Heathrow Hotels
Typical airport 4* hotel, overpiced, clean, efficient and boring ; ) Still, hopefully you are on your way to better things and just need a clean, warm bed, no?
The Little Rock Chic and I, stayed one 'night' (we got up at 4 am for our early morning check-in). We got a good deal at this rather good website : Holiday Extras This website does much cheaper deals than booking directly with the hotels. We booked the secret 4 * option to get this hotel at a better price. It is very close to the aiport and is the first stop on the Hopper Bus which services all the airport hotels. The journey is grey and depressing, what can I say.
Check in was efficient, the room clean & with all the usual stuff, although rather cold and rather 1970's. Go out for dinner elsewhere if you have the energy, we ordered soup and sandwich and a bottle of water and it was just over £30 - riduiculous! but what can you do when you are exhausted? I suggest bringing your own little minature of brandy or whatever and mix it with something from the mini bar and maybe some nibbles of your own as they have a fridge in the rooms.
The reception area has a flight information board and staff ordered us a taxi which arrived promptly and was a nice clean car with a cheerful, but not overly chatty (it was 4 am!)and helpful(lifted casese etc) driver (overpriced again at £10).
The hotel also has a pool (no time for us to investigate) and offers 24 room service, check in 2pm, latest check-out 12.00 noon.
We thought about booking somewhere with a little more personality like the Shearton or similar, but as our check-in was so early, we really only needed a clean bed for the night, so we didn't bother. The Park Inn was comparitively good value and I can definitley recommend it for ease and convenience with clean, 4 * facilities.
Unique Quality: Close to the airport.
