Regards Ashley That's interesting as hell! The place I stayed at last time was the Ibis - as I recall, it was about 50 pounds all told with the transfers. I'd need the room for about 12 hours, so a basic room would run 65 pounds and no worries about the transfers. It bears thinking on...but seems a bit pricey.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

mnealtx 0 #12 August 23, 2007 Quotewhat about staying in a B&B? That's a possibility, as well. I just need a place to put my head down and a bathroom - the rest is gravy. Hmm... the Renaissance Gatwick is only .8 miles from the airport, and it's only 93 euro.... they appear to have free shuttle service as well...Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

skymama 37 #18 August 23, 2007 Start Googling B & B's. When I was doing my hotel search for our summer trip, I remember running across some places that advertised half-day rates for travelers who just wanted a little rest.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I was doing my hotel search for our summer trip, I remember running across some places that advertised half-day rates for travelers who just wanted a little rest. Not much luck with that, so far. I've found some B&B listings, but they all seem to be the same price as the hotels. My flight gets in at 7pm, and I need to be back at the airport by 8am. The Renaissance Gatwick has been the best choice I've seen so far, although the Yotel is interesting from a novelty standpoint.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
