Friends who have visited Chicago several times recommended Hotel Lincoln to us as first-time visitors. And we loved it! We took the train from Port Huron, MI to Union Station, Chicago and after a very reasonably priced cab ride, found ourselves being welcomed by the delightful staff at the front desk. Our room was ready early so we were able to settle in right away. It was spotless and very well appointed in keeping with the whole retro theme of the hotel. Though a bit smaller than a traditional hotel room, there was enough space to put everything away. The king bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows, linens and towels were of high quality. The neighbourhood (Old Town/Lincoln Park) was great, with load of neat places to eat, drink, shop or stroll. We felt very safe at all hours of the day. The hotel even has bikes that guests can use free of charge for up to 2 hour at a time. Downtown was only about 15 to20 minutes away by bus or taxi. But most of all, it was the staff who made our stay so enjoyable. No request was too much trouble for them, from booking tickets to a White Sox game to knowing what bus to take to get to an attraction. So professional, yet warm and friendly at the same time. This place is a real gem and we'll definitely return.
