Disappointed

The room smelt terrible on entering, a cross between sweaty feet and bodies, I can honestly say, we would have not stayed had we had an alternative at that late stage. Poor ventilation, to sleep with window open resulted really loud traffic noise (we were in room 2). We were unable to turn down the TV, you can only turn it up. Bedside light flashes if you wiggle the wire. Can’t open the blind on the upper window as broken. Kettle won’t fit under the tap. To refer to the breakfast as continental is pushing it.. a box of cornflakes each, a yoghurt each, 2 slices cheap white and brown bread in a ziplock bag and a SMALL can of baked beans between two. There was also x2 small cheap pre-packed cheese and honey and jam and a pint of milk. You take this to the shared kitchen downstairs to prepare….but there are now tea towels, hand towels, paper towels and it’s only as clean as the last person left it…which it wasn’t. The room was ‘clean’ to be fair and having said all this we didnt sleep too badly. Would I stay here again? No. Would I recommend? No. BUT with a few relatively easy tweaks I think we would have had a different experience.

Overall, We found the room good and comfortable, however we didn’t receive instructions regarding check in and on arrival were not able to enter the property. We had to phone a number on the door to eventually gain entry, fortunately the weather was fine and was still light. A couple of other niggles were there was only one coat hanger in the wardrobe…we were only staying one night but that is totally inadequate. Hotel sign and name on the outside are not easily visible particularly as it’s a busy road and you come to the hotel very quickly after entering the road…needed to carry on and eventually turn around. Not enough electricity points, television , fridge and kettle all in same area, so had to switch one off to use another, also one socket by bed for lamps so could either have lamps on or plug in I pad. needed over bathroom mirror, possibly a battery stick type would suffice but more light needed to use the mirrors. Breakfast items were adequate and generally the room was clean and comfortable. Outside of building could do with some cleaning and TLC.

The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space in the room It is situated on quite a busy road but I had earplugs so not a problem. The breakfast is left in your room for you to take to the shared kitchen and prepare, I hadn't seen that before but there was more than enough food. Overall very satisfactory.

I stayed 1 night for work, the place was tidy and clean, I was in a room at the front of the property so could hear road traffic. It wasn’t too noisy. Kitchen area was clean and tidy, bed was comfortable. Parking only for 5 vehicles if people park correctly. I would stay again as it’s good location for travel to the centre of Lincoln isn’t to far away. But its convenient for my work place when I’m in Lincoln.

Ok for short stay.

Stayed in room 3. Ok for short stay. Mattress needs replacing, sunk in the middle. Street light comes into the room at night. Blinds had a lot of dust on them. Nice modern bathroom. Not enough parking.

No continental breakfast

It was very clean and warm but was advertised with a continental breakfast. There was no breakfast other than 4 slices of bread in the room with cheese and a yoghurt in the fridge. Very poor!

Mediocre stay, property very clean and set out to a high standard. The beds were very soft and hard to sleep on not very comfortable. The heating was very high and made for an uncomfortable evening. Other than that a great stay and good value for money for a night to stay. -fyi the bread in the sandwich bags was a weird touch.
