Nice location

Hotel was in great location and staff very helpful. Only issue we had was with shower that had seal that leaked water and left floor with puddle of water after shower. They were quick to respond. Other than that all was great! Breakfast buffet was really good too!

Great stay in Lincoln

Had a great time in Lincoln. Hotel was lovely, staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. The only thing we could say wasn’t great was the bed. It was a great kingsize bed but my daughter and I found it just a tad too hard and the pillows weren’t great either but other than that we had a fab stay.

After a long day, arrived very late for check-in and was greeted by name from a lovely welcoming lady on reception, realising I was the last check-in, how nice! Then she gave me a complimentary upgrade! Lush room, really comfortable bed, great facilities and so quiet, just what I needed!

Enjoy your stay too!

We always stay in the Holiday Inn when in Lincoln. Lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable, quirt room, overlooking the River Brayford. Comforable beds. A little difficult getting out ofthe bath as the sides are high. Everything was was fine. Delicious breakfast with a great range and choice of food and drink.

Sent a message via the Expedia app on 12 march prior to my stay. Don’t think I’ve received a reply since. I’m now back at home (3 days later) Not sure that the receptionist I spoke to at the hotel was particularly helpful either - or she didn’t understand me ( I was unwell, so I may have been a bit muddled ) There were 2 or 3 receptionists over the period that I spoke to and they were superb.

Milk Pots

The service / staff / housekeeping were good and the breakfast was lovely Our only compliment would be is that we were given replacement milk pots as we used the four pots we had, had a cup of tea on arrival and one a coffee when we got up the next day, and then we didn't have any the next day - if when the beds were made, housekeeping could top them up that would have been appreciated.
