Fantastic little stay at this place. You can really see that they have put some thought into how they do things to make yiur stay enjoyable. The bed was comfortable with fresh and clean bedsheets, the bathroom was clean with clean towels. The continental breakfast thatnis left in the room is a great odea. Simply pick up what you want, take it down to the dining area/kitchen area and prepare. I really enjoy it and will be back. For anyone who is interested, i am a youtuber and will be leaving a clip of my room and my thoughts on the Hamilton in one of my videos. My chanel is called 'tobe explores'

Convienient

No check-in and no keys. I was simply send lock codes. Given that I was arriving and leaving at unusual times this was ideal. The room was basic but it had everything I needed, including a fan, which was great as it was a warm night. One parking bay per room. Breakfast was provided in the room, with milk and other bits in the fridge. Would definitnely stay again.

Room was not cleaned - difficult to obtain refund

Arrived for a one night stay, the room had not been cleaned or had been stayed in after cleaning by someone who knew the rooms code as the room door locks are mechanical code locks that stay the same, there was unfinished coffee on the side, hair in the shower and toilet, hair in the bed, rubbish bin overflowing. Called the hotel who said no one from management was available to speak to, left after 15 minutes and booked a more reputable hotel. Then took weeks of calls after my trip given the run around about managers not being available. Finally called hotels.com and after a couple of calls over a week or two and escalating the case got a full refund

CLOSED TRAVEL LODGE.

I arrived at the Hamilton in Lincoln at 3.30 pm on Thursday 17th July for a stay of 4 days having paid £207.29 on Feb 26th by Nationwide credit card. The hotel was shut and all blinds down on all windows. I knocked the front door but no one was in. Sortley afterwards a young couple arrived and let themselves and when I tried to speak to them, he disappeared and the woman refused to speak to me and shut the door in my face. Therefore I had to find other accommodation for my stay. How do I claim a refund of £207.29 from Hotels.com. I am also taking up this matter with my credit card compsny Nationwide. Let us be honest if this Travel Lodge had closed I would have thought you would be aware of it. I await to here from you. Yours sincerly John Cantrill.

Cheap but not very cheerful!

Upon arrival bedsheet was obviously dirty, changed next day. Smallest En Suite I have ever seen. Room is very noisy with window open due to A607, very warm with window closed. Breakfast is minimal with no cereal bowl, on dessert spoon, no plate for bread, no knife. Only cutlery was one teaspoon. A toaster would have been nice. I accept there is a kitchen but it was on ground floor entailing a long staicase. Yes, it was cheap but will not stay again.

First impressions good, tidy and reasonably well furnished. Interior stairs and 1st floor landing very hot in evening, fan in room did not provide sufficient coolness. Shower in room had no cold water adjustment so was dangerously hot in fact scalding hot, therefore unable to use shower. Management not on site and despite 2 phone calls did not come and fix the shower as promised, in fact implied no problem as previous occupant did not report problem. Breakfast adequate but Cereal, bread for toast with cheese and preserves, yoghurt and small can of baked beans, milk for tea and Cereal is OK, but hardly a true Continental breakfast. Very difficult to understand Management staff on phone, didn't actually help at all, no apology for our inconvenience or offer of remuneration or offer to change rooms. Employing phone minders who do not speak English is not very helpful. Management apparently were supposed to be on site by 9am Monday morning but no sign of anyone at all. Would not recommend this place to our friends.

The positives - good location a short drive from city centre, onsite parking, communal kitchen clean and tidy. The not so positives - no reception or room / door keys - key codes for doors. No curtains, just blinds - room illuminated as soon as there is daylight. Walls and floors are very thin, so expect to hear every movement from your room neighbours; trips to the bathroom, creaking floorboards, creaking doors and slamming doors, this happened throughout the night on both nights. Mouldy grout in the shower, there’s a problem with the shower / water pipes making a terrible noise when used, audible from neighbouring rooms. I didn’t like that someone came in the room during the stay to leave two pieces of bread in a bag for breakfast - is there no privacy? Fridge in room turns on / off during the night - noisy and creates vibration on the floor, very disturbing in the night. Potential mould / damp on the external wall below radiator. Overall very poor stay, little sleep on either night due to lack of curtains, creaking floorboards, slamming doors and general foot traffic in communal areas. Mould issues are a major concern, along with unknown person entering room while room unoccupied but containing personal belongings.
