Stansted Hotels with Gym

We needed to use Ryan Air ( dreading return) for flight to be at Stanstead Airport. We decided the reasonable priced Novotel close to Airport. However, it far enough that a cab right would have cost £25 each way. We gladly took a shuttle for £4 ea way for each person. Just 10 min ride and bus comes goes every 30 min. We where happy the hotel informed us the shuttle starts at 3 AM, we had enough time to get to airport on time. The check in was fairly easy and quick. We asked if a sauna be at hotel, sadly only a gym. The room was exceptional clean, matress excellent and towels spotless like the linen later even crisp. Good choice. Had dinner at the hotel restaurant. A bit pricy like all of London and particular at an Airport Hotel, however, both dishes where outstanding, much so to let the staff know. Getting up at 2:15, had coffee ( tea) provided in room, easy check out just dropping key cards into lockbox and made the 3 AM Shuttle. I can highly recommend the hotel, service and restaurant. Definitely worth the money.
