Hotel Lincoln

Location was great that’s about it

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

Location

No cold water, (you can't take a shower or take pills because the water is so hot). no television, no phone to call front desk with problem. At Checkout U noticed guests were offered water at check 8n, we were not. They offered coffee or cocktail, not to us. The room is tiny, they call them suites, absolutely ridiculous for 300 a night. Very disappointed.

Location was ok, access to the water and other spot, it’s a 45 min walk from the loop.

It’s old, from the elevator to the rooms it’s decrepit.

I stayed at this hotel from May 23–25, 2026, and had a very concerning experience regarding guest safety and privacy. During my stay, an individual was able to gain access to my floor and obtain a room key associated with my room without my authorization. My understanding is that the hotel requires identification before issuing room keys, yet someone was apparently granted access under my name without proper verification. I reported the issue immediately and was told management would investigate. It has now been over a week, and I have still not received a meaningful response or explanation. Hotels have a responsibility to protect guest safety and verify identity before providing room access. This incident represented a significant breach of trust and left me questioning the property’s security procedures. The lack of communication afterward has only made the situation more frustrating. I hope management takes this matter seriously and reviews its policies to prevent something similar from happening to another guest.

Fantastic location and staff

Water temp was hard to regulate and some broken/old items in the room

Great location.

No glasses for drinks other than coffee.

We were in town for a concert at Park West and this hotel is the perfect location. Great experience at the hotel. Our room was very clean and the staff was friendly. We used spot hero to park across the street and pricing was very reasonable for Chicago. They have a great rooftop bar and restaurant with nice views. The walking park and free Zoo across the street was perfect for a nice walk in the morning as well.
