I had a pretty mixed experience at Castle Hotel & Apartments in Lincoln. The location is a major win, being just a short walk to the Cathedral and Castle, which I loved. However, my room felt cramped and had trouble with the stuffy air, which made sleeping a bit tricky. The staff varied in their service, with some really friendly ones that stood out, and others who made the check-in less than ideal. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere, but some aspects, like the breakfast quality, could use a little improvement.
