It is not a 4 star as advertised i dont see how it gets a 1 star it is shocking
Pros:

Nothing checked out with 15 mins of arriving

Cons:

Everything looks like a grand hotel that should have been refurbished 20 years ago - it is unfit for purpose, it’s dirty its old the carpets have holes the beds have stained the wallpapers hanging off the walls it’s a joke it really is.

Pros:

Everything
there were facilities for me to charge my mobility scooter. They gave me permission to park on the car park for several hours after I had checked out. The room and breakfast were fabulous. and I have already booked again to stay in that same room later in the year. The best stay I have ever had in Skegness (and there have been many).

Cons:

Having to go home!
