First for a 3 star hotel connected to a London airport terminal. Directly attached to the north terminal building but only 5 minutes by the complimentary shuttle bus from the south terminal You can also reach the south terminal via the free monorail that runs between the two terminals every few minutes. While the comprehensive facilities of the airport are on hand you are also close to the amenities of Horley of the larger town of Crawley.
