This is not about the guest rooms bc we were not overnight guests. This hotel has so much potential. Interesting, historic building. On a recent evening in December, valet was MIA and front desk was no help whatsoever. “Oh, I guess he’s not here”. No kidding. Main room with bar was festively decorated but due to furniture placement, there were no available tables and chairs. A couple here and there were occupying a grouping that would have seated 6 or more, but it felt intrusive to join complete strangers bc we were a party of 4 friends who wanted to visit over drinks without loudly talking across a room-sized arrangement of furniture with people we didn’t know. The woman behind the desk who was not helpful regarding the valet, told us not to move furniture when we wanted to add a 4th chair to our table. A group of women had already taken chairs from other tables to seat their group of six. Imagine to learn after all that awkwardness, that there didn’t appear to be cocktail waiters. None. So we asked “Miss Unhelpful” at the desk how to order a drink. She said “I guess you just get it at the bar”. The bar, where there was one bartender who did not seem to be making any progress with people crowded around . We observed other folks attempting to carry drinks across the room to their friends, sloshing all the way. Cocktail napkin anyone? It’s really a shame. The bar and cocktail waitstaff could have made a fortune that night. The piano player/ vocalist was very good. We eventually gave up on a cocktail and went downstairs to dinner. At the bottom of the stairs was a great cavernous empty space with a sensory overload of lights, flames and more lights. Strange, wasted space. We really wanted to have a fun night out and would have happily paid and tipped a cocktail waiter. Please resuscitate this place before it flatlines.

We arrived at 4 p.m. in mid-December. The Christmas decorations were as spectacular as ever. For the last five years we have come at this time. The hotel has changed. There was no welcome proseco, the quaint little hot chocolate station was not set up. There was nobody at the bar. The rooms are spectacular. Spacious, elegant, romantic, and the linens are top notch, the bathrooms are heavenly, and the gas fireplace creates a beautiful ambience. We attended a Christmas concert and arrived back at the hotel just before nine. A surly bartender was closing up, and there is no bar service or food after 8:45. this is a hotel!!!! The front desk clerk had told us the bar would be open until 10. Sadly, we went to bed. I love this old building with its charming nooks and crannies, but I fear that this place might not survive. We had a lovely cappuccino in the morning, down in the lobby, but again, we had the place to ourselves. We shared the space with the cleaners who were washing the beautiful wood floors. So much effort has gone in to creating a beautiful place, I hope the residents of Biddeford will support such a magnificent addition to the town.

There’s a lot to like at the Lincoln. We spent two nights here with two other couples, on our way to Boston after a wedding farther northeast in Maine. It’s a brilliant adaptive reuse of the historic building. Everything inside the Lincoln is fitted out to luxury standard. The lobby is super welcoming and we enjoyed drinks at the bar and playing cards late into the night. Our room on the third floor was large, cool and comfortable. Only complaint - the very dim lighting in the bathroom and lack of a full length mirror. Fortunately, the third floor elevator lobby is lined with mirrors so all you had to do was step outside your room to check out how you looked head to toe. All the fittings and fixtures are very high-end, they spared little expense in building out the Lincoln. Batson River in the lower level has a great vibe and excellent food. We also dined at Pacifico nearby and of course went to the Palace Diner for breakfast.

We had no issues. Staff were helpful and available. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Especially the lobby with its numerous seating arrangements. The room was amazing. The architect and attention to detail down to the littlest detail was extraordinary. The restaurant Baston River restaurant was just as elegantly designed. Waitstaff was attentive and food was very good delivered quickly and hot. I have no issues with either establishment and would go again as soon as we are able

The Lincoln Hotel is a wonderful option when visiting Maine. The building is gorgeous, and during the holidays it’s truly magical — the décor makes the entire space feel warm and festive. The staff is very kind and welcoming, and the overall design of the hotel is really lovely. There are a few operational challenges that could definitely be improved - coffee/breakfast area is backed up, especially on weekends, since there’s only one person working. Simply adding a second staff member would make a big difference. Additionally, if there’s live music in the lobby, the sound carries right up to the rooms, which isn’t ideal if you have kids trying to sleep. The bar also seemed understaffed, we couldn’t get a drink at our table because there were no servers working the room. There is so much potential here, and with more support for the food and beverage team, the experience could be fantastic. A beautiful hotel that just needs a little refinement!

This hotel is lovely. A beautiful reception and bar area. Welcomed with a glass of Prosecco and parking directly outside. The room itself was amazing. Similar to a very famous hotel we have at home - the Titanic hotel in Liverpool UK. The bed was so so comfy and the fireplace was just lovely to add to the feel. A towel radiator in the bathroom would have been useful. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. A great couple of days stay and it’s perfect for hopping an uber into Portland!
