I had a terrible experience, I stayed for 2 weeks. My room was extremely dated, no mini fridge or coffee maker, my room was dirty, the phone had an inch of grim on it, when I arrived the bathroom light was burnt out and then my bathroom lights and hallway light stopped working entirely. The cleaning staff never provided clean glassware my entire stay and never cleaned my toilet. The ONLY good thing about this hotel is the restaurant on the main floor. This is hands down the worst hotel I have ever stayed at.
From check-in to check-out everything was lovely. The room was large & clean with 2 double beds. The hotel was modern,staff friendly & breakfast was excellent on both days. The location of the hotel was excellent & there was parking at £10 per day. We will definitely return to Lincoln,a great weekend.
Comfortable room and attractive public areas.
Great location with parking.

Room clean, but very dated. Bathroom modern with modern shower with lots hot water. Had to askfor room change as only tiny tiny window, in alcove in first room. Was staying over Xmas. Staff very professional and friendly. Came back early Boxing Day as car park filled up, I got the last place. When I asked, the receptionist told me I would get my money back if no parking spaces.

The room was fine. A couple of very small maintenance issues but it didn't cause any problems. Staff were so kind and attentive, especially in the restaurant. First time staying in this hotel and hopefully not the last
Excellent location walking distance to everything we wanted. Stated here twice will stay again, lovely comfy place and rooms very clean, very kind staff cannot fault anything. Xmas party nights here are great

The staff are always helpful and friendly at this hotel. The service is consistent and rooms clean.
Breakfasts are buffet style and are excellent.
Didn't have breakfast there.
Room was terrible dated and very basic and over a carpark but the worst of it all was the extremely uncomfortable springy bed.
I don't expect to pay what we did for the rubbish bed we got I would let me dog sleep on it it was so uncomfortable
Come home with a bad back.

The staff were very friendly. Last minute I had to change my arrangements and the staff accommodated this which I was grateful for as the hotel was busy at this time of year. The room was clean and comfortable. As was the restaurant and bar. Not too much noise so enjoyed a good sleep. Perfect location and would stay again. The only thing I would say is that the water pressure and temperature in the shower are not great. Other than that was a great stay. Thank you

The first issue was the lack of a bath that was clearly photographically advertised on your website. It was the entire reason for choosing that room and the Holiday Imm told us we needed to request it señerately. Very naughty of you to put that photo up. Secondly. The room smelled of dog. The bathroom door had a huge hole in it. The wall was ripped over the bed and the shower was in need of a deep clean. It was a big part of our stay and was the worst part of it.
Very peaceful stay, considering it was Christmas party/event weekend. Excellent location, walking distance to all the attractions, pubs, bars and restaurants. The room and bathroom were perfect sizes, spotless with good lighting and extra mirrors. Love the toiletries (nice scent and no irritation). Fluffy and soft towels. Good wardrobe space with good steam iron/board. Good hairdryer. Extra coat hooks. Good seating space. Very comfortable bedding. Good room temperature. Good selection of Samsung TV channels including Sky news and Film4. Excellent tea/coffee station/ biscuit selection and love the complementary fridge items. Buffet breakfast was excellent. Excellent selection of beverages and food, cooked to perfection. All staff were friendly and polite. Extremely satisfied with our stay.
