Stansted Hotels With Long Term Parking

Guidelines To Finding The Right Stansted Accommodation With Parking For You

Author: Bob Handford

Stansted Airport Hotels With Parking can offer exceptional value for money. These hotel and parking packages at Stansted can offer substantial savings to purchasing hotel and car parking separately, on a few occasions the package has been cheaper than just buying the long term car parking!.

The large chain hotels use parking deals to fill empty beds, in many cases (especially the Hilton Hotel Stansted) the parking is at little or no extra charge to a room only rate at slack periods.

The Radisson Blu Stansted has also become very popular for hotel and parking packages. This is arguably the most luxurious hotel at Stansted and is conveniently situated adjacent to the passenger terminal - the only Stansted hotel that doesn't need a bus transfer. At the Radisson you can leave your car at the hotel and simply walk next door to your check-in desk, the ultimate in convenience.

To make an informed hotel choice at Stansted Airport you should understand:

• There is only one hotel where you get the option to leave your car at the hotel and do not need to get a transfer vehicle to get to check-in.. This is the Radisson Blu Stansted where you simply walk from the hotel into the passenger terminal next door. The Radisson Blu is the most luxurious and also most expensive hotel at Stansted Airport

• Unlike many other airports there is not a great choice of parking options at Stansted. The official long and mid-tem car parks at Stansted dominate long term car parking at Stansted. The cheapest hotel and parking options are normally, but not always those where your vehicle is held at the hotel rather than using the specialist car parks. Bear in mind that the hotel car parking may well incur extra charges for transfers to the passenger terminals, whilst those from the specialist car parks have free shuttles. The specialist car parks shuttles run 24x7, the hotel shuttles seldom do. Also the specialist car parks have high levels of security in the car park, a hotels car park may not have the same level of security.

• Rates for hotel and parking packages are very seasonal with the cost in winter months much cheaper than the summer. Best value is if you are away for 1 or 2 weeks. Most of the hotels just use car parking deals as a marketing tool to fill otherwise empty rooms. If you are parking for a very short period or long period or are travelling at a very busy period when a hotel may think it can fill their hotel without people on car park packages, it may be cheaper to buy hotel and parking separately.

• Most hotels are isolated in the middle of nowhere with little if no shops or restaurants in the immediate vicinity and no public transport. You will probably depend on the hotel for food and drink consumed. The Radisson has the retail outlets in the passenger terminal next door. Both the Premier inn and the Holiday inn Express have a McDonald's also in front of their hotels.

Stansted Airport Hotel & Car Parking Deals

At the moment there is an oversupply of hotel rooms at Stansted Airport with a few large chain hotels recently opening at the same time as passenger numbers through Stansted have declined. Good news for the consumer seeking value for money.

Currently the market falls into 3 distinct categories:

Cheapest Deals At Independent Hotels With Car Parking On-Site :

The cheapest deals in terms of headline price you will be quoted are at small independent hotels with car parking on-site or under the control of the hotel. You will have to pay for transfers to and from the passenger terminals which obviously adds to the total price and the security of where your car is stored may not be to the same standard as the airport's own long term car parks.

The De Salis Hotel Stansted and Warman's Barn Hotel Stansted fall into this category.

Budget Chain Hotel With Car Parking At The Airport's Long Term Car Park :

The Premier inn Stansted and the Holiday Inn Express Stansted are both located next to each other and both offer solid accommodation with none of the frills that many people do not use or want.

Both of these hotels use the official long term car parks at Stansted for the parking component of the deal, using the car park's free shuttles that run 24x7 to get you to and from the passenger terminals.

Full Service Luxury Hotels :

The Radisson Blu Stansted and Hilton Stansted Airport are the two luxury hotels offering the spacious lounges, room service and other frills at Stansted. Both offer hotel and car parking deals. Both offer subject to availability either car parking at the hotel or at the airport's long term car park.

The Radisson Blu Stansted is the only hotel that you can walk into the passenger terminal from so is unique in offering an option that doesn't require any passenger terminal shuttle bus.
