival, but was not cleaned within the four days we were there."
