Holiday Inn Lincoln is on the edge of the city well located and is clean and comfortable. Increasingly hotels have automated parking this hotel charges £20 for the night reduced to £10 with a discount I appreciate this not a great amount but should be free like the hearty breakfast. I think I would rather pay for the breakfast and have fee parking!

Clean rooms, breakfast is not on for long enough, especially when you’re told the last hour is the busiest to avoid it. Who wants to be up early when you’re away?
