I had a rather disappointing experience during my stay. The location is convenient for accessing Gatwick airport, but the overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired. The rooms felt outdated and not very clean, and the dining options were quite poor. To top it off, the service I received was unhelpful at times. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless significant improvements are made.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The first night was satisfactory, with a decent room and good dining options, but my return was a frustrating ordeal due to overbooking. The hotel needs to manage its reservations better to prevent such issues, as it affected not only my stay but also those of other guests.

My stay at Effingham Park Copthorne had some positives, like the spacious rooms with great facilities, but the service I encountered left much to be desired. Check-in was frustrating due to disorganized staff, and the dining experience was disappointing with limited food options. While the room cleanliness was a highlight, the overall service detracted from what could have been a relaxing getaway.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. While the room was spacious and clean, the overall decor felt quite dated. The service could use some improvement, especially during busy times. The breakfast was average and took longer than expected to arrive, but the hotel's proximity to the airport was convenient for my travel plans.
