What guests think

The Lincklaen House delivers historic charm in a walkable downtown setting, with many guests praising its friendly staff, comfortable rooms, and popular on‑site tavern, while others note trade‑offs like no elevator, variable Wi‑Fi, and occasional street or bar noise.

Reviews often describe the building as quaint and characterful, but room sizes and furnishings vary, and some find beds very firm or high. Dining gets strong marks, though the included continental breakfast is basic. If you value historic ambiance and location over modern conveniences, this inn fits well.

Absolutely love that they are a historic building and dog friendly without huge pet fees. It really helps-- and I always avoid places with big fees so will definitely stay again

The room was great. It was a little tough being on the 2nd floor and having no elevator with luggage. Other than that, very nice.

The property definitely had an early colonial charm about it having been established in the 1820’s. The tavern downstairs was definitely well patronized. Parking was a tad challenging but not a game changer.

The good: well located, charming decor, and a super helpful staff. Cute pub in the basement and lovely outdoor breakfast patio. Nice shops and restaurants nearby and the front desk recommended a beautiful winery within a few miles. Possibly the most beautiful bed I've ever slept in. The bad: My 86 y.o. mother and I had to shlep our luggage up to the 3rd floor ourselves - no elevator and no porters. That would have been nice to know beforehand. Coffee was terrible, but cafe next door rocked.

Nice stay for the price. It may be important for some folks. This hotel does not have any elevator. It wasn't an issue for us, but may be a deterrent for others. Staff was friendly.

Charming place with a ton of history. However, they need to do a better job with cleanliness in the rooms. Our room had three major stains on the carpet. The windows blinds were covered in dirt. I was afraid to touch them to open and look outside. Our bathroom ceiling had orange spots all over it. Finally, the cornflakes we almost opened for breakfast were three months expired.

My family stayed here for just one night over Labor Day weekend as a not quite last minute getaway. The inn is a great, historic building with lots character, especially in the common areas. The staff with whom we intercated were all helpful and courteous. We ended up ordering room service and there was no additional fee charged, which is rare these days. The area in which the inn is located in walkable to multiple Cazenovia restaurants, small businesses, parks, beautiful residential streets with early to mid 19th century homes, and the former Cazenovia College campus. On the downside, the hotel suite that we stayed in lacked the character of the common areas and had cleanliness issues. Aside from the impressive king bed with carved bedposts, the suite otherwise felt like a generic short term furnished apartment. There were dust and crumbs in the corners of the sitting area and bedroom, some stains on a side table by the door, a piece of ribbon tied to an overhead exposed pipe, and an old bar of bath soap sitting with its wrapper on top of the frame for the sliding shower door. The room gave the impression that it was cleaned, but hastily, after the last guest left. There were no cleanliness issues with the bedding.

The building is old and could be very charming, but it was not very clean. While the staff was friendly, they didn’t seem to communicate with each other very well. Our room was not ready when we arrived, which was fine, but the front desk didn’t seem to be aware that the room hadn’t been cleaned yet. Dinner was not inexpensive, but the risotto was undercooked, and the rest of the food was mediocre. Additionally, the very cheerful wait staff also seemed very disorganized. We never knew which waitress was actually in charge of our table. We left to eat breakfast elsewhere because breakfast choices were very limited.

The staff helped me carry my stuff up as it was very difficult for me. And then when I checked out another person helped me, take my stuff down the stairs. I had a wonderful dinner in their restaurant. I recommend this place!

I checked in at around 8:00 pm and the woman at the front desk was so sweet and accommodating! I had stayed in The Lincklaen House in 2018 and was so excited to return and spend the weekend in Cazenovia. The hotel is charming and rustic and historic, but my room was just really dusty and rundown. Hope guylly the hotel can have a refresh that preserves its historic charm while getting rid of the old rugs and such. I would still come back in the future! The bar and restaurant are wonderful and the town is so beautiful.

Very nice historic building with very friendly, helpful staff and 3 very nice dining options on property. Please be aware that this is an older historic hotel/building in very nice shape mostly, has three floors but does not have an elevator. Also be aware that if your room is on the main street side of the building it may be on the loud side. The road, while being a pleasant downtown main street, is also a truck route.

The property was very clean and maintained Since it is on a main street expect some noise but it didn't affect our sleep Continental breakfast was good but there were only 4 tables in the breakfast area. - so get there early. They said they have an overflow area but did not see one. Ask at the front desk if you can't find a table for breakfast Would stay there again

Came up as a Valentine’s Day weekend trip with my partner. Cute town, located in the middle of shops and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and the hotel itself had multiple dining options available which was convenient for a snowy night. Very cosy atmosphere with fireplaces and decorated to highlight the history of the building. Everything was very clean and the bed was comfortable, the room spacious. We loved the jetted tub in the suite. It was a solid choice for a good price. Very close to Chittenango state park

This is a lovely historic hotel. We loved the atmosphere. The best thing about this hotel was the restaurant. I had one of the best dinners of my life here, and I’m in my late sixties. The only complaint would be the road noise from outside. It did quiet down after 10:00 pm. I should have read the reviews and opted for a room closer to the back of the hotel. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast was the normal continental, but more than adequate. I would stay here again if I am ever up this way again.

This is actually a great historical hotel. Just be prepared for the fact that it is old, but that's exactly what I liked about it. The 'free breakfast' is basically just a make-your-own-waffle, bread for toast, and maybe some cereal; so, don't get your hopes up there. However, the little pub down below is great and seems to be a go-to for the locals. Overall, it's a great, nostalgic place and well worth the stay.
