“Great Place To Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

We had a family birthday gathering here in December. Ten of us booked into the motel for the evening and the rooms were lovely, very clean, and very comfy. My elderly parents were with us and my mum is in a wheelchair but there were no problems with access and all the staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was fantastic, there was a wide variety of choice from both the evening and breakfast menu. We all had a great time and would definitely return.

“Enjoyed my night”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

I've stayed here a couple of times, both times with my partner .. the first time we stayed we got one of the downstairs refurbished rooms which were very nice. This time we got one of the older rooms upstairs, these were perfectly clean and actually very comfortable, they just looked a bit dated. The older room also had a bath which was perfect after a long day at the christmas market!

The receptionist staff here were wonderful! Happy and friendly, no complaints on that account. We also went for a meal at the restaurant which I cannot fault! The service was brilliant, the food was tasty and the cocktails were the highlight of my night :) plus motel guests get a 20% discount off their final bill which is a good touch.

The only problem I had was that because it was the christmas market weekend the price of the room almost doubled! But they're not the only ones, most hotels in the area do the same.

I would recommend Damons as a good place to stay as a base for visiting Lincoln.

Room Tip: Rooms upstairs are a bit dated but they have baths and the beds are comfier. Downstairs rooms are mo...

“You get what you pay for”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I've stayed at this motel three times of late, as a stopover on the way further North, and it's a personification of the old maxim about quality and price. In short, don't arrive expecting smoething like the Grosvenor and you won't be too disappointed. But you might still feel a teensy-weensy bit let down.

So, what are the plusses? Free internet and a big bed. The minuses? Paper-thin walls, throwback decor, a bathroom that includes a one-piece bath/shower effort with a showerhead that is useless for anyone over 5 feet tall, dodgy plumbing, and one of the worst breakfasts I have ever had. Unless you like fluffy bread with icing sugar on it. With bacon. Which took 40 minutes to arrive despite the restaurant only having a dozen people. What on earth?

Evening meals in the restaurant are a faux-American affair, and it gets busy with locals coming in for birthdays and the suchlike. On that basis don't expect much peace and quiet and do expect to wait for your order. As everyone bangs on about the ribs I had something else, which must have caused pandemonium in the kitchen as it took an hour to arrive. In fairness however, due to the cock-up my drinks were complimentary.

It's possible I will be staying there again at some point, and while I won't be unhappy at the prospect I can't exactly say I will be looking forward to it either.
