10:24um grab the shower shower's good good night's sleep um we're gonna go and grab some breakfast now
10:32no i mean i'm a little bit nervous because we're we know we stay in premier inns we're like a premier
10:38in breakfast we've not had a travel lunch breakfast before um how much are the breakfast amber um ten pound
10:4645 and it's a pound a child okay so comparing that to premier in so if you stayed there you get two
10:54children free per paying adult so uh yeah let's go and check out this breakfast
11:03breakfast so this is the breakfast you got fruit there you've got teas and coffees you can make
11:13yourself some toast you got your cereal here you've got lovely croissants american pancakes
11:22this is your hot food so you've got bacon there a couple of sausage hash browns tomatoes mushrooms and your beans
11:35so i'm gonna go and make myself some of that food and uh go sit down
11:42so i'm halfway through my breakfast so far i'm really enjoying it i haven't actually
11:48eating the bacon here but uh it looks nice the beans are nice
11:57that's good um i've gone for a drink like i normally have a black coffee but i've gone for
12:03orange but i've actually got orange and apple in it oh yeah it's like weirdly nice no it was like a mix
12:13on it it's on the last so yeah i highly recommend you trying that uh it's unusual
12:22yeah so i'm gonna come in and join this breakfast and uh see in a few minutes
12:26so do you know what we've had a really really good time here at the travel lodge here in skegness
12:34um with the breakfast i really did enjoy it the only downside i couldn't get a coffee uh the machine
12:42weren't working um also the barista machines wasn't on as well um my only kind of thing is maybe in the
12:50future maybe add if well if anyone does watch from um travel lodge have two of them machines because
12:58it makes it a lot easier if one goes down you've got another one on yeah um have you got anything to
13:03say amber no i have thoroughly enjoyed it probably the location is really nice um it's right on like
13:11the seafront and it's got really nice views obviously we've opted for a super room so i'm not too
13:19sure the other rooms how their views differ from that but where we were located was really nice
13:27and i've really enjoyed it all the staff have been really attentive really friendly
13:34and i really enjoy the breakfast i do well we are enjoying always enjoy the breakfasts don't we so
13:41yeah yeah um should we tell them about the price yeah go on then yeah so we have paid for our
13:49stay for the super family room it was 118 pound for one night now i did have to pay because when i
13:58booked it i booked the wrong date did actually make me pay 10 pound charge to change the date i'm not
14:05too sure why but we didn't need to change the date so i had to pay 10 pounds so overall we paid 128
14:11so we will put the invoice in now i do know their prices have changed significantly since we we've
14:19booked um and i know we've put a post on facebook which has received a lot of um negative negative
14:29comments which we weren't comment on i know people have their opinions on this hotel but we've enjoyed our
14:36stay and i just want to put it out there that we do we do come to skegness and we do support a lot of
14:43local people in the area and it's just easier for us and for dolly to stay um at travel lodge so yeah yeah
14:53also um apparently there's a holiday in partly but it meant to be getting built at some point so let me know
15:00whether you think that's a good thing or a bad thing um it's nice to get other people's opinions
