    The hotel is billed as a boutique hotel which assumes good fit and finish. That is not the case. There was a lot of scuffed floorboards, an air conditioner that appeared to be put in its place by eighth graders. The elevator had some paint or other stuff on its walls continuing with the fit and finish issue. The room was cleaned every day with no one suggesting the environmental advantages of not cleaning it...;). We also left our room late usually and the hotel still cleaned the room, made the beds etc. Well done! The room was very small but it did have a spectacular view of Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan. We lived out of our suitcases given the lack of space. There was no room to put down a yoga mat....and barely enough room at the "health club" for the yoga mat as wall. However, almost no one was in the gym during our stay so for two people it was fine. The price was about $100 per day more than usual which made our expectations higher. However, at its traditional price (based on Hotel.com pricing) the hotel was fine.

    This hotel has a lot of character. The location is great. The rooftop bar is fun with good cocktails and an amazing view!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I appreciated the drink vouchers to the roof top lounge. The roof top has nice views of the lake and city. The area feels safe. The Lake is walkable. The staff were friendly and kind. The room was clean.

    No microwave and the coffee pot was a little dusty, (I didn’t use it) otherwise the room and staff was good

    Besides that, everything was nice.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very clean and staff were incredibly friendly. Only complaint was lack of in room amenities, but now that I know I could be a bit better prepared and would definitely stay again.

    The staff was very unfriendly. At most hotels, the staff will greet you as you come and go. The staff here wouldn't even bother looking up. They gave us free drink tickets to use at the rooftop bar that evening and when we got there, there was a private party so we could not go. Would it have been nice to tell us? When I asked about it the next day, they said, "we didnt know about it" and went back to staring at their computer. We have been there before, but will not return. The room itself was OK, except for the very loud wall air conditioner that kept going off and on all night.

    Small hallways hard to move the luggage carts around without hitting the walls.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The location and the staff are great, but this hotel needs a refresh. My room smelled terrible and the window air conditioner was loud and unpleasant. The room was also carpeted and it made the whole room feel unclean. Grateful for the coffee vouchers at check in, the coffee is very good- but I did wish they offered bottled water at the desk or in the room. My last concern is security. No keys are needed to access the guest floors- not even from the elevator that services the roof top bar. It stops on every floor and is accessible right from the front door before check in.

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

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great location and the rooms were updated Hallway rugs were dirty, and hallway were a little dinged up. TV didn't work at all and couldn't stream.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I liked the complimentary drink at the bar each day I stayed. There were no unpleasant surprises.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    , dirty accent chair, weird curtains that barely closed and attached to wall by a hook that was coming out of the cracked wall, no Refrigerator and the roughest sandpaper toilet paper I’ve ever used The doorman was rude when I tried to punch the automatic door and acted like i was stupid. When I called to say there was no hot water Daniel said I’ll call engineering and hung up on me. The staff crowed the elevator and the huge rolling towel bin was constantly in the hallways. The location is the only thing going for this place. It needs some work. I do not recommend this place. On a side note literally every person I rode the elevator with had issues as well so I’m not just extra picky. I actually rarely ever write reviews but this place just sucked

    Very good

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

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