Ewww!

Super sketchy!! The location was exactly what I needed because I come to Urbana to see my daughter who lives a block from there and spend nearly no time at the hotel (thank goodness!) Dirty, smelly room overall. Leaky shower faucets with a tub that didn’t drain well. Completely unsafe stairway they roped off with crime scene tape on my second day. Thankfully I didn’t discover the cockroaches until the morning I was leaving.

Don't stay there!

The price of room was to high for conditions of room. The room was very cold, bed was very uncomfortable, 2 small little pillow for a queen size bed. Wall to thin, people yelling all night long . No breakfast. Never again. Close to university of Illinois, that was the best part...

Don’t expect much

Last minute business trip to UI that unfortunately coincided with move in week, this was the only place near campus available. I wouldn’t have chosen it otherwise and my instincts were proven correct. The hotel is shabby and dirty, with paper thin walls and barely functional A/C. Though I had a nonsmoking room clearly the carpet and walls (and possibly the bed) predate the change, because the room still reeked. Stains on the linens. Dubious electrical wiring on the lamps. The staff were friendly and efficient and the water pressure in the shower was excellent.

Only use as a last resort. The plastic between the mattress and the sheets was pretty off-putting. The age of the comforters and sheets was also a little nerve racking. The bathroom didn't really look like it had been cleaned. If the bedding looked better taken care of and the sheets didn't come off the bed in the middle of the night I could recommend the hotel.

Old dirty and dingy

It was a horrible experience, very dirty place. I've stayed at other hotels for about the same amount of money on a weekend like this and are much cleaner. Hotel is very outdated. Hardly any outlets and the ones that are there are behind all sorts of furniture. Even when you go to reception area it's horrible. I would rather stay at a campsite than the Lincoln Lodge.

The smoke smell nearly killed me

Positives - the service was friendly, the wifi was great, the location was handy enough, it was reasonably clean. Negatives - despite the no-smoking sign on my door my room was absolutely rank with cigarette smoke smell, took my breath away - fortunately my daughter brought a candle along or I wouldn't have been able to sleep in it. I assume the smoke comes up from the rooms below. The hotel is old and hasn't been renovated in decades - that's ok but the swastika carved into the bathroom vanity was offputting. Worse was the power outlet literally hanging out from the wall, and the lamp where the bulb fell over when I touched it trying to figure out how to turn it off - I doubt either of those meet any kind of code. Very thin walls so I could hear the neighbors on both sides. It was a place to stay in a town without enough hotel rooms, but it was awful.

Formerly iconic little hotel gone fully to seed -

I was in town for a reunion and remembered the Lincoln Lodge as a one-of-a-kind place with charming features and a homey ambiance. I could see by the prices and overall reviews, however, that it had dropped its status, but given that my priority was cost, I decided to take a chance. Yikes. First of all, the lobby of ANY hotel should be clean & welcoming. In this one, a dry, dirty mop was propped up against the wooden bar, where, presumably, guests would sit, with the lobby in general was musty and worn; faded and dusty. The sense was of neglect... no one's loved or taken care of this place in a long time! The man who checked me in was pleasant, however, accommodating my early arrival, which I appreciated, but that was pretty much the only good point of my stay. Photos of this place on various sites are deceptive. Yes, exposed brick walls and warm wood accents usually DO lend charm to a room, but these rooms have long ago lost their luster. Dusty, dirty, with ugly furniture that looked like someone raided a dump, and towels & bedspreads so thin and flimsy they suggested toss-offs from a dorm. Window shades broken, dirty carpet, dubious clean quotient, the overall whole was seedy and cheap. Though this was a non-smoking room, the odor when you opened the door was overpowering -- I don't know if it was smoke or just "old room," but not good! The bed was comfortable, it was relatively cheap; staff was nice, but that was it. Dark, dank and dirty; won't stay there again.
