Pros:

Room was clean and bed comfortable.
Having the restaurant by the side with breakfasts was a plus before adventuring out.
Fire alarm went off and we got up to discover it was a false alarm, it would have been nice for an employee to go around to tell occupants. It may have been impossible for them though as there are 92 rooms ? Front desk personnel always polite and informative except for the fire alarm!

Okay but if you get room 1 … move because the washing machines are the room above you.
Pros:

Stay here for two week course?
Rooms okay;bath rooms and windows need upgrading. Windows weren’t great;inner ones were the slider ones which didn’t keep the cold out…
Bath room well,need a paint need toilet rolls not a tissues box on the wall? 😆
Heating was a massive air con unit one the wall 🤔 …

Always a pleasure - clean, friendly and reliable
Pros:

Bed was very comfortable and clean as always, found it very easy to fall asleep as it is generally very quiet at this hotel. Seems like they were working on the wifi finally which is much appreciated as a returning guest at this hotel! Something that is always great is that the staff always ensures that we have extra towels and drinking glasses already in the room before our arrival which i appreciate a lot as its something I usually require when staying at a hotel. Overall always good to be in such a quiet area of lincoln which isnt too far from the centre. Only suggestion is that the hotel communal areas require a refurb some day but ofcourse that cannot be done overnight.

Worst Premier Inn We have Visited.
Pros:

Never had a problem with Premier Inn and always look forward to their breakfast. We've just stayed at Lincoln Canwick. If there is a worse Premier Inn, I hope I never visit it. Grotty room; breakfast, when you were lucky enough to get anything, was appalling; just about everything ran out, be it bread, juice, or butter, and the wait for replenishment was interminable. The cooked breakfast, when available, was undercooked as the staff struggled to keep up. In fact, there was not enough staff for the number of guests. We wanted to complain at reception, but no one was there. Never again.

Good location but not the best overall
Pros:

Stayed at lots of Premier Inns previously. Room and hotel as expected. Friendly staff. Temp controls in the room were not working.
Breakfast booked in advance and unfortunately was the worst experience we have had in many years of using Premier inn. Only 2 staff working so was impossible for them to keep everything replenished. Had to wait 25mins to be seated and then waited for everything....clean cups, plates, hot food, juice and milk. They had no jam or croissants. Very poor.

Helpful staff, your experience may vary depending on which room you get.
Pros:

Firstly I couldn't fault the staff - very helpful and friendly. Car parking can get short on busy days so arriving early is a must.
The hotel has been extended multiple times from its original construction we stayed in room 11 for our first stay (original building) and room 28 for our second (c. 2007/8 extension)
Our first stay was fine, no complaints, but our second really pushes home the need for Whitbread to update & refurbish this tired part of the building. It's very dated, with just one plug by the bed (city centre Prem. Inn has a plug with USB ports either side of the bed) the metal bath in the bathroom is showing signs of rust, the bath sealant is curling back and the general lighting in the room could be improved but one big positive that made us come back to Canwick over the City Centre Prem. Inn was the fact you can open the windows (albeit just a little bit) rather than just relying on air conditioning alone.
The food is ok but expensive, avoid upgrades. The drinks are unlimited refills but you need to request the refill - you're best off going to the bar directly rather than wait for table service

The most worn- out and damp Premier Inn I have stayed at
Pros:

Lincoln Canwick hotel. Room 30
Worn out room, lots of loose bits and pieces.
Toilet did not flush properly
Freezing cold ... and filthy fan heater so did not dare use (too many diseases in there).
Bed initially felt as cold as though no-one had used it for months.
After a while in bed it began to feel damp as well
Got home next day - wife immediately smelled the robe - "this stinks of damp"
This is not a matter of a "cold night" - it is clearly a serious error that appears to have been tried to cover up with a pungent smell of mens' deodorant prior to my arrival.
YUK!

basic
Pros:

The room i had was good, but the hotel is very run down & needs a refurbishment. The staff were great & think the guy during the night was Jason. He was friendly and helped me with a slight problem/issue.
A good location, just outside the city. Fine for a short stay in general.

Eat elsewhere
Pros:

Hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly.
Recommend using the Bomber Command cafe for breakfast rather than the Beefeater. We ate in both and the food was better and the surroundings much more pleasant at the Centre, which is only 5 minutes walk away and opens at 9.30.

Good location. Friendly helpful staff
Pros:

You get what you expect albeit, at an average £150 per night for a twin room, at a price. One duvet had large stains on it visible through the duvet cover but this was quickly sorted with apologies. All you can eat cooked breakfast was £10.99 per head in addition and selection was good. Well located just off the ring road and just on the edge of the city on a main route in. Room was clean and comfortable and beds comfy. The basic free WiFi was painfully slow but the better service internet came at a price which I wasn’t prepared to pay. In this day and age charging for WiFi is poor.
