Holiday Inn Express Lincoln City Centre by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Lincoln City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good
"On the positive: The reception staff were very welcoming, friendly and efficient. Rooms were clean. Location was excellent. Negative: bedding could do with an upgrade; sheets were rough, pillows were lumpy, beds (2x singles) were hard. Duvet was old and stiff and too narrow for the bed. Rooms are small! TV is tiny! Breakfast was adequate."
