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.

Very satisfactory stay

I had a large good room with an ensuite. The hotel is located very close to the beach and to town. I was on a work trip and it was the off season so the hotel was quiet. For the price I paid I feel the hotel provided a great stay. Really good WiFi.
