Barrington Lodge

Good location close to gatwick. Less then 10 minutes walk to tesco. Friendly staff.

It was unreasonably warm in the property even tho it was cold outside. I had to sleep without blankets because of it.

The bed was a good size and very comfortable. It was Quiet and the Shower had good pressure

There was a guy on reception when we arrived and then we never saw anyone again, despite ringing the bell for service. The room was tiny, there wasn't a lot of space to move around the bed (which took up most the room). The room wasn't clean. Inside the wardrobe was caked in dust, you couldn't put anything clean clothes in there. There was chocolate left on the floor from the last guest. Twice, the guy in the room next to us tried to get into our room. First time I was getting dressed and our door was unlocked, the 2nd time was in the middle of the night, luckily our door WAS locked. The main entrance door remained unlocked the whole time we were there.

Staff were fantastic Osama really looked after me,moving bags ,etc.Nothing was too much trouble.

Location

There was a random sock over a fitting on the ceiling

Sheets were clean Room had character

The sink we reported not draining on night 1 was not resolved over a 2 night stay. The toilet joined the sink on the second night and backed up. I can assure you nothing but poo, pee and toilet roll went down it. The curtains were hanging off the curtain track in lots of places. There's a big hole in the lino in the bathroom which is quite disgusting as it looks dirty. One bathmat and no hand towel between 4 of us. Reception was very shabby. Didn't see any staff so can't comment on them.

The location was good
