Great Location!

Location is excellent, right next to the quay, overlooking the water. Lovely big room, good restaurant and bar. Car parking but also just a short walk from the station. We attended a concert in Lincoln Castle, a 10 minute walk from hotel.

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.
