Best motel I have ever stayed at!
Our 2 bedroom unit was perfect. Large, comfortable rooms with modern decor; powerful shower and a high standard of cleanliness. Craig and other staff were very friendly and great to deal with.
Highly recommended! We will definitely stay here again.

The room was really clean and modern, easy self parking and a quite location just off the main street. I followed the early morning scent of baking around the corner and found a cafe and a bakery litterally 2mins walk! The queen bed i found was a roll together of smaller beds, however unlike past experiances i was suprised to find this didnot detract from the comfort at all. black out curtains and great water presssure too - thanks

Great place to stay in Lincoln
Excellent motel in Lincoln. Lovely staff/owners who were super helpful. Lovely wee touches. Locally made soap and plunger coffee. Sky TV (full channels) and well equipped kitchen. Right in the centre of Lincoln. Couldn't be better placed.
