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.

I have stayed here on several occasions and always enjoy my stay. This stay was the best because we got free upgrades and although we came in late at night the staff was friendly like it was a bright afternoon. I look forward to staying here again soon.

Astrid, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

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
Be, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Michael, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Staff was great!
Adrienne, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Doing the bare minimum but charging the maximum
The heater in the room made rattling weird noises and was clearly falling apart. Despite two phone calls over two days and promises that engineering would fix it, it was never fixed and I constantly woke up. The bathroom also had pink mold in the corners.
