Room was terrible Bed was uncomfortable, shower was freezing cold unable to use. Kettle we couldn’t fill up and it was dirty and limescale was floating around. Pillows hard and lumpy. Litter left under unit and tea stains on window ledge. Breakfast was lovely disappointed there was no orange juice.

Clean comfortable beds

Beds were clean and very comfortable. The lady on reception was very polite and helpful. Easy to get parked. The cost is very much on par with what you get. We just needed somewhere to lay our heads that’s not too far from the town centre (8 minute walk). Would stay here again. Thanks very much :)

Hot Skeggy

A decent week in a very hot Skegness, in a room that got the sun all afternoon. The shower was no bigger then a Phone Box & being a big Northern Lad found it a tight squeez.

I was really impressed with my room. It was also very clean. Bed was comfortable. Staff were brilliant upon arrival and also when i departed. Only negative feedback i give is i don't think they should charge customers for wanting to leave their luggage on day of departure. Customers who don't drive will more than likely want to leave luggage somewhere safe but i feel like this service should be free.

Great location

We had a weekend stay in Monsell Hotel in a ground floor twin room which was great for mum as she has problem with stairs. The hotel is well located only a 10 minute stroll from the clock tower, shops & beach just a little further. The hotel is clean & has basic amenities, the staff are welcoming & friendly.
