“Horrible & Run Down”

President Abraham Lincoln Hotel

Save Review
1 of 5 stars
Lexington, Kentucky
6 May 2008

This hotel has had a lot of ownership problems the past couple of years since they lost the Renaissance Hotel name. The state of Illinios is apparently the owner now after the hotel went into receivership.

My stay was memorable in that I had a back ache for 3 weeks following my stay at the Abe Lincoln. The beds are HORRIBLE! Worse than I could imagine a hotel that was supposed to be a 4 star hotel according to Priceline. This hotel would barely rate a 1 in my book. Thank goodness I didn't pay the rack rate for a room here or I would have felt more cheated than I did. The hotel sites need to send a representative to this place so they can see it is clearly not a 3 or 4 star hotel. It's unfair to the traveling public to rate this one of the top hotels in Springfield. I would rather stay at a Red Roof Inn than at this hotel.

“No HVAC”

President Abraham Lincoln Hotel

Save Review
1 of 5 stars
Havana, Illinois
28 Apr 2008

This place has an old 2 pipe HVAC system and to save $ (?) they decided not to turn on their chiller. The hot days really heated up our room and the locked windows could not be opened. When I complained, the desk told me that maintenance would unlock my window. The guy who showed up gave me a lame excuse that “he could not find the tools he needed to open the window”.

A very uncomfortable night.

“Served it's purpose!”

President Abraham Lincoln Hotel

Save Review
3 of 5 stars
Muncie, Indiana
29 Mar 2008

We just got back from a two night stay. Booked for $60 a night on priceline (bid). The lobby was nice but the rooms were outdated. The tv was like a 19inch but it did have alot of channels. The reason we stayed here was the location. It was an easy walk to all the Lincoln attractions downtown and the price was another factor. The hotel had an indoor pool (3ft at shallow end and 4ft at deep), a hot tub, a fitness room and a sauna. They have availability to the internet via a computer in a locked room off the lobby, you just have to get the key from the front desk. Self parking in the garage is $6 a day and you get to come and go as you please. The Clarion hotel (rated #1 on tripadvisor) looked a lot nicer, has free breakfast and free parking. I still don't know if that would make it worth the difference in the price. Depends on what you want I guess.

Great location to visit the Lincoln sites! Staff is very friendly. Hotel is clean, although a little dated. There was some type of convention at the hotel the weekend we were there and they upgraded up to the top floor so we'd be away from the noisy conventioners. Would certainly stay here again.

“Management is poor”

President Abraham Lincoln Hotel

Save Review
2 of 5 stars
San Francisco
19 Nov 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

We were with a group in Springfield for a funeral. The location of the hotel was great but we were unimpressed with the facility and staff. The attention to detail is really lacking. It doesn't take much to have a checklist for the employees of when to dust public areas or when to do touch up painting. We found most of the employees to be uninterested in the guests (and we are very nice people). This is a sign of management that isn't present or doesn't care. Most guests will be happy if the staff is nice to them and the hotel is clean.
