Any recs on LGW airport hotels? Can ask offline but the real travel pro's are on these boards anyway.
However, if AA would one day decide to risk a nonstop LHR - MCO flight, they'd have steady customers in people like myself who depend on short haul connections not really offered at LGW at the moment.
I've stayed at the Hilton Gatwick South Terminal, and I've also stayed in the City and used the Gatwick Express after staying overnight near Victoria station. The Hilton must have been useful, but apparently it wasn't memorable - negatively or positively.
