to get started.

Modern and comfortable hotel. Breakfast good. Location alright, little bit of walk from down centre, not too bad, close to railway station.

Sigurlaugur, Iceland

Staff friendly & helpful - they seemed to welcome our custom with a smile. Cleanliness was exemplary. Bed comfortable. Car parking easy - ignore the signs outside and 'book in' at reception, where it costs just £5 per overnight stay. We left our car there for 2 days after informing the staff. Breakfast was freshly prepared & scrumptious - good selection too. Tables cleared & cleaned promptly. Location - approx 15 mins walk into the centre of town.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn as I was taking my son for his first year at Lincoln University. It was well placed as it is walking distance to the University. It was quite expensive as it was Freshers week and it's supply and demand! The room was comfortable and the car park was invaluable, though you have to pay £5 for 24 hours.

Jan, United Kingdom

The hotel was perfect in every way! the room was lovely and cool during the recent heatwave. The room was ready for us on time, super clean, and plenty of room. The hotel is in a suburb location, close to the central facilities, resturants, etc, near to the Brayford Pool. To finish with the Breakfast was absolutly amazing, a full buffet breakfast, with hot and cold quality food, which set us up for our busy day ahead. Thanks for a relaxing lovely experience!

In room coffee making facilities only enough for two cups so if you need more you have to contact reception. Top floor rooms are a little noisy due to air conditioning plant on the roof (I think). Bathroom sink drainage was s-l-o-w.
The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Very good breakfast with sufficient choice. Bar open until early hours for residents. Good location. Plenty of parking available. 15 minute walk to city centre.

Used coffee cup not replaced when the room was cleaned, but the towels were - which we didn"t want - we had left them hanging,not on the floor as requested if no change was required. Couldn't increase the temperature in the room - little cold the first night. Feel that we should not have to pay to use the hotel's car park when staying there.
Clean hotel, well located for walking into town centre, castle and cathedral. Helpful, friendly staff. Good choice of fresh foods for breakfast. Clean room and bathroom, comfortable bed.

“Excellent ”

The breakfast room is large and bright, there is a large and excellent choice of breakfast items and drinks, which are constantly re-filled - my only negative (and it is a pet hate of mine) is that although the staff were quite quick at clearing the used pots from vacated tables unfortunately they did not wipe the table afterwards. Our table for two still had the cup rings, sugar and breadcrumbs left strewn across it. I had a view over all the dining room and saw that the tables were very rarely wiped after clearing - apart from near the close of service - and the cynic in me feels that was to save time later!
Very impressed! We booked this hotel at a budget price - which came with breakfast but we were super impressed by everything! The public areas are bright, beautifully decorated and super clean. The bedroom was huge - very comfy bed, a sofa, work table & chair, hanging space, hairdryer, ironing board & iron, kettle & tea and coffee and the bathroom was amazing - spotless, large, huge glass shower. We couldn't fault anything (although shame on the people who left large stains on the carpet). Short walk into Lincoln. We would definitely stay here again without a doubt.
