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.

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.
