King Bathroom
Phillip Y.

We stayed here 3 nights to visit 4 children museums less than an hour away in Springfield, Decatur, Normal, and Peoria. Staff was wonderful to setup baby crib in king room. We had connecting rooms of 2 queen studio and 1 king suite with wet bar and large sofa. It definitely was more spacious than our previous connecting rooms in Hampton Inn Davenport. Housekeeping was nice as well as breakfast lady, cookie, who let us bring high chair to our room for mealtime. Also the desk in front of lobby ice machine had coupon for free car wash which was nice. Only complaint was that they cleaned one room and not the other. Front desk was nice to make it right. Also the connecting doors are fire safe self closing doors. This made it difficult to move from one room to another. We have toddler and baby to watch between rooms. The self shutting doors made it tough to prop open. So we had to use the locking bolt to keep door slightly open. Also if you just let the door close, then it would close fast and our toddler may be just behind to sneak into the next room. Otherwise this slightly older Hampton still hit all the high points for something in middle of nowhere. Location still pretty decent with Cracker Barrel next door and Culver's down the street. Also there was Walmart and Aldi not too far.

This was a very nice location right off the highway but, very quiet. Our room was very clean and had all the amenities that we needed. There was also a display case near the lobby that had all kinds of awards that the hotel has won. Pretty impressive. Unfortunately, the award winning ways were not apparent at breakfast. The tables were dirty when we arrived and we had to clean our own. The breakfast was ok but, there was no one around to refill things and keep them fresh. The biscuits were dry and the sausage gravy was tasteless. The fresh fruit was empty. And the tables were dirty when we arrived and we had to clean out own. May have to remove one of those awards.

Part 2 of my road trip from hell Was having insane issues from a recent trip to Punta Cana came back all backed up. Banged down some laxatives Unfortunately they decided to kick in on the highway This place was perfect. They let me in, twice to use the restroom. I was most appreciative Then we saw it comes with a free upgrade when you check in on yelp to a suite. We are coming back

Stayed at the Hampton Inn,Lincoln, Illinois!  Breakfast: Western omelets, sausage links, potatoes! Every day, a different breakfast entree!

Back again in early November for a few days. Very impressed with the customer focus and service. We arrived early at the hotel after taking a red eye into Chicago O'Hare! Due to full capacity the previous day, the manager, Tyler M had no king room to give us right away. In fact, there was nothing at all available. People had not yet checked out! But guess what? When his cleaning crew came in, he instructed them to clean a recently available king room first so we could get in & rest from the 3.5-hour drive! He also told us to help ourselves to breakfast. We ate, and after breakfast, our room was ready! Wow! We did get some sleep and were ready to visit family for a birthday celebration. On the last day, the business center computer wouldn't work. We couldn't retrieve our boarding passes. Tyler went the extra mile and found a way to get our passes printed out! Superb customer service! Tyler went beyond exceeding excellent in service. Truly appreciate everything he did for us! Friendly, personable, compassionate, and caring! We thank him wholeheartedly and will be reaching out to him on our next visit! Great role model for Beyond Excellence in Customer Service! I highly recommend staying at this Hampton Inn Hilton Facility in Lincoln and reaching out to Tyler!

I might want to add some cold water first...

Even after a few hiccups my first night, I stuck it out for a 2nd night at an incredible reduced rate on a Jacuzzi suite. This place is privately owned (they also owns the nearby Holiday Inn) and it sure appears to be well maintained. I signed up for #hhonors, which links all 13 Hilton brands as a family and offering the best rate anywhere. Friendly staff and the pool/hot tub always makes for an enjoyable experience. I would stay here again.

Clean bed linens.

See all

Clean and cozy! Not as nice as most Hampton inns for the price, but much better than the other hotels in the area.

One of the best Hampton's I've seen. Friendly, clean, nicely decorated. Good breakfast with nothing missing.

Update on Hampton inn. My wife woke up hacking from the smoke smell in the room. My son had flies flying around his continental breakfast.

Location was easy on and off the highway, Cracker Barrel right next door for dinner and plenty of gas stations.

BEWARE!!!! I have stayed at this hotel numerous times over…read morethe past 10 years. I had a major issue this time that was not resolved by the hotel manager. I arrived last Friday. I packed my suitcase Sunday afternoon for my flight home Monday, but did leave it unzipped overnight to throw my bags of cosmetics in. I arrive home Monday afternoon from the airport and start to unpack, and there is a live mouse in the suitcase. It jumped out and is in the bedroom and we still have not caught it. We have never had a mouse in our home before. I had guests coming and this happened in the guest bedroom and I had to go get a hotel room for them as well as dispose of the suitcase and personal items. The manager has the nerve to say to me how do I know the mouse came from the room. I was highly offended. Do you seriously think I brought it up from Florida!! She refunded one night and said that was all she could do because I couldn't prove the mouse came from the room. I told them last August I saw a mouse in the elevator shaft and she did admit they had a mouse problem at that time. Apparently, they have it again.

This place was a great disappointment after having stayed in an excellent Comfort Suites in Dodge…read moreCity Kansas, and an average one in Bonner Springs, Kansas. Inconsistency seems to be the mark of franchises. The first room we were given smelled of stale cigarette smoke, had a non-functional phone, the door keys barely worked (third try mostly worked), and the lady at the desk confirmed the locks & phones were outdated and being upgraded over time and therefore had issues. The lady at the desk switched rooms for us, and was quite nice while interacting with us (we were there around 11pm, possibly near midnight). The second room... well, we examined it more and that just lead to more unpleasant discoveries. It smelled musty but not smokey. While the phone worked, the lock bar on the door was broken on the door frame side (I didn't test to see if it would hold the door shut). The room was shabby/worn, looked like it wasn't cleaned (clearly not vacuumed, and inconsistently dusted), had stains in various places (pillow, comforter, tub/shower), there was a shoe-print on the bed we didn't use, and some kind of white dust or powder was on the back of the corner chair, hidden by a little decorative pillow. Weirdly, the tissues stank (maybe just ancient tissue stock sold cheap). Most unpleasant of all, the toilet had someone else's hairs and a spot of old-but-still-moist urine behind the seat. The less bad: despite obvious age and wear, the bed & pillows were fine and smelled of bleach, so we assume it was sanitary. It wasn't loud that night, despite a lot of people apparently staying the same night. The highway noise didn't bother my girlfriend and I managed to block it out with earplugs. We felt like the price we paid was not worth the experience overall and were eager to get back on the road and hope for better luck elsewhere. I hate giving bad reviews but I have to make use of this system to inform other people who might avoid the same negative experiences.
