I stayed at the Holiday Inn Lincoln for one night, and while the location was fantastic, I found the experience quite lacking. The hotel appeared tired and in need of refurbishment, and my room had a poor-quality mattress that affected my sleep. My interactions with staff were generally positive, particularly when resolving a parking issue, but the bar area felt rather uninviting.

Rooms

5.0

The room I was given didn’t meet my expectations; the mattress was uncomfortable, leading to poor sleep quality. Additionally, I faced a mix-up with my room type upon arrival which added to the frustration.

Service

7.0

The staff overall were friendly and helpful, particularly the manager who assisted with the parking issue. However, there was a noticeable lack of concern from some team members regarding my earlier inquiries.

Location

10.0

The hotel's location was a major highlight, just a stone's throw away from the water's edge and within walking distance of many bars and restaurants. It's perfect for exploring the city, despite a steep walk to the cathedral.

Dining

6.0

I didn't find the dining options very impressive; the bar area seemed rather dull, and the food was average at best with some items running out during breakfast.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel offered basic amenities but didn't impress overall; the cleanliness and maintenance of some areas were below standard and should be improved.

I enjoyed my stay overall, especially the hotel's location by the waterfront, which made exploring the area simple. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring a great variety of options. However, I did notice some issues, particularly with the communal areas being understaffed, which led to delays during breakfast and some lack of attention in the bar.

Rooms

The room was quite spacious and clean, though it could have used some updates in terms of decor. I appreciated the comfortable beds and good shower facilities, but noticed a few maintenance issues like stains on the carpet.

Service

While the hotel staff were generally friendly and professional, I found the bar and breakfast service to be lacking due to understaffing. This made it challenging at times to get assistance whenever needed.

The breakfast spread was extensive and enjoyable, with a good selection of both hot and cold items. However, the situation in the bar during my visit could have been better managed.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel offered decent facilities but could improve on staffing levels in communal areas. It also allowed pets, which was a bonus for dog owners, but could be off-putting for others.

My stay at Holiday Inn Lincoln was a mixed bag. While the hotel was clean and the staff were friendly, I faced some frustrating issues, like a delay in room service and a noisy wake-up from the cleaner. The location was fantastic, right by the marina and near various dining options, which was a major plus.

Rooms

Service

The hotel offers decent facilities like room service and a welcoming atmosphere, but a few amenities like the bar closing early was let down.

I had a pleasant stay overall at the hotel. The location was superb as it is just a short walk to the city center and offers beautiful views of Brayford Wharf. However, I did face some issues with cleanliness in the toilets and the wait at check-in was longer than expected. Despite these setbacks, the staff were friendly and the breakfast choices were impressive.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was spacious and comfortable, but I noticed some cleanliness issues in the bathroom. Despite this, the bed was wrapt in a comfortable linen and I had restful nights.

Service

While most staff were friendly, I did encounter one receptionist who seemed a bit unfriendly during check-in. On the other hand, the housekeeping staff did respond quickly when I requested more towels.

Location

The location is excellent, situated near a variety of restaurants and shops. It's also close to attractions in the city center, making it great for exploring.

Dining

8.0

Breakfast was a highlight of my stay with its extensive options, including gluten-free dishes. However, it did get quite busy during my stay, especially since I visited on a bank holiday.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities were decent with quick room service and helpful amenities, but it would have been nice to have plug sockets near the bed for convenience.

5.0/10

My stay at Holiday Inn Lincoln was a mixed bag. While the location near the waterfront was fantastic and the staff were accommodating, I encountered some issues with room cleanliness and facilities. The breakfast selection, although decent, lacked options for specific dietary needs.

Rooms

6.0

The room was clean with a comfortable super king bed, but I found the decor a bit lacking and the bathroom had a walk-in shower that was great. Unfortunately, it was also quite cold during my stay, and a few lamps didn't work, which was disappointing.

Service

7.0

Reception staff were friendly and helpful, though my early check-in request seemed to have been overlooked. Overall, the service was prompt, but I felt there was inconsistency with staff attentiveness, especially during breakfast.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is excellent for exploring Lincoln. It's central and close to many attractions, making it easy to walk around the charming city, but parking can be a little tight due to nearby construction.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast was average. While there were basic options, I was disappointed with the limited choices for specific diets, like gluten-free. The bar options seemed promising but I didn't have a meal there.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities were adequate, including room service and complimentary toiletries. However, I noticed that some amenities felt sparse, and I would have appreciated more extras like a pillow menu or snacks in the room.
