Cons:

It would be great if the hotel provided two luggage racks for the room

Pros:

Been coming here since 1990. Often stay here two or three times every 12 months. We used to live in the neighborhood so this location is perfect.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the last two visits I’ve not gotten the room I booked . In both instances your excellent staff made it all good. The problem is that the new room remodels pretty much lack any of the charm, if you want to call it that, of the older rooms (we usually do the suites) though with a warmer more comfortable decore. Sadly I think our 36

Pros:

The location and the staff

Cons:

The room, while comfortable, was not a Junior suite. It was a lovely average sized hotel room with a bathroom.

It was fine and staff is responsive to our needs.
Pros:

Location and previous stays at Lincoln Hotel makes it familiar. Allows us to bring our dog.

Cons:

Not quite as clean one set of towels. Had to go to front desk for bedding . Hot in the hallways and loud pounding music from the rooftop bar . Room wasn’t ready and had to settle for a different room at check in

We fell in love with Lincoln Park
Pros:

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.
