The location of the hotel is excellent. Lincoln Park Zoo is across the street. We took our kids there every morning before we went to see the city. My wife and I walked to a second city performance one night and that was a 5 minute walk. We also walked with the kids to see the Blue Man Group at the Briar Street Theatre. My wife and I were very happy with the location of the hotel because we could easily walk to our destinations.

I thought the price was somewhat more than I wanted to pay. For the price I paid, I would expect a better bathroom that is more up to date and everything works properly.

Location, location, location! Great walkable neighborhood. Friendly and accommodating staff. The main area of the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The rooftop bar was nice. The attached restaurant, Americano, was fantastic!

Listing my room as a "Lake View" room was a bit of a stretch considering that I could barely see the lake by the angle of the room. My view was mostly of the school building across the street. A dirty washcloth was left on the shower head from the previous guest. The shampoo and conditioner hadn't been restocked before my check in. The coffee cup for the in-room Keurig coffee maker was too tall for the machine. A large dirty laundry cart was parked in front of the elevator doors and remained there the entire time during my 2 night stay.

Staff, location, comfort and decor all get a 10! I unwittingly booked a teeny tiny room with a teeny tiny bed (and an AMAZING VIEW), but the front desk staff happily upgraded us to a junior suite with a king sized bed for a nominal charge. The location of the Hotel Lincoln just can’t be beat! It’s directly across from Lincoln Park, within blocks of multiple bars and restaurants and a short taxi/Uber ride to many neighborhoods and downtown. I’m pretty picky about bedding, but the beds and linens were perfect for us: firm mattress and super soft linens. Also, the hot water was almost instantaneous, water pressure in the shower was great and seemingly unaffected by varying levels of use by other guests. This is an older hotel, but tastefully decorated with whimsical pictures, murals, and furniture.

Construction! The hotel is undergoing renovation and while it’s understandable, it wasn’t disclosed when we made our reservation. Not only did we get to listen to all the normal noises of construction each day, we also got to listen to the workers shouting, singing, cussing, and even fighting. All in all, it was a minor inconvenience as we were outside seeing and visiting family most of the time, the nondisclosure was the real chafing point.

Location was excellent, near Old Town and Lincoln Park, and downtown is walkable. Nice lake views from my room also. The staff were fantastic and extremely helpful. The bar on the roof is worth a look too.

The hotel itself is quite old, and acoustic insulation wasn't great between rooms. My room was also directly outside the elevators on my floor which was the source of quite a lot of noise. To be fair though, if I had raised that with staff, I'm sure they would have changed me to another room, but I was only there for a couple of days so didn't bother.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The coffee cafe is a plus. The location for me is a plus since my family moved in the area

Our room seemed to be renovated from the horror we had previously with mold and grime in bathroom , dirty carpeting etc. However, there was absolutely no shelving in the bathroom to put cosmetic case, no garbage pail, no door on the vanity( pipes showing ) no hook to hang clothes no place in shower to put soap etc. not a functional bathroom. No handle on closet in hallway ?

The staff was really nice and helped out my cousin as she was having problems. Hopefully she apologized. The location of the hotel is awesome. I loved the old timey retro atmosphere of the building. The rooftop bar ? INCREDIBLE. I loved the refillable water bottles and the fitness room was great. I also fell in love the with the spinning front door.

the food is super expensive at the rooftop bar . On the pull out mattress there were cough drop wrappers that didn’t get cleaned. Didn’t have a mini fridge though it was specified in the room description as that is the reason we upgraded because we were staying for about 5 days. The bed and pillows could be more comfy. Some pillows were A1 but others weren’t. I guess that’s preference. The bathtubs didn’t seem super clean. The bottom of the tub looked “dirty” although was probably scrubbed.

The location was excellent! The room was very clean and the staff was helpful. The bed and pillows were comfortable!

There were no microwaves/fridges in the rooms, but the front desk does have a guest fridge where they can store your cold items. It’s a little inconvenient but not an issue. There is a $400 incidental fee that they don’t tell you about until you arrive, but if the room is undamaged you will get it back within 7ish days.

Free water and coffee. Cleaning lady was very helpful when we asked for something.

Some details like they gave you cups for the coffee machine that did not fit, which made it impossible to make the coffee... Forgot the trashbag in the room after emptying it. Forgot putting new bag in. Also the high speed internet was, well the slowest internet I have ever used 😄

Great location and excellent , kind, and accommodating staff, especially given how cold it was. The associated coffee shop and restaurant are good. I was not expecting the amenities fee, but I did enjoy having the bottled water, the drink, etc.

The room where I stayed was clean but a bit stuffy, and it was difficult to adjust the temperature, so it was stiflingly warm, and the shower was not great. It was fine, but the quality was not up to the level of the cost, in my point of view.

The coffee in the coffee shop is amazing! The room setup was also unique, definitely a fun experience. The proximity to Park West, the water, and Lincoln Park were the main reason for our choice. The valet service was perfect and timely.

The volume in the rooftop lounge was ridiculous. It was incredibly difficult to hear and we had to yell at each other (both in our 30's and healthy lol) We even sat outside for a bit and it was still very loud.
