The room smelt badly because of the fact that the ac was leaking water, when I informed the receptionist she refused to help. Then the cleaner only came when we checked out so we stayed two days without cleaning and no rubbish was taken out.

Disappointing arrival, due to lack of information

We experienced a significant issue during our stay: there was a boat day, and we were not informed that we couldn't park in the hotel car park. This lack of communication forced us to search for an alternative parking option, which turned out to be very full, requiring us to park on the 8th floor. We then had to walk to the hotel carrying our bags on a very hot day. Given my fear of lifts, this situation was particularly challenging for me, as walking was the only option to get down from the car with our belongings. It is essential for the hotel to communicate such important information to guests in advance.

Lincoln

The check in was fine but they never informed us of the breakfast hours and on our first morning we arrived 15 minutes past. They did allow us to take a plate from the buffet and eat it in the bar downstairs. laundry service takes a day but they don't work on the weekend so we had to do our own laundry in the room. Cloths did dry in a days time so it was not too bad. There are no electrical outlets near the bedside which is annoying having to charge our phones across the room. The room was comfortable besides the electrical outlets and the bed was comfortable and the bathroom large enough and clean. We did like that the bathroom had a shower instead of a tub.

Dated hotel

Location is good, hotel is okay, quite dated, and poor that rooms have no bedside tables or plugs - its 2025, and you're charging £100 a night - why are you expecting people to unplug things to be able to charge phones and watches?
