Next to the main road so extremely noisy at night. Also next to the police station so lots of cars and sirens in the middle of the night. Poor night's sleep! Would not recommend. Otherwise clean and staff online were helpful.
Last time I checked in the room (RM 20) was smelling of smoke and the shower wasn’t running and was the most disappointing experience have ever had with any of the Simple Stay hotels
Not the greatest start to our stay in Lincoln.
Link to the check in codes / guide didn’t work so had to call the helpline who were far from helpful when we were trying to figure out what parking space to go into.
We had room 8 and they said to park at bay 8 which didn’t even exist!!!! How do the hotel staff not know this about their own hotel? Took a while for them to finally tell us which bay to park in.
The curtains are also paper thin and let in so much light in the morning. Which is great if you like waking up at 6am.
On a positive it was clean and tidy and there was little noise from other guests. The fridge was a nice touch.
However probably won’t stay here again.
3 stars.

The room was great; the hotel had no staff (on site) as I arrived at 2330 and left at 0600 and it is self check in.
Clean, comfortable room, with enough food for a good breakfast. A little out of the centre of Lincoln, maybe 1 mile, which if your happy with then this property offers excellent value for money.
