Lincoln Inn Express Hotel and Suites

I found the Lincoln Inn Express hotel & suites on hotels.com and decided to book it for 2 nights. Main thing about this place was that the photos look decent enough and the price was within my budget. It was the first time staying in Oklahoma City ever, so it was important that I find a place that met my needs: affordable, safe, and comfortable. With that said, my friend and I arrived here on a casual Friday afternoon after a drive from Wichita, KS, but originating from Kansas City, MO. First impressions is that it is similar to lower tier hotel like Super 8, but the rooms were average, mostly importantly clean, organized, and the beds were quite comfortable, but it took a while before getting sleep. It was your typical set up without the all bells and whistles. For the most part though, the Lincoln inn Express hotel and suites was quite casual and just what we needed after a day of driving. It was as basic as you can get without breaking the bank. Prices here was around $55/night and I was glad that I picked this place. They ask for your drivers license and a major credit card upon check in. I basically had no problems during my stay. Everything worked properly and the double beds were comfortable to get in a solid 8 hours of sleep per night. The overall experience here at the Lincoln inn Express hotel and suites in Oklahoma City, OK was good and uneventful. It was quiet and I didn't hear anyone making noise next door, which is a very good thing when you're trying to get sleep before a running event. My friend and I got room 109 during our stay and it fit perfectly, especially when you come back after running a lot of miles and don't want to move up and down stairs. Lol The Lincoln Inn Express hotel is located at 5405 N Lincoln Blvd on the northern fringes of Oklahoma City. As mentioned before, they accept major credit cards, which is an industry standard, although you can pay with debit cards too. They have a private parking lot for guests to stay in. Best bet would be to have your own vehicle or rent one. Not sure if there is public transportation options here in Oklahoma City to get to the hotel or not, but there's always uber and lyft at your service from the airport to the hotel, should you need them. The Lincoln Inn Express does not currently have any type of airport shuttle service. It's as basic as you can get without the frills. Sometimes, that's all you need really!The check in service here was good and quick, although I had to wait for the guy to check us out. When all was said and done, it was a nice stay that was also average at the same time while being comfortable and affordable at the same time. The shower worked nice and the housekeeping gave us extra bath towels, which was nice. Everything was orderly and I could see myself coming back to Lincoln Inn Express hotel and suites here in Oklahoma City, if my travels permit me to do so. My personal view on lower tier properties is that if it's affordable and can be the same basic experience as those other top brands without the bells and whistles, then why not. It's always a tough call when you see negative reviews on yelp and myself had a good experience. I guess my outlook is different. Cheap travel is always good! Recommended if you are traveling through the Oklahoma City area and need an affordable place to crash. It's not the Sheraton, but it'll be comfortable.4.0 stars for the overall experience. 4.0 stars for the room comfort and cleanliness. 3.0 stars for the service, but 4.5 stars for the prices.Support local!B

Don't discount this hotel. The front desk was wonderful. The room looks old but nice for the price. Bed was comfy. Plenty of pillows. Wall mounted tv. Nice clean bathroom. No bugs. First thing I always do is check beds in every hotel. A/c works fantastic. Our bottom floor has a nice little sitting area through a sliding door with two chair overlooking the poolVery quietBreakfast has all kinds of starches: waffles, biscuits, oatmeal. No eggs or bacon. Grandy's is less than a mile away. Va hospital is a five minute drive. Will stay here more often.

DO NOT STAY HERE! We booked this place because lonely planet recommended it. We have talked with the book as well and they will be removing this place as a recommendation. About our stay - Walking in the front desk person was arguing with a guest who needed to switch rooms because the first room was unacceptable. The guest said she had stayed before and it was not bad as it was now. I should have run, but gave it a chance, deeply regret it. I got my key card and headed to the room. The hallways were filled with cigarette smoke and trash. I have bad asthma and could smell the smoke through my n-95 mask. I went back to the front desk to try and get a refund because it was not safe because of my medical needs to stay. They refused but did offer another room which also required walking through the hotel smoked-filled hallways, which I declined for medical reasons. I left they still charged me. I spent a week going back and forth with a manager who only spoke Spanish so had to get my uncle involved to translate. They said the owners would call me and give me a refund. They never did. Please just give us a refund. Do not stay here.

We arrived at the Lincoln Inn Express Hotel and Suites On July 18th 2018 at 9:16 PM. We checked back out July 18th 2018 at 10:26 Pm . Before we even got to the room # 141 some guy was hitting us up in front of the office for money. Then we couldn't find the room because there was no numbers on the doors. When we was going to the room the hallway smelled of marijuana. When we pulled the blankets back there was bugs in the bed , lifted the sheets up there was red BLOOD STAINS AND A LOT OF CIGARETTE BURNS IN THE MATTRESS. We go into the bathroom there was Black MOLD in the tub/shower. The Microwave had food caked on the glass in it . There was food left in the mini fridge.The table at the end of the bed wasn't cleaned. The lamps by the bed had black tape holding the wires together for the plug. There was a couple next to us with a PIT BULL that came out of there room charging at my dog . My dog was on a leash .'The same couple next door to us went outside on the patio and SMOKED MARIJUANA. When I went to check out and told the lady at the front desk about everything she said the there wasn't any complaints about the room . I told her about the couple next to us smoking marijuana.She said unless the cops catch them there isn't anything they can do.My husband is disabled and has a hard time walking up stairs ,she said there is only 2 step. And that my husband is allergic to the smell and touch of Marijuana . All she said is someone will call you in the morning 6-19-18 and no one has called yet .I called about 1:00 PM on 6-19-18 and talk to another lady and was told to call back tomorrow in 6-20-18 I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS UNCOMFORTABLE IN A HOTEL AS I DID THIS ONE.!!!! All I want IS A FULL REFUND. !!!!!

