Tired and run down

Hotel not what it looks like on the website, very tired and dated, shower was terrible, hotel is in need of a refurb, we weren’t told about the paid parking until we checked out, had we had know we would have parked elsewhere! Service was with a don’t care attitude, would not recommend and would not stay again! This is not a budget hotel at over £150 per night we expected so much more, very disappointed.

The Lincoln Hotel was perfectly positioned for our 4 day break in Lincoln, directly opposite tge cathedral. Having an onsite car park was a also a key factor. We had a nice Sunday lunch in the hotel when we arrived on Sunday.

A fine if not tired hotel

The stay was comfortable but the decoration and state of the room and corridors was very tired, and one corridor had a horrible smell throughout our stay.

The breakfast room was delightful: light and airy, sunny and with a view of the cathedral. Food was excellent. Room was serviced well every day. Lift was rather scruffy and noisy. Reception staff very helpful and kind, but it was a shame that, when saying 'goodbye', one member of the team didn't look up. Also, suggest having an illuminated sign above the main entrance.
