I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, but the carpet was a bit hazardous for someone with poor mobility. The service was friendly and approachable. The location was excellent with beautiful views of the cathedral, but there were occasional issues with smoke smell and missing items. The dining options varied from excellent to average. The hotel had some positives but also a couple of drawbacks to consider.

Rooms
7.0
The room was bright, airy, clean, and comfortable, with fluffy fresh towels in the spacious bathroom. However, the carpet presented trip hazards due to tucks and ridges.

Location

The hotel's location right opposite the cathedral at the top of the city was convenient and scenic, providing easy access to the town and a host of shops and restaurants at Bailgate. However, there were occasional issues with a smoking smell drifting in when doors opened.
Dining
7.0
The dining experience had its highs and lows. Breakfast offered a wide choice and great service, but there were limitations on some items like orange juice and butter.
Facilities

The facilities were suitable without standing out, offering traditional local cakes and a view of the cathedral from the dining room.

The hotel offers a direct view of the Cathedral, and for those considering a visit to Lincoln, it might fall short compared to other options like the Holiday Inn which is slightly cheaper, spotlessly clean, and located on the waterfront with bars and restaurants. The room, though small and lacking a wardrobe, had coat hangers on the wall. The cleanliness was questionable with hairs in the bath, dust on the floor, and hair around the door edges. However, the location is excellent for city center access and provides a direct view of the Cathedral. Be aware that the room might need a makeover to match its Deluxe category status.

The hotel is in a convenient location near Lincoln Cathedral and a variety of bars and restaurants. The rooms are outdated and in need of redecorating, and the breakfast left much to be desired in terms of quality and service. However, the staff were attentive and went above and beyond to assist, making our stay more enjoyable.
