Excellent Evanston Hotel
Superb hotel. Great room and wonderful service. Perfect location for exploring Evanston and the north side of Chicago.
The only downside was bathroom door in our room got stuck and was difficult to open. Resolved the problem ourselves and didn't discuss with the hotel staff.

So close
Fabulous location, staff was very hit or miss on friendliness. Has a great bar, but the bartender could have been nicer. Needs a few bits of extras being that the rooms are very minimalist…hooks for coats, an extra chair, a place for cosmetics in the bathroom due to the pedestal sink

I was pleasantly by the condition of the Hotel. An amazing hotel for the price, obviously make sure to book well in advance if your stay coincides with NW University events. The rooms are quaint with high quality furnishings. The hotel is also located walking distance from anything you might want to do during your stay!

Cozy, convenient hotel.
Nice, cozy hotel. Website said restaurant was open all day, but in fact it was closed from 10 am - 5 pm and only had limited breakfast options. Staff was nice, and responsive to our requests.

Sep 25, 2024
The service was terrible. I had to make each request several times. I was given a room next to a broken elevator making a beeping sound. My room had to be changed for this reason at 2 AM. The person making the change was unkind about it and refused to take responsibility. It was one of the worst hotel stays I've ever had. Very disappointing, as I was exhausted and had looked forward to a comfortable room.
