Return Visitor
Pros:

Good, safe, quiet location (I didn't mind the train line at all). Lovely bird song and great facilities nearby for food.

Cons:

I'm a return customer; I suffer from a spinal injury and my main criticism is that this time I found the mattress in my room was far too soft, which didn't provide enough support and aggravated my spinal condition.

Excellent overnight stay
Pros:

We were greeted warmly at reception and given our key. The room was clean as was the bathroom, although having arthritis in my hands, I found the soap dispensers hard to use. It was a very quick overnight stay with an early out in the morning so we did not have chance to try the breakfast.

Staff were great but had better accommodation in other places
Pros:

Had all we needed, was clean. Breakfast was fab and staff friendly

Cons:

We found the bar drinks quite expensive compared to where we live and also compared to other places in Lincoln.
Room was cold until you were able to put card in slot and adjust temperature which took a long time to heat
