Planning a holiday should be an exciting experience, and our recent trip to Florida started off on the right foot with the ideal combination of an overnight stay at the Crowne Plaza Felbridge and the convenience of APH parking near Gatwick Airport.

We were invited to stay at the modern Crowne Plaza Felbridge, where the friendly and helpful staff made us feel at home from the moment we walked through the doors. The bedrooms were perfect for families, with ample space and comfortable beds that allowed everyone to rest up before our early flight. The hotel’s on-site dining options were also impressive, offering delicious food and a wide range of drinks at the bar to get us in the holiday mood.

The real gamechanger for us, however, was booking long-stay parking with APH. Since we had an early departure from Gatwick, we wanted a smooth process that minimised stress, and APH delivered exactly that. Driving to the car park was incredibly easy, and the system was seamless. Upon arrival, the gate automatically recognised the number plate we had entered during our online booking and opened for us. We simply drove in, unloaded our luggage, and dropped the car keys at the reception desk. After showing our ID and booking reference, the friendly staff handed us a card with a number to call when we landed back from our trip, ensuring they would have the car prepared for us on our return.

From there, we hopped onto a shuttle bus that took roughly 15 minutes to reach Gatwick Airport. The bus driver was incredibly helpful, assisting with loading and unloading our luggage, which made the transition from car to plane as easy as possible. Knowing our car was secure and that everything was arranged for our return gave us peace of mind as we began our holiday.

Choosing to stay at the Crowne Plaza Felbridge and use APH long-stay parking ensured a calm and restful start to our Florida adventure. Not only did we avoid the typical rush of getting to the airport on time, but the seamless parking process and thoughtful preparation for our return made the experience stress-free. For anyone flying out of Gatwick, especially on an early flight, this combination of convenient hotel accommodation and reliable parking is a winning formula that sets the tone for a relaxing holiday.
