Hotel near but not at Heathrow with parking

I'm taking my elderly mum away for a few days but on our return we arrive quite late and since booking I've found out I need to be in London the next day for work anyway, but not till later in the afternoon.
So the plan is to arrive back, take the car out of the (already booked) meet and greet parking, and drive to a hotel nearby where I can get a tube into Central London after a leisurely breakfast, and she can drive home which she is fine to do if we are near a junction and if it's daylight (she doesn't fancy the drive on her own at night).

I am struggling to find a hotel that has parking on site and is not too far from a tube station. She can drive me to the tube but we'd rather not go more than a few mins at night. Husband suggested Uxbridge but I feel it's a tiny bit too far.

I found the Ibis but all searches for parking come up with long stay parking. Premier Inn near J4 of the M4 has "limited parking on a first come first served basis". Beyond that we are talking £100/night for Hilton Garden Inn etc.

Any ideas we haven't thought of? Or knowledge about parking?

Thanks! Flowers

Mercure at Hayes. You can get a train into London from hayes and harlington (not tube but frequent GW trains)

Thanks! With parking is £93 and without is £53 but I suppose that's just what you pay for parking?

Premier Inn at Staines. It has parking in a well lit car park (technically owned by the nearby shopping centre but no one really uses it) and is a few min walk to the train station. It takes around 35-40 mins to get to Waterloo depending on which train you get and there are at least four an hour, more in the peak.

There’s plenty of places to eat in Staines and a few ok shops.

Travel lodge at T5 is right on the M25 junction.

Premier Inn T5 usually has plenty of parking.

Thanks all, maybe I'm just being overly nervous about the parking not being bookable.

Premier Inn Camberly is a bargain and 25 mins from Heathrow.

My parents have stayed in the Premier Inn J4 and have never had an issue parking. There is a Novotel and Holiday Inn at the same junction.

None of them on a tube line though.

Uxbridge has a PI with parking. Around 10 mins walk to station.

DM says she'll be OK dropping me at the tube in the morning so I think the J4 is a good option. Thanks all!

There’s plenty of parking at the T4 one, from what I remember.

Honeyroar · 17/03/2022 22:19

Which terminal are you flying into? Traffic can be busy around the J4 one (on the Bath rd?). Would she be ok with that?

Premier Inn Ruislip has a bus service direct to Heathrow, takes 30 minutes

Heathrow T2 and T3 Bath Road. Cheap. Ample parking even though it says limited. Bus stop across the road with buses that will take you to Hounslow West tube if you want to get the tube in.

To add to this, alternatively she can drop you off at Hatton Cross tube.

Holiday Inn Slough-Windsor maybe.

Next to the M4. 15 min drive from Heathrow.

Parking

5 min drive to Slough station which has fast trains to Paddington in under 20 mins.

Just noticed I forgot the important bit that I'm referring to the Premier Inn!

Well first she said she's OK driving me to a tube and since then she's changed her mind twice so I'm moving us to the T2/3 Premier InnHmm
