Hotel Lincoln

Location, location, location and general friendliness of the staff. We stayed there on a special and paid about what it is worth, a third of the normal price A boutique hotel at this location is a great idea, but the decorating---plaids everywhere in a small space--is enough in itself to drive you mad. And it really doesn't cover up this was once a Day's Inn. You pay a lot of money for hotels in Chicago and this is a one of a kind location. That's about all it has going for it.

location decor is, in my opinion, a nightmare - trendy/eclectic but an overall mess rooms are tiny and also cheesy in design upstairs roof bar is great if you want a super loud clubby atmosphere. Would have been so much nicer without a DJ - let's leave that to Vegas.

The neighborhood and the adjacent coffee bar. The Hotel Lincoln itself is a mess. Although the place has a cool, funky vibe it already looks rundown. For the 5 nights that we were there the roof top bar was not open to guests because they say the elevator was broken however they were able to open for 2 private parties. The shower curtain rests 6 inches above the floor so the bathroom floods every time you use the shower. The cleaning staff did not replace bath mat or coffee. I had to ask every morning. The hotel doesn't even leave a bottle of water in the room for you. Half of the guys at the front desk were extremely helpful. The other half came off as rude or misinformed. Trying to get a straight answer regarding the roof top bar was near impossible. I would not recommend this place.

Good Lincoln Park location. Good restaurant. Too Crowded. Long lines to wait for a slow elevator fo get to your floor. Ice machines broken on several floors. Rooms are tiny and the bathroom even smaller.
