This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. The property appeared outdated and poorly maintained. There was a noticeable gap at the bottom of my room door that was large enough for a rodent to potentially enter, which raised serious concerns about cleanliness and safety. In addition, the air conditioner in the room above was leaking, further highlighting the poor maintenance of the property. There was also very limited parking, and I had problems using my key card to access my room, which made the stay even more frustrating. The surrounding area also felt uncomfortable and unsafe. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this hotel for vacation or leisure stays. The actual pictures of the entire hotel should be displayed online for viewers to see instead of the misleading photos that are currently shown.

If you need simply a bed and parking then you are covered. Nothing else is available here. The people staying above us surely had a pet elephant - stomping across the floor went on all hours thru the night. The people in the room next to us were traveling the halls naked and the manager had a shouting argument with them at midnight. Lessons learned, we will not return here.

The lady at the front desk, the day that I arrived: July 24th at 10:00 pm absolutely hates her job and treated me like garbage. I had two huge pieces of luggage and she could not help me hold the door. I struggled in front of her for about two minutes. She was rude and I almost felt as she despised my presence. The doors close and are very hard to handle. She was simply really terrible. I will never stay at this hotel again.

Hotel was clean and close to Venice beach about a 10min drive staff is friendly area is in a good spot only thing is my air went out at like 5am and no staff was in office Intill 8:30am so I had to wait lady in the front made sure to call manager to advise but stated maintenance
guy doesn’t work weekends and couldn’t confirm a refund for a night if needed to look for another hotel since she stated they were fully booked which made me alittle worried since I had a baby with me but luckily in an hour she was able to get me another room so that was good but not sure how it would have went if there wasn’t but besides that everything was good rooms were clean and area is quiet but you do have to pay $15 a night for parking

Overall, my stay was good, but I was very disappointed with the front desk experience at checkout. We checked out about 10 minutes late because we accidentally overslept, and I understand that was our mistake. However, when I asked how I could access the parking lot after returning the room key, the front desk employee was very rude. She called our room and told us we had only five minutes to leave the property. The way she spoke to us made me feel like I had committed a crime. I completely understand hotel policies, but there is no reason to treat guests in such an unfriendly and disrespectful manner. A little kindness and professionalism would have made a big difference.

The rooms was very nice and newly remodeled. The water pressure was fine, etc. I was disappointed with the bar soap. It was quite inferior and didn't lather up.
I was also disappointed being charged for parking. This wasn't clear when I booked the reservation well in advance. Other hotels in the area do not have this practice. The coffee makers ate kept in the front office and guests are expected to carry them back to the rooms. With paying a security deposit, it seems unnecessary to keep the amenities locked up. Isn't that what the deposit is for? The overall stay was pleasant and quiet despite being on a busy street. The staff was also kind, friendly and helpful. I hope The Lincoln Inn can overcome these smaller issues.

I had much higher expectations for this place. When I arrived to check in on July 7, the front desk receptionist was not friendly at all. In my opinion, she was quite rude whenever I asked a question.

When we entered our room, it smelled strongly of cigarette smoke and marijuana. The room door also did not have a security latch on the inside, which made us feel unsafe.

The cleanliness of the room was good and I appreciate that aspect of our stay.However , the noise made it very difficult to sleep. Every time the guests in the room above us flushed the toilet or took a shower, we could hear the water running loudly through the wall right next to our bed.

Overall, we had a very disappointing experience.

The hotel was a huge disappointment. Most of the day, there was no one at the front desk, and a sign simply stated, “Will be back later.” When a staff member was finally available, they were extremely rude and unhelpful.

The area around the hotel also felt unsafe, with homeless individuals sleeping directly in front of and alongside the property. The bathroom had a strong, unpleasant odor that made the room feel unclean. On top of that, we were kept awake throughout the night by loud noises, making it difficult to get any rest.

Overall, the experience was far below expectations, and I would not recommend staying here.

Room was NOT sanitary, side bed tables were nasty and NOT properly wiped down and the room had a funny smell… Pull-Out couch was stained with something of a brownish color… Ew gross. Def NOT worth $150/night. When I went down in the morning the following day to complain to the Manager Tammy to see if she’d be willing to accommodate me and my 3 children she was rude, unprofessional and denied the fact that the room was unsanitary even after showing her pics and videos in my phone.

The Expedia pictures of the Lincoln Inn do not match how it looks in person. In other words, a catfish. It is close to a homeless shelter, so beware at night and go straight to your inn. The first night, I was skeptical of the place, and it seemed like someone was trying to get into the inn by slamming doors. Staff are not there 24/7. Staff leave between 6:00 and 7:00 PM. If you’re trying to be very cheap, then this place is decent enough. But beware of the noise. The walls are thin, and you can hear everything. Even loud stomping sounds. By the third night I stayed there, it felt better. I will say it is nice that the housekeepers come in the morning to clean your room. Overall, just a decent inn to sleep at night.

Going to be my new go-to whenever I visit LA. They include a $15 parking spot in a safe garage. It’s not too far to Uber to major spots in LA.

Housekeeper knocked on my door and within 5 seconds of knocking, entered my room. I was on my way to open the door and see who was there.. when you knock, you should give the guest a moment to respond before entering. This made me feel extremely uncomfortable for the remainder of my stay.

Rooms have a weird smell, however did appear clean.

Bedding was uncomfortable, a fleece blanket is a questionable choice for a hotel in Los Angeles…

Overall, it was a cheap stay so worth the price. I personally would not stay again, as I felt unsafe and mislead by recent reviews saying the place was updated. It is not. It is very much a cheap motel and that’s what you will pay for and get.

The hotel room was clean and looked as it did in the photos, however, I did not appreciate that the exterior and location of the hotel DID NOT RESEMBLE the AI generated photos depicted on Expedia.
The hotel's exterior looks worn and SKETCHY in person and I would never have chosen to stay there had I known that.
Expedia is shameless for engaging in this type of fraudulent practice.
That was the whole point obviously -- to trick naive travelers into booking a room at this place. Next time, I'll actually Google Map a place before believing that the beautiful exterior photos of the place are real.

When she finally came back, instead of apologizing, she was extremely rude. She even said she saw us waiting on camera—but still chose not to come out and help. That’s incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful to customers’ time.

1.5/5 stars
It was the worst hotel I think I ever stayed in lol. Whatever renderings they have on the website— ignore. Look at photos on Google Maps.
The moment I pulled in, they were having the 4 spots they call a parking lot resurfaced so I had to park in the middle of the driveway & go get a key to let me into the parking garage. It’s the creepiest parking garage you’ll ever experience and there was no other cars so I assume I was the only person staying at this hotel. The front desk manager wasn’t too helpful either, not very friendly. Luckily I only had to spend a couple hours to get ready and then go to dinner, and then got home late and went to bed and woke up and got ready and checked out… so total time was roughly 4 hours total in the hotel, but that was enough. The room smelled funny, there was makeup on the wall, sticky residue on the nightstand. The air-conditioning worked great and I distracted myself from the abysmal accommodations by watching a movie. TV & AC were the ONLY positives.
Traffic noise is pretty loud from Lincoln Boulevard, but that was the least of the worries. Everything from the toilet handle almost breaking off, to stains on the shower curtain and holes in the blanket made me feel like 1.5/5 stars is being generous. Pay an extra $50 more & go stay at a chain hotel or next door… oof.
