    Tiny room with amazing view over the park and to the lake. The neighborhood is gorgeous, peppered with houses built after the fire. The AC was super loud but it did the trick. The rest of the hotel was a little bit shopworn.

    Very good place to live. Staffs are cordial

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Recently stayed for three nights on the 10th floor with a view of Lake Michigan and it was wonderful. The room is beautiful, clean and spacious. The air conditioning worked great especially since it was 90 degrees and above for the 3 days. Will definitely return and highly recommend!

    My husband and I have stayed at Hotel Lincoln a handful of times in the past, so I generally know what to expect. Rooms are small if you stay in a regular room, but roomy if you upgrade to a suite. However, no matter the type of room, the bathroom is always small. Not a big deal if you're only staying for a night or two. This stay we were asked if we wanted to upgrade to a renovated room (for a $40 fee, of course). We opted to upgrade and were delighted at the modern updates of the room. Even the tiny bathroom was updated - rain showerhead with separate handheld sprayer as well! Woke up in the morning and was excited to try out the new shower. Nope, no hot water AT ALL! And the water did not drain in the bottom of the shower (gross). Couldn't even use the upgraded/renovated amenities we paid for.

    Great place to stay in Lincoln Park.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Location is amazing, great to have the rooftop bar with spectacular views The hot water was out for two of the three days during our stay, the rooms was pretty dusty as we woke up to be super stuffy. Some of the front office staff was a bit rude when we raised the hot water issue but Cindy was fabulous about compensating us for the stay.

    Outdated, peeling outdated bathtub, not clean; Sliding doors to the bathroom which do not close well Shower - with cold water. Prices inappropriately high; Unfortunately people need to take this hotel because there is no much choice in the area Will not recommend

    I loved the Hotel Lincoln! Perfect location, loved walking Lincoln Park in the mornings. Pretty and safe neighborhood. Found a great deli/wine shop five minute walk away. Room was very clean and the best part was the staff! Everyone from the desk staff to the maintenance crew to the coffee shop employees were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Everything was very clean and the location can not be more perfect! Loved walking through Lincoln Park in the mornings and strolling around the neighborhood, found a great local deli/wine shop only 5 minute walk. Excellent restaurant downstairs too. The best part was the staff! Very friendly and helpful staff from the front desk to the maintenance crew to the coffee shop. Only down side was slow elevators, one was not working for the first day. Still, not a big deal. Highly recommend! I will definitely stay here again.

    The room did not look like the photos used online- later found that the photos used were of newly renovated rooms in the building. Theirs is no parking like it claims as well, had to park on the street and pay for street parking and it was terrifying as a female alone walking back from my car at night.

    Tv Ac No Hot water out of shower/bath Very hot water out of sink

    The staff were pleasant. My room the first night was dated and the shower flow too light. It was a room for the disabled but it is in need of an upgrade. The suite that I was upgraded to on the 7th floor was really nice, spacious clean, modern with great lighting. The AC system is noisy. The restaurant staff were really pleasant and the food really good. The roof deck bar is fun spot but if there is a corporate event you are limited to the inside bar and seating can be tough to secure. I would stay there again as the neighbourhood is lovely and the views of the lakeshore are fantastic and the park and zoo and nice experience. Special shout out to Angel who was really kind and helpful. Hoping the third floor rooms get an upgrade. Overall a nice stay.

    Rooftop is amazing, staff is great, but the food could improve a bit.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great staff. Great rooftop bar. The only minor complaint that I have is no refrigerator in the room. It's good for leftovers and beverages. We bought a soft sided cooler and used ice, which is a pain.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The hotel itself is very old and run down. There are no amenities to speak of except for the rooftop bar. The staff was very nice but the prices are too high for the quality of the hotel itself.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff was above and beyond accommodating as our party members grew. We’re grateful for the top notch support! Very clean room with daily cleaning and turn down service was not expecting this.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Overall a nice hotel. For the price, the room was small, the a/c was so loud and the towels were very cheap. Thinnest towel I’ve ever had at a hotel, tattered on the sides and it actually ripped while I was drying off. I would stay here again for sure but i think they could do better with the quality of the little things.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The only strange thing was the only accessible outlets were in the bathroom.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This hotel is in a great location within walking distance to Lincoln Park and many restaurants. Staff was kind and helpful, although 2 of the 3 elevators did not work for most of our stay. The rooms were clean and spacious, although a bit outdated. The hotel is going through a renovation. Good restaurant downstairs and the rooftop bar is great. I would stay here again.

    - elevator constantly breaking down - bathroom so small it was hard to use toilet
