What a joke. First the lobby had to be 85 degrees and stunk. We went to our room and it wasnt any better. The room didnt look like the picture. The floor was sticky. I guess they cleaned it with kool-aid. There was paint falling from the ceiling. There wasnt a smoke detector. The chair they had was flaking off all over the ground and there was bugs. We decided not to stay there. We went to the front and said we needed a refund that the room was gross. He said we would have to go through expedia and get it. So i try to go through hotels.com. They called the hotel and they refuse a refund. I called the hotel and he still refused the refund. The town should demolish this hotel and run the owner out of town so nobody else has to go through this crap. This hotel is a nasty stain for the town. Only book the honeymoon suite if you want a divorce.

Rooms are nasty. The bears had blood and come stains in them. Everyone had to go out and buy sheets and pillows from Walmart. Almost getting a fight with the Indian owner told us it was not a Hilton. It was just terrible.

The pictures displayed are so old from 2007 everything about this hotel was misleading. Cobb webs dead bugs everywhere stains on the sheets. Stains in the tub the carpet was wet. Furniture was broken, the bulbs were taken out of almost every lamp. For the price I would say it needs to be cheaper. The amenities listed are not included, gym was closed, the pool looks like it has not been in service in years. The kitchen had a tanning bed and want accessible. Just not a great stay I felt filthy laying on the sheets.

The owner and manager were very nice people but nice doesn’t mean the stay was pleasant. We had to by owner own comforters and sheets. We cleaned the rooms because they had hair in the tube. Sheets had cigarette smoke and burns.

Room was clean halls were clean but some of the areas were cluttered with random stuff. Neat that the world's largest covered wagon is just outside. Was informed that we had no hot water when we arrived. Staff was very friendly and informative about the situation. And since we were arriving very late and just needed a place to sleep for the night we stayed.

This is an abandoned building. It's condemned - with a "NO TRESPASSING" sign - on the front entrance. Upon attempting to check in (no one was there), we walked around the building and there are no door handles on the hotel rooms. It is very unsafe, appears there is likely illegal activity going on (drugs, trafficking, who knows?!). It's very scary! We went up the street to another hotel and were told by the manager there that the property owner at Hotel Lincoln Inn "lives on the property" and just takes peoples' money and refuses refunds. The owner of the property called us about 30 minutes after we left, yelled at me, denied the condition of the building, refused a refund, and hung up on me. SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND MONEY - don't go here!

Pool was closed, but it had more of a 'hadn't been used in years' appeal, with ladders and equipment all over and the pool cover on that looks old and molded. The sheets in the bedroom were stained, pillows looked like they were brought from home all used and frumpy. Had to check for bugs, to make sure. Very sketchy parking lot with a car jacked up missing cad. converter. No breakfast, plus there was a tanning bed in the dinning area, not even working! Security camera in hallway was hanging by cord. There was glass from a smashed beer bottle outside of the front entrance when we "checked out" (by putting our room number on our key card in a locked clear box) along with one of the "workers"? Car, or her babysitter for her child who she had hanging out there. The passenger side window on one of their car's smashed, which was the same car that was there when we checked in the previous night with no smashed window or smashed beer bottle in the front entrance. Just woke up early and got the heck out of dodge!!.

Worse hotel in Lincoln,Illinois
My husband paid for two nights but the man at the front said we only paid for one night. I had our receipt that day two nights. But the front desk service would not let us get in our room for the second night and the service was very rude .. we had to get the police involved. The room was dirty and had spiderwebs , we only stayed because we didn’t read the reviews and it was to late at night to go anywhere else . DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE PICTURES. DO NOT STAY HERE EVEN ITS YOUR LAST RESORT.
