When I heard about this place, I could not wait to stay there. It was exactly as described. It’s very old fashioned, and that is the point! If you don’t find a pink and black bathroom from the 1940s exciting, you would be happier staying somewhere else. Please also note that there is no air conditioning, just a window fan. It was hot like hell when we were staying, but we managed. There were some cool old artifacts in our room, such as an old camera and a hilarious advice book about how to catch and keep a man. We enjoyed that. One thing that was unavailable was ice. The owners offered to give us ice from her fridge, but we were wishing for a lot of ice.
For years my wife and I have passed by this place numerous time and never thought about staying here. My wife saw this place on PBS a couple years ago and thought it would be nice to visit. This weekend we decided to do a weekend roadtrip and stayed here. It's cold out with some snow dusting on the ground so there's really nothing to do outside. When we went into the room we found the gas heater on and the room to be very cozy and warm. When we turned the radio on as instructed by the owner when we checked in it was like going back in time where there were no TVs. Not that I would know because I'm not that old. Lol. But all in all we loved it and will definitely be returning hopefully in the summer time.
I like to go on 2 day "stress relief" trips twice a year and this year I went to Lincoln Motor Court. What a great decision !!! I take my little doggie with me and we both had a fantastic time! Relaxing... and so wonderful! The cottage was fairly shining with cleanliness. The owners are very nice and always wanting to make your experience everything it c an be. (even their pooch was welcoming). You have cable TV, small microwave & fridge and window fan, which is all you need for a cool room. We set on our little porch and enjoyed the peace & quiet. The price was very reasonable. They only have 12 cottages, one is a romantic place for newlyweds or loving couple. The others have a double and a twin for a couple and child. Fluffy towels and quilt top mattresses... what you'd expect at a 5 star hotel ! Very close to Shawnee State Park and retro sightseeing attractions. We will go back !!!…
This is one of the original motels from the heyday of the Lincoln Highway. It’s great that they’re saving and restoring this place. Although there’s still a bit of work to do they’ve already done a great job. Very cool place to stay. A great slice of Americana!!
If you saw the program about the Lincoln Highway on PBS you saw this Motor Court portrayed very favorably: such was not our experience. When my wife of 53 years and I arrived at 4pm, there was no one to greet us, no one to show us any of the vagaries and vicissitudes of the property, no one to offer a cup of coffee... no one. We found our key and got situated in a 1940's sort of room and we visited the 9/11 Shankville Memorial. When we got back I attempted to go on line and found I needed a password and thankfully one of the owners was in their "office" and when I rang the bell she asked who I was and told me I needed to pay my bill. Charming. And that's what was missing: charm. We are in our mid-seventies and thought this would be fun and were this placed owned by older people who cared it might have been... ah, yes.... the things that might have been.…
