Just finished my second stay here. Great place (others have spoken to that) with a sense of style and helpful staff. You can cross the street and be in Lincoln Park for walks. Bus convenient. Love it
Stephanie ChengApril 7, 2015A vintage-style hotel. The area is safe, staff are friendly! The rooms are small yet clean, furniture and the elevator are made to look "old", but I enjoyed my stay here. Would highly recommend!
- Omar RaheemJuly 5, 2013Great hotel! Lincoln park across the street, Lake Michigan a short walk away. Roof top bar with a view of the skyline, coffee shop in the lobby. Friendly staff and they allow dogs!
Jill MoorheadNovember 7, 2013There are two bathrooms in this room. Use one for doing makeup and looking at your hair. Use the other for taking a bath. (The bathtubs are really clean.)

Christopher JonesMarch 14, 2019Tiny rooms with paper-thin walls—you hear everytging! While the decor was nice and the staff were great, it’s very hard to believe this is actually a 4-star hotel.
Travel + LeisureFebruary 21, 2014A Mad Men–meets–The Brady Bunch–style lobby, with tweed upholstered furniture and bow-tied bellhops, welcomes you to this refurbished 1928 property opposite the park.
Libby ColichOctober 20, 2013Beautiful hotel! Staff is wonderful! The bed in our suite is heavenly! Will recommend and will definitely be back! Well done Hotel Lincoln!- Marina GrohOctober 19, 2013Cool modern interior & delicious coffee from downstairs coffee shop, Elaine's! Stay on the 12th floor for best views of Lake Michigan!
Joanna FlammApril 11, 2014Really lovely hotel with a friendly, helpful staff. We arrived early, and they gladly checked our bags so we could go out exploring.
Bianca MuddAugust 8, 2016The costumer service is outstanding. Very clean, accommodating, cool vibe. We will defiantly be staying here again!
Sheryl LinnAugust 20, 2013Great boutique hotel across from the park. Super friendly staff, love the roof top bar. Would totally stay here again.
Amazing roof deck, location, and lobby. Rooms were very small, old hotel was noisy!
Super great staff, comfy beds, very cool decor, and great location! Couldn't be happier! Also very nice restaurant and bar
Tracy SankbeilMarch 16, 2014Nice hotel right across from a park on the lake. We enjoyed our stay. Try Nookie's for breakfast.
Mitchell SJanuary 23, 2014I was in a hurry. I thought I knew the city but Echo Limousine's driver took me on short-cuts I never knew. (I can picture him paddling car down the river!) 773-774-1074- Jill MoorheadNovember 7, 2013There are two bathrooms in this room. Use one for applying makeup and doing your hair.

caroJune 21, 2013Hotel staff is very nice! Good location, bus stop is close to hotel as well as the zoo. However I found a bug in my bed! :( but they were quick to send someone to checkit out and change my bed sheets.
Rooms are cold.AC is not heating up the room and is huge noise source. Toilet sliding door doesn’t close with a massive crack between it and the wall. Water doesn’t go down in the shower. Horrible :(
Michael ConnollyMarch 10, 2012Opening weekend. Place looks good and staff is very friendly. Be ready for a few minor hiccups, but staff is very helpful!
Julie ShackletonApril 24, 2013V cool decor. We had a corner room on the 11th floor which had TWO bathrooms. Nothing can beat that!!- When Your room gets too hot there is two main air conditioners to help keep cool!
Connie WaldenJanuary 2, 2014The room was tiny and poorly constructed. Our window frame was bent on install so snow blew in all night onto the inner sill. The bathroom is small and lacks a fan. You pay for location- not comfort.
Close to many attractions: Beach, zoo, park. Farmer's market on Wednesday mornings.
DanAugust 29, 2019Good location and friendly staff pros. Cons what they call a “suite upgrade”. Rooms needed to be gutted and redone. Not sure what rooms were on the website, but mine was definitely not one of them.
- I really want to come back here because very friendly staff and good rooms
Karin ThriftMay 21, 2012The hotel has a really cool vibe from the time you step into the lobby all the way to your room.
Anthony SullivanMarch 26, 2013When we stayed here they told us the water was gonna be shut off on a Monday and it was actually off on Tuesday. We were not informed of this so I suggest making sure before paying & checking in.- There is a rooftop restaurant to eat food and you have a great view from up there
- When you stay at hotel Lincoln. there is stuff nearby like nookies and Starbucks not far away
- I want to stay here again so bad but there's only one if you take a trip to Chicago I reccomend this hotel
Complimentary wine hour and all the guys working here wear bowties. Thus, top marks.
Genevieve BilliaNovember 5, 2013Terrence at the front desk is rude, incredibly dismissive. Walls are thin, bathroom is a broom closet with no door and zero exhaust fan. Traffic noise is intolerable due to thin windows. Stay away.
Stephanie GóRmzJanuary 5, 2015Excelente lugar, limpio y muy agradable vecindario..., simplemente espectacular!!!
