Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were comfortable but could have used more light and maintenance, while the service was friendly but inconsistent. Its location was excellent for exploring Lincoln. The dining experience had its flaws, and the facilities were decent overall.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, but the carpet was a bit hazardous for someone with poor mobility. The service was friendly and approachable. The location was excellent with beautiful views of the cathedral, but there were occasional issues with smoke smell and missing items. The dining options varied from excellent to average. The hotel had some positives but also a couple of drawbacks to consider.
The hotel offers a direct view of the Cathedral, and for those considering a visit to Lincoln, it might fall short compared to other options like the Holiday Inn which is slightly cheaper, spotlessly clean, and located on the waterfront with bars and restaurants. The room, though small and lacking a wardrobe, had coat hangers on the wall. The cleanliness was questionable with hairs in the bath, dust on the floor, and hair around the door edges. However, the location is excellent for city center access and provides a direct view of the Cathedral. Be aware that the room might need a makeover to match its Deluxe category status.
The hotel is in a convenient location near Lincoln Cathedral and a variety of bars and restaurants. The rooms are outdated and in need of redecorating, and the breakfast left much to be desired in terms of quality and service. However, the staff were attentive and went above and beyond to assist, making our stay more enjoyable.
