Best Western The Vine Hotel

Stayed just one night after a casual day wandering around Skegness. Skegness (seaside, pier & town centre) is the full on.British seaside experience (rock, donkeys, arcades, lots of naughty food, groups drinking and over excitable kids) but can be a little overwhelming so wanted to book a bit of calm to compensate. The BW Vine was only 5 minutes drive from the pier Purposely booked Room 23/Honeymoon suite as looked incredibly spacious and separate lounge leading off its own short corridor which seemed a bargain for the Saturday night price of £120. Clean with a contemporary boutiquey style decor, kingsize bed, luxury bedding, blackout blinds, heated tile rail, underfloor lighting etc With a few extra little 4 star touches/upgrades (biscuits, complete toiletries, worn carpet patch repaired, accessories/personality in the bathroom id have easily paid £150 -£160 per night. Corridors decor was outdated and didn't seem.in sync with the other rooms, restaurant etc but this may be work.in progress. No lift as 18th C building but plenty of assistance to.take bags up. Outside space was huge and quiet. Really wished we'd been able to book a dining pod (private outside wooden pods that seat up to.10, complete with soft furnishings, somewhere to.play music etc) Every staff member we interacted with were so welcoming and genuinely pleasant. The bars were busy with reasonably priced and sized wine list and the restaurant looked lovely (although unfortunately I didn't eat there). Id definitely come back less

To have beef, there is another £1 charge when this is a normal choice in most other restaurants. Beef was fair but beer gravy was too strong and drowned other flavours. Roast potatoes were rock hard.yorkshire pudding dry and tough.A bit pricey for an average meal. Good service and friendly staff. less

Stayed for a week on business. Caused them untold grief with a million and one requests from them and they didn't even bat an eyelid. The most wonderful, friendly and just all round lovely staff you could ever wish for. They're never too busy, even when they quite clearly are. Only wish I could take them with me. Glynis, Toni, Tony, Jess, Lukas, Alina and everyone else...Just a great big thank you. I would've cracked up without you (and had no cast!) less

We have stayed in this hotel previously but not for some time. Although this was only a one night stay, it brought back happy memories. The check in was well organised and, although there was a problem with the room we were originally allocated, the very pleasant receptionist was most apologetic and speedily and efficiently checked us in to another room. This was spacious, comfortable and had lovely decor. We only used the restaurant for breakfast but this was freshly cooked and served by a friendly and attentive waitress. Another of the receptionists handled our check out and again, was very efficient and apologetic regarding the problem we encountered. One minor criticism, relates to workmen arriving in the morning to fit replacement windows. Whilst recognising that properties need maintenance, prior warning of this would have been appreciated as there was some noise. However, I would like to congratulate the team for their attentiveness. less
