Warning, this place is an absolute dump. The property is old and poorly maintained. The lobby doubles as a liquor store, with the hotel staff behind plexiglass. When I pulled in on a Friday night, the cops were there and a bunch of drunk people were in the lobby, playing gambling machines. There were drug deals going on in the parking lot and sex workers using the hotel for their customers. The property appeared nothing like it did in the pictures which were very deceiving. My room was absolutely disgusting. The floors were sticky, there were holes in the walls, and cigarette bars in the comforter. The door to the room looked like it had been pried open by the fire department at some point. I had booked this property for a two night stay and tried to get my money back, but the hotel would not cooperate and refused. I actually bailed on the second night and went to a different hotel and just ate the money - that’s how bad it was. I would never ever ever stay in a place like this again and caution everyone against booking this property.

Do NOT stay at this property. The pictures are inaccurate, and the sign indicates it is a MOTEL, not a hotel. It was unsafe with people loitering in the parking lot. The employees at check in were behind glass. My daughter and I did not feel safe and had to leave to find a different hotel. Both the hotel and Expedia refused to assist, even though we did not stay, putting our safety first.

As expected

Stayed there for the weekend with my daughter while to check in we were called a B?$@h by someone else checking who was asking the front desk worker a question because my daughter was crying. The workers were very kind and straight to the point. There were a few jumping bugs in the sink and the bed in my opinion wasn’t that comfortable (but I am expecting so that could be why). Overall the hotel stay was as expected for the price I paid for a weekend.

Worst hotel I’ve ever walked foot into. The moment you check in, you know you’ve made a mistake. The lobby is a liquor store and the clerk is behind bullet proof glass. We got to our room and it was dirty and if walls could talk, I’m sure they would have a lot to say. There was a suspicious red splatter stain by the bed, patched holes in the wall, the door itself looked like it had been kicked in during some kind of dispute (I have photos to prove). The comforter on the bed had cigarette burn holes and we found short, dark, curly hairs on a pillow. The couch in the corner had stains all over it. We immediately felt unsafe in this disgusting environment. I couldn’t even sit on the bed or couch because they were so gross. We went to our party (the reason we were in town) and had to leave early because our children were sick at home. This was around midnight. I told the front desk that we had to check out and go home to our sick children. I asked if we would be charged and she said “yeah you were here 4 hours and that’s enough.” I cannot believe that we were charged to stay at this place! We didn’t even sleep or shower here! We were only physically in the room for 30 minutes. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemies. I would appreciate if management would reach out to me to discuss our experience at this hotel. Thanks.

Tried to cancel before going into the hotel the app wouldn’t allow me, once I got into the hotel to just check in I could smell all types of smoke…it’s supposed to a non smoking facility and the first room they showed me smelled like smoke and I seen ashes in the corner. The second room also smelled like smoke,had stains and cracks in furniture and toilet was cracked. Asked for a refund they same no manager available until Monday. I went on the app to file a claim and on there booking said full refund until 6pm it was 4pm tried to set up a profile with third party insurance I paid for and it wouldn’t allow me to create a profile so I just booked another hotel!

The best part was the bed. Got amazing sleep! The daytime staff was great. The nighttime staff was rude. This is the first hotel where you had to request housekeeping to give fresh towels and washcloths. I was told by the rude nighttime staff that all requests for housekeeping had to be requested at the start of the day! Also, bring your own soap and shampoo, as the soap offered was yucky and there was no shampoo. I was accosted by a homeless man in the parking lot, and parking in the fire zone didn't result in any comments to the guests or towing.

Hotel was sufficient for what I needed. Nothing fancy but it did what it needed to do. Plenty of dining and gym facilities within a 10 minute drive.

Negatives: the guy working the check in counter was not friendly at all but could have just been having a bad day. Stayed 3 nights and no housekeeping any of those days. I guess I had to request it?? Everywhere else I have stayed housekeeping just automatically came daily. My last night there I had an unexpected room guest as a little mouse joined me in the room lol.

Overall for the price and what I needed the hotel was fine and if I am in the area again, I would stay here.

The Price is right for what You get. The rooms were renovated not long ago. There is a Fridge and Microwave in the room. I take public Transportation when I travel to see away ballparks. There are bus stops right outside the hotel to take you to subways that will take You to down town Philly, Freedom Hall/ Liberty Bell, Betys ross' house, Citzen's Bank Park and a bus to the Rocky Statue. It is very easy to get around to and from downtown from. Also, there are a couple of cool bars with a short Lyft ride and a Wawa across the street for snacks and drinks. They have a beer and liquor store in the hotel too.

So we booked a luxury room, but there was nothing luxury except one sofa .. it was covered in stains, when we lifted the pillow from the couch it smelled like corpses, there was dead bugs/cockroaches. it stank so much that we asked to take the sofa out of the room. The lady at the reception was angry and did not allow it, but she changed our room to another one without a terrible sofa, for which I am grateful. In general, the room looked clean if you didn't look closely, but if you look closely, you will see a lot of garbage on the floor; especially in the bathroom. In general, it was ok, the bed was clean and did not smell. I hope that after my review, the administration will throw out this sofa. However, I am sorry that people who stay in the hotel allow themselves to dirty the furniture so much. But it should be removed and such people should be fined.

I mean for what it looks like on the outside, the inside is completely different. The people that worked there were really nice. I think the only thing I didn't like was the fact that the bed made a lot of noise. The frame itself is like a hollow metal box. So if you hit it with your foot, imagine it sounding like something that is just nothing inside. I don't know if that makes any sense, but I am not really sure how to describe it. It just wasn't your normal bed frame.

Misty dusty Lincoln Hotel

The hotel appears run down even though it is on a very busy street/intersection. The receptionist was friendly but didn’t really care that the couches in the rooms are absolutely filthy. Covered in all kinds of weird stains. Her solution was to cover the couch with extra sheets. It was just very off putting. The toilet was covered in old urine. The heater vents covered in dirt. I switched to a few rooms and they were all this way. Even though no one was parked in the parking lot when I checked in. So a very empty dirty hotel. Save yourself money and don’t come here. Also the mattress was wrapped in a bed bug protector… alarming right? And all the rooms reeked of smoke. Even though they claimed the rooms were nonsmoking. Why even charge people a $100 incidental fee?? Stains, urine, and smoke filled rooms should have no additional fees.
