Hotel Lincoln

More choice in dining area downstairs. Top floor area was very nice but could not dine without booking for evening dinner which was a drawback.

Horrible hotel, would never recommend. They gave us a bizarre room in between two elevators, when we went down and asked for the room we had booked they said they were trying to do us a favor giving us the other room since ours wasn’t ready yet (mind you this is 5 PM- so 2 hours after check in). Staff then just walked to the back and come back 10 minutes later, just hands us a key to a new room, which was vile. Dusty, dirty, hair in the bathroom. Also- Elevator was tiny and buttons don’t work for the 11th or 12th floor. No refrigerator in the rooms, no hook or rack to hang towels. And another guest was explaining to them that while his room key worked, anyone could open his door without a key and the staff did not seem worried or bothered by that. Skip this hotel entirely!

Where to start? How about mold in the bathroom. Or maybe the window units that made horrific sounds all night. Or the beds that look and feel like cardboard. We tried two different rooms, ya know due to the mold. Every room has its own problems. The rooftop bar is beautiful. The lavender vanilla latte, amazing.

Definitely cheap on amenities. Old elevators at this location always make getting to your room a task. One was out of order, which wasn’t their fault but every time I stay here it’s always a big wait for the elevator. Staff slightly rude at one point. Had a few other minor issues but overall just not worth the price.

I needed a hotel near my house while repairs were being done. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Great location, pleasant views and funky-artsy vibe. There are some updated rooms, but I did not have one of those. Very small, basic room and bath. The only chair was a desk chair. The queen bed took up most of the room. Bath could use more counter soace and grab bars in the tub area for safety. It’s ok if you won’t be in the room much and plan to be out enjoying the major city park across the street, the Old Town neighborhood, Lincoln Park Zoo and access to Mag Mile. The top floor bar has a spectacular view with interesting decor, but consistently bad food. In general, food choices in the hotel are limited, but there are lots of good restaurants nearby. Don’t expect the amenities of a major hotel. Stay here for the friendly atmosphere, views of Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan as well as walkability to city attractions.
