No TV

Well situated with parking. Our main complaint is that the TV did not work. We reported the problem at 1800 and 1900 but were not advised that it could not be fixed until 2200. We were offered a room move but we felt this a bit late especially as we were only booked in for one night. Obviously we did not visit Lincoln to watch TV but it is nice to have a TV available.

A nice break

Hotel was in a great position with shops and restaurants close by. Communal areas look they have been refurbished but bedrooms could do with the same. Staff helpful and friendly. Bar staff seemed missing a lot during the day. Great for allergies especially gluten free which one of us is, both breakfast and the lounge menu had many choices. Would stay again.

Lovely hotel on the Marina

Very large room. Very clean. Amazing large comfy bed. It also had an extra area with a table and chairs. Bathroom was modern and clean with a good shower. Toiletries provided. This room was really good for the price and a good location. There was only one down side the room had very little natural light but as we didn’t spend much time in the room except to sleep it was ok. Would definitely stay here again.

On an organised visit but came early. Room etc excellent, breakfast super overlooking the marina. However I’m one of those few who prefers Bath rather than shower - that said but it won’t put me off!

Its overall a lovely area however Our room faced the car park at the back of the hotel so quite noisy with peoplecoming and going . The bathroom was clean but cracks down the side of the bath and a bit shabby . The kettle in the room unfortunately was on for over half an hour and didnt boil only got slightly warm so no hot drink to go with the complimentary biscuits. Only stayed 1 night but don't think we would stay again.
