8/10 Very good

The hotel was clean and in good shape. The convenience of its closeness to campus and to downtown Evanston restaurants were both definite perks.

Great check in service and very comfortable beds.
Carol, 1-night trip

Great location!

The location of this hotel was phenomenal! Close to a lot of restaurants, shopping, and the train. It was an older hotel and I disliked the parking ramp, but it was a reasonable hotel in a good location.

Location

The service here is impeccable. Tip if you are an IHG member you get a discount on parking. The rooms are older but it’s totally walkable to the south part of NU’s campus, unless the weather isn’t cooperative.

A great place to stay !

The front desk staff is amazing! They are so friendly and helpful. The team member who was working on Friday, September 5 around 4 PM is absolutely amazing. He is so helpful every time I stay at your Evanston location.

Denise, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent place.

Our stay was fro pleasure. We loved the proximity to the train station. It was relatively clean and quite quiet. The breakfast was ok for the price, but nothing more than what you get for free at most places. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay.
Jacques, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's worth the price, location was good...

Friendly workers, great breakfast.... minorly outdated, safe enough area, Pool/hot tub is not open at this location anymore. Workout area was subpar, but at least they had one.

Mixed review

Good things: helpful staff, great room cleaning, nice lobby, better-than-average hotel breakfast, convenient (paid) parking, small shops and cafes near-by. Not so good: pool closed, broken bike machine in gym, some free weights missing, awkward design in room with two queen bedroom that had small bathroom and only one chair, ice machine on different floor.
Steven, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The beds were comfortable, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast buffet had something for everyone.
Jan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location with restaurant access

Overall, the stay was good. The hotel needs some updating and more cleaning. My bed was very comfortable and the buffet breakfast was very good. The desk staff were very nice and helpful. Great location to the nearby restaurants and lake. Parking garage needs a complete remodel.

Wonderful service from front desk staff!!! Give them a raise! Adequate hotel but needs an update. Some moldy smell of unidentifiable origin in bathroom. Mats in elevator tagged, parking lot needs a power wash and more lighting.
