The breakfast was was left in the room . 4 slices of bread for 2 persons. The mattress on both beds were absolutely useless , could feel the springs when you sleeping, I think the owner needs to replace the mattress, talking to other guests , they also commented the same !!

I stayed 1 night for work, the place was tidy and clean, I was in a room at the front of the property so could hear road traffic. It wasn’t too noisy. Kitchen area was clean and tidy, bed was comfortable. Parking only for 5 vehicles if people park correctly. I would stay again as it’s good location for travel to the centre of Lincoln isn’t to far away. But its convenient for my work place when I’m in Lincoln.

No continental breakfast

It was very clean and warm but was advertised with a continental breakfast. There was no breakfast other than 4 slices of bread in the room with cheese and a yoghurt in the fridge. Very poor!

Loved this place. Not 5 star posh but 5 star different in a good way. Self check in easy peasy and room was just like being a home but tidier! Nice little breakfast bits in room and a lovely kitchen downstairs to use. Excellent price for a good night's sleep. Road was a little noisy but I use earplugs so no worries for me there anyway. Would recommend for a night or 2.

Overall, an enjoyable ovenight stay. Room very clean as was the en suite facility. Bed comfortable too. Good to have access to an electric fan and room fridge too. Slightly disappointed with the continental breakfast. Was expecting danish pastfies not breaf and jam. Parking for drivers new to Lincoln could be explained in a little more detail Would certainly stay again if in Lincoln.

Overall a good stay but only for a night

Overall a comfortable guest house but we felt it was quite noisy as there is quite a lot of traffic in front of the property. They do provide earplugs but those were not enough for me. Breakfast items are provided in the room and downstairs.

Nice but need better curtains.

It was nice. I had a good night's sleep, which is what i went for. Breakfast was cute. Check in was easy enough. However, the drape over the window was useless and might as well not be there. Passers by could see into my room.

Susan

Disliked: Staff & service
Overall, We found the room good and comfortable, however we didn’t receive instructions regarding check in and on arrival were not able to enter the property. We had to phone a number on the door to eventually gain entry, fortunately the weather was fine and was still light. A couple of other niggles were there was only one coat hanger in the wardrobe…we were only staying one night but that is totally inadequate. Hotel sign and name on the outside are not easily visible particularly as it’s a busy road and you come to the hotel very quickly after entering the road…needed to carry on and eventually turn around. Not enough electricity points, television , fridge and kettle all in same area, so had to switch one off to use another, also one socket by bed for lamps so could either have lamps on or plug in I pad. needed over bathroom mirror, possibly a battery stick type would suffice but more light needed to use the mirrors. Breakfast items were adequate and generally the room was clean and comfortable. Outside of building could do with some cleaning and TLC.

5 star treatment without the 5 star price!

It may not be a 5 star hotel but I would give Tennyson 5 stars for the way guests needs are catered for. Entry was simple and effective thru key safe. the room was clean comfortable and warm - I returned from a meal at the local Wetherspoons (brilliantly converted cinema covered in lights!) to find the heating had come on and the room was warm as toast. Breakfast items were in the room with access to a kitchen kitted out with microwave, toaster etc. The bed was clean and comfortable and the bathroom had a decent size shower you could move in. For a handy overnight stop it was perfect and very reasonable. Woke up the next morning fully refreshed to be greeted by the first snowfall of the year..... Full marks Tennyson, keep up the good work.
