Reviews for County Hotel
Review 1：Fabulously friendly welcome by someone who then remembered our names at breakfast the next day. Very good breakfast. Room is dated but warm, clean and comfortable.
Review 2：Poor shower water flow over bath. Many disabled people would prefer a shower tray and a shower that was effective. Climbing into a bath without sufficient hand rails is a trip too far for many aged people.
Review 3：Value for money.
Review 4：Really Liked the hote.I personally did not quite like the mix of modern period furnishings.fully understand but if turned back close to original it would be stunning.
Review 5：Nice clean hotel. very pleasant staff really made welcome.amazing period mirrors on stairways.
Review 6：The place was spotlessly clean,it was also very warm.The staff were pleasant and helpful,the breakfast was lovely( + hot!)The location is dead central,5 minute walk to everything.

Review 14：The whole experience including value for money, friendliness & helpfulness of management & staff, our room (19), ease of parking, in fact, we enjoyed our experience so much that we stayed for an extra night! The food was lovely & plentiful but we missed breakfast because the bed was so comfortable! This was our first visit to Skegness and our first stay at the County Hotel - we loved it so much that we will definitely be back. We arrived too late for dinner on Sunday night but were pleasantly surprised to find that Ross reduced our bill for the meal that wasn't taken - thanks Ross. Thank you all for a lovely and relaxing break. Sue & Rik.
Review 15：Avery warm and jolly welcome when arriving. The Manager was very helpful when booking in. Plenty of entertainment at the Hotel, which was in a good location for the Towns facilities. The food was excellent and plentiful. Will definitely have a return visit.

Review 65：We can't fault anything.

The room was traditional and in keeping with the County Hotels history and it was absolutely spotlessly clean. Bed was really comfortable too and we had a great nights sleep. Our free upgrade to a sea view room was brilliant and the view was breathtaking. Breakfast was cooked to perfection. We will definitely return.

Review 69：The welcome by Ross was great and the rest of the staff were very friendly. Got upgraded to a seaview room which was lovely.

Review 70：Loved it all :-)
Review 71：Couldn't find fault, lovely room, staff couldn't do enough especially Ross and Wendy. Nice breakfast and fantastic location with free parking.
Review 72：Lift was out of order but that is nobody's fault.
Review 73：Staff are nice.manager is great,even helps out at breakfast.seafront location with a large FREE car park.
Review 74：Friendly & helpful staff at this very well located hotel. Only a short walk to the main part of the town yet far enough away to be regarded as relatively quiet.
Review 75：Have stayed in smaller b&b's and have had far better breakfasts ( thicker toast ) for instance . The lift should work well if people read the instructions of use but 2times while on our stay it was abused having to walk 3 flights of stairs with bad knees not good.carpark could have a better layout.
Review 76：Bed and pillows, clean bathroom, decent working shower, stayed 2 nights so we could be close to theatre.
Review 77：After reading booklet in our room, advertising extensive menu, we decided to eat in the bar on first night. Menu in fact was same as restaurant and very limited. Went to order sweet at 7:10pm, (Bar food served until 7:30pm according to booklet), and was told, apologetically, they stopped serving at 7:00pm. A notice to this effect on the bar would have helped!! This was the only mishap on an otherwise most enjoyable stay.
Review 78：Staff were very friendly and helpful. Loved the lift.
Review 79：Over bath shower connected to taps (no pressure)
Review 80：Style (Art Deco) of the Hotel and the original features. Even the 80 year old lift was an experience. Ross (Manager) was also very friendly
Review 81：Very friendly staff Food was fresh, varied and plentiful. Beds were really comfy with pillows you could sink into, lovely. With easy access car park

Review 83：Decor a little dated would of been nice to sit outside and have a drink
Review 84：Manager exceptionally friendly and helpful great breakfast fantastic location great value for money
Review 85：As a young couple we only wanted somewhere to sleep really, but as we got there we were greeted by a lovely friendly member of staff. Room was lovely and the food. Definitely coming again
Review 86：The politeness of staff, and was a bit cheeky when I asked if I could put my car in the car park some six hours before we were due to check in(saved paying nearby car park charges)and was more than happy to oblige.
Review 87：There wasn't anything.
Review 88：The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was lovely. The room was clean. The room was spacious and had plenty of room for our toddler to play.
Review 89：Perhaps some areas could use a coat of paint.
Review 90：The staff and particulally the General Manager where very helpful . The hotel is a traditional seaside hotel and much used by its regular guests. Really nice to see that skegness still have this type of esablishment.
Review 91：one down side which would alter some peoples opinions is if some wallpaper in some of the rooms was stuck back peeling wallpaper doesn't look good.
Review 92：The staff are all friendly nothing is to much trouble for Ross the manager.
Review 93：Unfortunately Skegness has become a 'stag / hen' destination and this encroaches on all the hotels etc
Review 94：The staff were so friendly and efficient. Although very busy the breakfast staff were excellent and breakfast was served very quickly. The manager with the lovely Scottish accent greeted us whenever we saw him and the bar man / night manager, was The barman/ night Manager was also brilliant, although had an unfortunate allegiance to a 'Piggy' football club. Thanks for the banter.
Review 95：No outdoor furniture on balcony which was a pity as it would have been nice to sit there in the evening as no outside seating at hotel. Plastic 'glasses' in room. Tired looking decoration in room.
Review 96：All staff were excellent, so welcoming and courteous. Breakfast beautifully cooked. Room clean.
Review 97：The hotel staff could not do enough to help, the manager was friendly and accommodating. We were allowed to use the carpark prior to booking in time, and the cost of the room including breakfast was very reasonable. Breakfast was lovely with a great choice of foods!
Review 98：No room incar park. They took the money for the room long before we arrived which they are not supposed to do. They did not want to give us a travel cot
Review 99：Breakfast

Review 101：Nice friendly staff, good location and parking, good breakfast, old fashioned lift.
Review 102：just a moan on my side. It would have been nice for some where to sit outside for the smokers. But I know you don't have to cater for this.
Review 103：food very good and great value for what you pay for.
Review 104：Alas the quality of the ingredient's at breakfast were poor(possibly trimmed down to fit the room rate) and this was a disappointment.
Review 105：The building was interesting and many art deco features have been retained. The staff without exception were superb and the room comfortable. Excellent value for money.
Review 106：Minor irritation - free wifi did not reach my room. However, it was available in public areas but I think it should be in all rooms as well.
Review 107：A comfortable hotel at a very good price. It is a short walk from Skegness Town Centre and has its own Car Park. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Review 108：all staff were very friendly and help full. breakfast and evening meals were really good room was great. really lovely stay looking forward to next stay there.
Review 109：Very friendly management and staff nothing was too much trouble it seemed, booked in earlier than expected, extended car parking offered for following day, room spotless and appeared to have new bed linen. Free upgrade to seaview room was appreciated, room décor/fittings a little tired but otherwise provided all that was required. Plenty of tea/coffee etc . Breakfast was excellent and service second to none, I will definitely be staying overnight again when next at the theatre.
