i appreciated the hotel's location near lincoln, making it convenient for exploring the area.

the room i stayed in felt quite dated with mismatched furniture. the bathroom was also very small with sloping ceilings , made showering difficult. it reminded me of a room from a 1970s hotel, and i don't think it was worth the price i paid.

the food was decent, i suppose.

my room seemed like a punishment. it was on the top floor, basically an attic. the window was tiny and looked out onto a roof, and the bathroom seemed like stepping back into the 1970s, not exactly the relaxing getaway i was expecting, i expected better for the price.

old carpetsbland dining room

I was very disappointed. My room seemed dark, like a basement. The carpets looked old and worn. Also the dining room felt bland. It was not a pleasant experience overall. I also found it unsettling that breakfast was already laid out in the front entrance so late.

The hotel had a convenient location not far from lincoln. the staff was friendly and gave me a warm welcome. i enjoyed the excellent dinner on my first night.

The executive room i booked was a little tired. the tiling above the bath had grout staining. Mould was also present. i could not open the window without force. Therefore, i didn't. the noise from the laundry room was noticeable at times.
