Family Rooms, accommodating up to two children, are normally the same price as a room for two people.
There are several Premier Inn hotels at Gatwick Airport. The Premier Inn Gatwick North Terminal is the closest to the passenger terminals.
The Premier Inn London Gatwick (A23 Airport Way) is within sight of the North Terminal about 500m away and can be walked to as well, though most take the hotel bus for which there is a charge. Room rates here are normally cheaper than the Premier Inn North Terminal, walking you have top cross a busy road and use a narrow bumpy footpath. The hotel bus is not complementary.
