Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near Lincoln City, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, providing a comfortable stay. However, some issues with heating and hot water led to a disappointing experience, especially with noisy late-night events in the function suite. The dining options were hit or miss, with long waits and basic breakfast offerings.
The hotel offers basic but comfortable rooms, slightly dated, with a need for refurbishment. The breakfast was enjoyable, though lacking some essentials like eggs. The service was pleasant overall, with excellent food in the restaurant. The location, while not perfect, is about 10 minutes from Lincoln town center, offering opportunities for exploration.
