Ac wasn't working properly
Bed was very firm and pillows too soft
Bathroom door needed easing as kept sticking. Breakfast was OK the first morning but second morning was terrible, even telling us they had run out of poached eggs ! Don't think we'll be back
It's a smart hotel - very corporate in image. Staff are very helpful and it's clean. The shower in my room didn't work - I think that the head was blocked in some way. Bed was a bit hard. Breakfast could so easily have been better - not a lot of choice. The choice of fresh fruit was disappointing. But the evening meal was outstanding, hot and excellent value. Overall it was pretty good value for money and I'd use it again.

Shame about the bathroom
Had a brilliant stay but didn’t realise I booked disability rooms the bedroom was brilliant but bathroom was not to our taste But was my fault
Staff welcome and friendly. Room was clean but bathroom door did not close. Reported to reception said maintenence would look at it. Wasnt fixed when we came back to room. Booked a queen bed, was not a queen size bed, just a double. Corridor was noisey especially in the morning which made the bed shake. Bed constantly creaking if you moved.
We came as our Mini Honeymoon after our wedding - hotel was AWFUL!! The rooms where filthy with stained carpets, and dust all over the furniture - the bed - my god was the worst quality bed ive ever slept on. Lumpy, rock hard, noisy and mattress was paper thin..
The tea and coffee facilties had not been replenished and the stains on carpets throughout the room and corridors was disgusting.
Also - not sure who provided the images of the Roof Top terrace - but these are 100% fake!! There is x2 SMALL balconys on the 5th floor bar, but absolutely NOT like the images shown on here..
My advise is to book the Holiday Inn next door - as i stayed in that one for my Hen do - and it is FAR better quality!!!
Hilton - you need to do better!!! This was an absolutely AWFUL stay in an awful hotel!!!
Only stayed here because this was the only accommodation available last minute for Lincoln Steampunk weekend. Highly priced, hard mattress so not entirely comfortable and charge for parking extortionate!!

Mediocre stay
There was no check in even slightly early. We returned at 3.40 and were advised the room was still being finished. The cleaner was still in the room when we had no option to drop the bags and go out. There was no key for the balcony and I had to ask 4 times. The room was freezing and despite trying to ask for the heating to be reset twice it was still so cold. The room itself was clean but the hotel carpet was very dirty. Restaurant and bar was not the cleanest and had to ask for the tables to be cleaned. Car parking was very tight. Worried about doors getting knocked. Breakfast wasn’t the greatest, sausages looked especially undercooked.
Despite booking a suite, provisions in the room were not the best.
