Disappointing value for money
Pros:

It was central to Lincoln right on the harbour.

Cons:

We had issues with the room as a general - king room upgrade with a bed as hard as rocks, the window didn’t have the ability to open and looked onto nothing behind the hotel. The bathroom was a decent size but you can’t actually stand up in the shower properly, even at 5ft4 petite I still had to stand side on - would have got stuck in the bath had I wanted to have one. The sink unit was dirty and hasn’t been wiped. There were silverfish on the bathroom floor. Additionally the aircon/heating system didn’t work as it was permanently on. Meaning the night was spent awake fluctuating the temperature to be comfortable

It was ok but can’t say that I would return to that hotel
Pros:

Close to the downtown area & staff were excellent

Cons:

The room’s ventilation system was very noisy & sleep was virtually impossible…unfortunately the hotel was fully booked so we couldn’t be moved to another room.

I won’t be staying again
Pros:

Primarily the location. Everyone who worked there were welcoming and the breakfast was delicious.

Cons:

The room was not clean and a bit shabby - I used to stay in Hilton hotels on a regular basis in my previous job and have never experienced this before. I had planned to have a nice long soak in the bath but ended up not even having a shower due to the state of the bathroom in particular. Disappointing as hoped the experience to be a bit luxury time away from home….. There are a lot more photos but I can only attach 4.

Great location, but everything else was a disappointment
Pros:

The lication

Cons:

The hotels car park was a great disappointment
Apart from the fact that it’s third-party managed, very tight spaces, is very awkward very dark and very expensive.
I didn’t like the fact that within this price rate not even a bottle of water was available in the room
The bathtub and accessories were very difficult to use as well.
First time I’ve seen the showerhead cord nailed to the wall, not allowing any flexibility
Try work walking on the carpets with white socks.
They don’t stay white for long. That will explain the cleanliness.
Also, no soundproofing… Anything happening in the corridors could clearly be heard in the room.

Ignore review, I didn't actually get there!
Pros:

This is not a review to use, I was unable to stay and despite trying to change the date within 24 hours of booking I could not, lesson learned to make sure I book a hotel stay where I can move or cancel if necessary.

Cons:

Thus place could be lovely, I don't know!
