Lincoln Inn

I booked 2 nights for 2 of our technicians, double beds. Our employees had a terrible experience at the Lincoln Inn in Venice. As soon as they walked into their room, it reeked of urine. The fabric chair inside had a huge stain, clearly the source of the smell, and instead of properly addressing it, the odor was just covered up with air freshener and cleaning chemicals... causing nausea to both guests. On top of that, they found dead cockroaches in the room. When they brought their concerns to the front desk, nothing was done to accommodate them or offer another room. Our employees ended up turning in their keys and booking at another hotel. To make matters worse, when I called to speak with a manager, she was not only dismissive and rude but also stated there are no refunds regardless of the condition of the room. Completely unacceptable conditions and customer service. We will never stay here again and cannot recommend this hotel to anyone.

Booked a 2 double bed room, and they gave me a queen with a pullout. Lady at the front desk tried to claim it was a bed. Didn’t get what we paid for. Did not switch our room either. Room smelled strongly of chemicals but was clean. Place looks run down on outside, hallway smelled like a dead animal. 35 minute walk to canals/beach, neighborhood isn’t too bad. Also, parking is an extra 15 dollars. On the plus side, it was a locked garage which felt secure. But the parking fee was also not advertised. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Overall, the hotel was good, not the best hotel ever but it was good. It was very neat and clean when I entered my room for the first time and their cleaning service was very nice as well! I wasn’t interrupted or disturbed at all which was nice. The location was okay.

I booked a weeks stay here last October (2024) and I really enjoyed my stay. I booked a Jr. Suite and the room was spacious, very clean and the staff were great, especially Latron. My only complaint, the WIFI was very unreliable and I burned through my e-sim plan quicker than I would’ve liked. The building would benefit with some signal boosters. I’d take some of these negative reviews with a grain of salt. Seems a lot of people are paying for a budget hotel and expecting The Ritz. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Don't stay at this place!!! The room was dirty filled with roaches dead and alive. Once we spoke to the front desk clerk she said she didn't believe us and asked for proof. We showed pictures and video she then apologized and said they had just sprayed the rooms but she would write and incident report. She advised we speak to the Manager the next day which we did. Tammy the manager was extremely rude. She said I Dont care!! If you have issues take them up with Expedia.

All the comments below should be taken with a grain of salt and be considered with the understanding of the price point. This is not the Four Seasons, nor is it priced like the Four Seasons. It is inexpensive and for our money, the pluses definitely outweighed the negatives considering what we were paying for our stay. Pluses. Updated Rooms and clean. The rooms were fairly recently redone and are nice. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean. Oddly there is no closet but people probably aren't staying that long so not a big deal. The parking lot below the Inn was spacious and we felt very safe leaving our car there overnight. Minuses. You have to ask for ice at the front desk and when I went to get some in the morning the office was closed so I had to come back half an hour later. Then when I was handed a small bag of ice it obviously had been partially melted, then refrozen because what we got was basically a ball of ice about the size of a small kids sized soccer ball. The only other real negative is the property itself is older and we unfortunately had a room (111) that was on the ground floor and the only window was basically on top of the the reception area parking lot. We only opened the drapes once and then kept them closed when we realized that if we left them open someone could literally step out of their car stand 2 inches from our window and watch us. Other than putting up some privacy screens I can't think what else they can do to prevent this

Clean rooms and an excellent location. Parking is included, which is a huge plus in LA. The building is a bit old, but overall a very good stay.

My girlfriend and I had an idea overnight flight and was not going be able to check until after the check in time. We showed up around 1:30am and there was no one on the property to help us. We called the number that was giving to us and there was no answer. We were force to look for another location at the last minute. The next morning we called to see if our reservation still stood. We were u aware that there was not going be anyone on the property after certain hours. They cancelled our reservation due to a no show and said we only booked for one night when we had it for three nights. Terrible service and understanding of those who have overnight flights. Also location seems sketchy. We were also not the only ones who were there at the time we showed up. Would not recommend.
