RobertUnited StatesThanks for your hospitality.
Breakfast was very good and the staff were very attentive and friendly.
Hallways to the room were cramped and uneven.
LeanneAustraliaClean and convenient
Close to town and lovely water views
Beds were quite hard and the lack of water pressure made showering difficult.
JoUnited KingdomLocation great and dog stayed for free.
Decor is dated but I knew this from a previous stay and chose to return. Good value for money and kind staff.

What we’d check for you here
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Lancaster Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at Lancaster Hotel?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Lancaster Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Lancaster Hotel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Lancaster Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Lancaster Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Lancaster Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
