Reviews for Hotel Lincoln
Not renovated and needs major updates. Good location.
Definitely not a 4 star hotel. Hotel rooms was not renovated. Wall paper was peeling off the wall, the bathtub did not drain properly and was chipping, there was no fitted sheet for the pack and play provided, the pull out couch was on for my 5 yr old but would have been horrible for an adult, the room looked into a garbage shoot. The roof top terrace was nice and it is a good location for kids.

Would NEVER recommend Hotel Lincoln
Front door hard to close -- had to kick it, which explained the shoe prints on it Poorly designed - wasted sq ft Decor yawn - white walls, beat up trim. Next to no art Towels skimpy No grab bars Slippery shower floors Tiny bathrooms. Next to no counterspace, hanging for towels. No bathroom fans. Vents only. No cold water in one. Scalding shower. Reported but fix didn’t last. Other bath cold lukewarm Insufficient storage. Tiny closet. One drawer 18 x 15. Two desk drawers 2” deep Traffic noise Couch rock hard, poor ergonomics Pull out couch 5’ x 5’. Sleep diagonally. No linens. Mattress and pillows TOO soft. No support. AC units loud. Gap between one and wall full of dust and crud. Rooms stuffy or cold Outlet missing - exposed wires Halls - walls, carpet grubby Elevators tiny, small, slow No mgr till 2:00. Front desk doesn’t answer when called. Doesn’t always respond to reported problems. Rickedy tables No lamps. Only overhead lights. Wall lights by bed can’t be controlled separately and are ganged to overhead on one circuit. Water leak Debris on rug under couch No cups except for 2 coffee

Stay somewhere else
Luxury priced hotel for basically a motel room. Damp/smelly carpet, uncomfortable bed, horrible lighting (no way to do makeup), shower leaked everywhere.

We fell in love with Lincoln Park
The room was small but well equipped and the lake view and view of the surrounding area was nice. We loved the roof top bar and the complimentary beverages, and coffee the next morning.

Would not recommend. For the price, the hotel was old and rundown. Sink and shower drains did not work properly. Wall A/C units turned on and off all night waking me up. And there was no cold water from any faucet, only hot. My friend on the 3rd floor had the same issue.
