The Merrydale Hotel

Myum and I stayed in flat 4. On arrival, Angela seemed friendly and informed us of where everything was. The metre had 4 pounds in it already and we just paid 7 for extra linen. The apartment was quite spacious and the heating was warm. There is one plug in the bedroom under the bed. To be honest, it was cleaned to a standard, but was a little itchy as the bed setee had a slight hole in. Could have done with a bath or shower but it was tiny and the bathroom smelt a bit. A new carpet and upgrade is definitely required. Beds quite comfy. It has a sign which says to respect others staying but at 5am heard drunken knocking. Went back to sleep, but mum up earlier. At 8.30, had to go across from flat to bathroom and a lad with a gray hoodie looking up, so not much privacy. On leaving, we rang the bell and no one answered. Not sure why, so left keys in the door. Would have scored more if bathroom was better as we like clean places. Thank you.

Dreadful. Filthy, smelly, disorganised, way overpriced. We had booked this well in advance, but on arrival we found our booking was lost, he offered to set a room up for us but just the look and smell of the place and the scruffy and incompetent owner made our decision to cancel very easy. He wanted to charge us £50 per night, we would not have stayed even for a tenth of that. Found a wonderful place nearby at a similar price, which I will be giving a glowing review later.

I normally check places on TripAdvisor but this was last minute and the only available room in skegness on what was a very busy weekend. Communication with the owner prior to arriving was excellent pity the room didn't match. Was told on arriving that the bar restaurant was closed due to being decorated (Not a problem) , supplied with 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel between 2 people, half a dozen half empty shampoos in bathroom, cold tap that ran constantly, tv with no remote, bedroom door that was impossible to close quietly. Location is the only thing that this place has going for it.I now know why we were the only guests.
