Suman, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A great location for our vacation this week-An easy walk to the beach, to Northwestern, to public transportation, and lots of dining options. The hotel desk employees were kind and helpful and our room was nice. You could hear the purple line from our side of the building (which runs early and late) but it didn’t keep us from sleeping -we were so tired from our days’ adventures!
Patty, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location in Evanston. Purple line train runs and is noisy frequently. Elevator is very slow. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Parking is good.
William, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very comfortable and a great location in downtown Evanston.
Anne, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

It’s one of my favorite places to stay when I come to Chicago for work. I love that you can walk to the beach of Lake Michigan. I wish the restaurant and bar were open for more than just breakfast. The hotel appears to be understaffed.
