No quiet, no parking, no peace
I cannot recommend the Hotel Lincoln for several reasons. First there is the noise from three different sources: a bar/restaurant located on the first floor, the hallway PA system playing disco, calypso, and rock music, and noise from the street below. I woke up 45 minutes after falling asleep to hear people partying outside at the bar. I had to ask to change rooms at 11:30. I could still hear people talking on the 12F in my new room. Music from the PA can be heard all through the hotel constantly as well as in your room. It was really excessive. Making matters worse the hotel doors were left wide open so that street noise was audible in the lobby area and second floor. Second, there was no parking at the hotel and the hotel's website fails to mention anything about parking. When you pull up, there is valet parking for $44 a night and no other information about where to park your car. As it turns out, there is no parking nearby either. The sign indicating the cost of valet parking was hidden between the mailbox and bicycle rack, so do not think the hotel is providing valet parking for free. Third, I naively gave the porter a $20 bill which was the smallest bill I had and told him to take a tip and give me the change. He took $10, which shocked me. While you could blame me for this, in the end it is going to cost the hotel more than $10 after people read this review. Would you go to a hotel where you cannot trust the people who work there? If they view the customers as an easy mark for parking and tips, what does it say about the rest of the management? Fourth, more indicative of the management's failure to consider the customer's experience, the printer in the 2nd floor business lounge area did not work. Avoid this hotel and find a hotel that is honest in its dealings with customers.
