I stayed here after taking my Colgate student back from winter break. On a very snowy night it took about 30 minutes to get there from Colgate. It was very cozy to be in the cute downtown area with shops and restaurants, and extremely convenient to have dining options in the hotel itself, both a casual tavern bar downstairs with very friendly staff, and a more formal dining room on the first floor.
Generally the Lincklaen House has an elegant historic vibe, with a little lived in, worn charm, which I actually thought made it feel more comfortable and less snooty. My room was comfortable, but not fancy, which was appropriate for the affordability. The bed was very comfortable.
My only complaint is that I could hear a lot of noise from the other rooms both on the floor above and on either side, creaking floorboards from people above and conversation in the other rooms. Somewhat to be expected, it's an old place. There was also a fair amount of traffic noise from outside and light coming in from streetlights. A blackout curtain and some sound dampening measures would be a great investment, but all that said, the price and the convenience is right for a place with a great deal of charm. I'd stay here again.
