All this with a 2 year old.


Should we even consider at hotel?...We are thinking to just have baby sleep in her stroller, if we can get her to... considering we have maybe 3 hours tops, before we start making our way through security again.

I did see they have a Yotel at LGW, but $145 for 3 hours seems a bit excessive, but maybe I should bite.
Any other suggestions from seasoned travelers here would be so greatly appreciated.
As a "seasoned traveler" (maybe "salty" would be more accurate ), I wouldn't have booked it that way.
But since you have, if it was me, I'd plunk down that $145 in a heartbeat. Three hours in a quiet, non- public space will do wonders for all three of you, whether you sleep or not.
Enjoy your trip!
