Hilton Gatwick

Well, it has been an interesting start to the holiday so far.  Yesterday we travelled to Gatwick to fly away today. 

We have stayed at the Hilton in Gatwick before, this being in the time before kids, the attraction being the walk way into the terminal, but this time the experience was more memorable.  The kids were one reason, they loved being away from home and they both loved the room.  We ate in Giraffe in the terminal before going back to the room.  It was a great room, loads of space for the kids, the only issue I had being the bed which I was convinced was not level, and I feel it was due to this that I nearly fell out of bed on more than one occasion in the night.  But other than that, it was a great stay and I am sure that if ever we have the opportunity to stay there again that the same would not happen again with the bed issue and the reason for this was the communication that took place by e-mail before our stay and the way the staff were helpful.  Besides, things could have been worse.  If we had stayed at the Sofitel, we would not have been able to book in due to a security alert!

Anyway, we are knackered now.  The kids have had a full day, waking up early in the morning and then a flight and now a stay elsewhere!
