We really enjoyed our stay. Staff were all lovely, the breakfast was great and our family room was spacious with lots of room to relax after a busy day. The location was quick and convenient for shopping, dining and sightseeing, with lots of restaurant options along the wharf while the room itself still being really quiet. Tesco’s Express one minute walk away for picnic supplies. Oh and a lovely view. We all had a great stay (if I had one quibble it would be their pillows. Like bricks).

Pleasant enough. Good location for the marina and a short walk to city centre. Could do with newer (non-sprung) mattresses and a re-vamp of the AC. But it still worked and was clean and suitable. Reception seemed polite and friendly. Expect to pay £10 for overnight use of the car park.

Ongoing query with stay after being overcharged, still unresolved after a week, hotels.com customer service is terrible. The holiday inn lincoln staff were all good. Hotel location was good. The only bad comment was having the worst night sleep, found pillows to be most uncomfortable.

My room was completely clean with no problems whatsoever. Any questions I had, the staff was happy to assist me and answer. The bed pillows were a bit too stiff for me, so some more variety of fluffiness would be great. The room, hotel itself and staff was very nice.
