I stayed in the LincolnHotel the other day for just one night. I have to admit that I didn't spend much time on the premises so my report will be quite brief.
When you look at the building from the outside, it makes you wonder what this Soviet-style hotel is doing next to the masterpiece of architecture - Lincoln Cathedral. It looks ridiculous. My husband and I were hoping to be pleasantly surprised by the interior, but there was no surprise there, just a bit of a shock for me. It was so horrendous - so tasteless and so behind the times! The reception area was all in bold garish colours, the corridors reminded me of a hospital that needed modernising, the white doors had fingerprints on, the lift was tiny. The room was no better, it looked small and dated. And although there were all the mod cons there - a separate bathroom, a TV, a trouser press, a desk, a double bed, two bedside tables, it just didn't look comfy and was not at all welcoming. The balcony door didn't open. The only thing I did like was the fact that the bed had a duvet, not a cover and sheets.
The breakfast the following morning was quite good - English cooked or continental, there was an abundance of fruit, and the service was reasonably good too.
Check-in and check-out was fine, no problems or misunderstandings there. They do lock the hotel at night though, so when we got back late the previous night we had to ring a bell and wait for about a minute for someone to open the door and check our key card. Security? Possibly. Another thing they need to improve is parking - not enough spaces and a bit awkward.
My final advice - avoid if you don't want to spoil your impression of this wonderful city. The Lincoln Hotel is not particularly cheap - a double room cost us 80 pounds (around 145 US dollars) per night with breakfast for two.