Management was super nice. I wish the hotel was as nice as management. The first room was dirty. So we switched. The second room had a water leak. Third room had bugs. After all of that I decided to try and get a refund. They were very understanding after all the inconveniences in 24 hours they gave it to me. I wish all hotel staff were this accommodating and helpful. Their customer service was awesome I just wish the hotel was in better shape because I would have stayed. The breakfast was awesome too!

this little spot is a excellent find. its definitely easy on your wallet . the Lincoln inn was perfect we stayed in the king suite very well priced and the room was very nice and big we had a balcony as well the pool was refreshing as well. the staff are very friendly and the owner was just amazing he made sure that we were comfortable our entire stay we will definitely stay here again..

This hotel is very run down looking and is very dilapidated. It was affordable so we did not go into this expecting the Taj Mahal but we did expect somewhat decent service, and sadly, that is not what was received. We stayed at this hotel on our way to a family get together and barbecue. With us we brought around $50 in steak and about $10 in ground beef for burgers. One of the main reasons we chose this hotel is because it advertised refrigerators and we needed to store our meat. The day of the reservation we had some car troubles with our rental car and ended up leaving Albuquerque fairly late in the day, resulting in us getting in at about 5:30 am OKC time. The nice lady at the night check in desk was very helpful and got us situated with our room no problems. When we got to the room the first thing we did was toss the well over $50 in meat into the the refrigerator and go to sleep as we had been driving for over 10 hours (with the car issues) and it was 5:30 am. Upon waking up the following morning and opening the fridge we were greeted by a funky smell and a nauseating warmth emanating from the fridge. A quick check of the electrical cable revealed that it was not plugged in and my meat had been sitting in a warmer than room temperature fridge for roughly 7 hours. I then called down to the front desk to make a formal complaint about the fact that the fridge was not plugged in upon our arrival (even had we plugged it in, refrigerators often times take around 24 hours to actually get cold) and was told by the gentleman that I had previously spoken to earlier in the morning while getting breakfast that the manager was not in yet and I would have to wait to speak to him. The owner of this hotel is so cheap that they actually make you sign off for the free continental breakfast and strongly discourage taking food back to other room occupants with stern and condescending glares, but I digress. I waited the 2 hours for the manager to arrive before I called down to the front desk again requesting to speak to the manager and was greeted on the phone by a "manager" that simply could not be bothered to actually hear out my issue. I gathered my things and went down to the front desk to have a face to face conversation with the manager about the issue seeing as over the phone he could not have cared less. As soon as I began to speak to the man behind the counter named "Nick Patel" if that is actually his name, cut me off and said that he had spoken to all of the house keeping staff and they are saying that they know for sure the refrigerator was plugged in. I tried to assure Mr. Patel that it was in fact no plugged in and he proceeded to cut me off every time I would try to speak and proceeded to yell at me. I asked him if he was calling me a liar, due to the fact that there would be absolutely no reason for me to unplug the fridge and spoil my own beef, and that had I unplugged the fridge it would have retained some of its chill into the morning hours as it was not opened again. Mr. Patel said "no I am not calling you a liar but that refrigerator was plugged in when you got into your room, are you calling me a liar/" I advised him "yes sir I am" because there was no way the refrigerator was unplugged by me or my traveling companion. After continuing to be berated by Mr. Patel and being told that he did us a favor by allowing us to check in at 5:30 am and shoved the receipt that said no refunds that was signed in my face "I wasn't asking for a refund, just a discount off of the room to help compensate for the lost product. Mr. Patel then informed me that it is the person staying in the room's responsibility to maintain the appliances and make sure they are functioning. I then asked for a corporate number and or his supervisor and he advised me that he is the owner and supreme overlord of this Kafkaesque establishment. I highly advise you stay far far away from this hotel unless you appreciate being abused and being told that you giving them business is them doing you a favor. Please spend your money somewhere else that doesn't look like it was transplanted straight out of the 70's, come to think of it, I should have checked the fridge, It only looks like it was the first generation ice box that no longer needed ice to be loaded into it and was powered by this new fangled El-ek-tri-cicty thingy mabob. Please heed this advised and stay elsewhere. It was a horrible experience and I WILL NEVER RETURN.

the room tv didn't work, no microwave, you have to use a plunger to flush the toilet stool, they over charged me for 2 weeks then they turned around and had no water on and said they working on it. mind you i've been waiting on maintenance to fix my refrigerator since last friday oh yeah they wanted to constantly remind me that the room was non refundable i guess i would've been off in the shelter..the staff is rude minus 2 of the people and housekeeping doesn't come until you leave

Don't bother! I have stayed in hotels across six continents and have never been in a "non-smoking" room that smelled so badly of smoke I had a headache. Decided to say elsewhere. In addition: No outlets, small bed, very dirty.

If you are ever in OKC, and need a clean, quiet, room, that's reasonably priced, this is your place. The staff was very helpful and friendly, the room was cleaned regularly, and fresh towels always on hand. The room had everything we needed, microwave, coffee, hair dryer, iron, mini fridge, wifi. Breakfast provided. There are laundry facilities, vending machines, and restaurants and convenience store nearby. It was close to OU Med Center, which is where we needed to be.This is not the Embassy suites, but reasonably priced. Just what we needed!
