Convenient for visiting Northwestern and surrounding areas. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice-sized rooms. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping and train system. Parking is next door in a public parking area. There is a fee for parking ($13/day) but the hotel will validate the parking sticker so you have in and out priveleges all day. « less

Very comfortable room, very friendly and helpful front desk service...parking is next door ( you have to walk outside to get into the hotel) and is about 11-12 per day...not much compared with downtown Chicago, but of course you aren't in downtown Chicago. Easy walk to restaurants and Northwestern campus. « less

Was in Evanston for a class at NUCPS. From time I entered the building Iwas made to feel at home. The staff is superb!!!naming names would leave someone out but Todd was the man!!! Very attentive and personable which, you would expect from a bartender but, this guy went above and beyond!!! The front counter staff also also tended to the smallest of requests. Breakfast was made to order everyday and the dinner menu is comparable to many of the restaurants in the area. The general manager, Adrian Brewington, should be praised for the staff he has around him. I will definitely stay there on my next and future trips to this area. « less

Stayed here during a recent visit to Northwestern University (hotel is within walking distance to the campus). Comfortable bed and rooms, nothing fancy/luxurious (as you'd expect from Hilton Garden Inn brand). Served pretty good breakfast by the lobby. Pretty convenient parking (don't remember exactly, but about 12 bucks a day) and is connected to the hotel (always under cover, useful especially when it snows/rains). Used the gym once -- it is very small and has very limited equipment. Front desk was generally helpful with questions/directions. « less

I've studied economics, so I understand that given the limited supply of hotels within walking distance of Northwestern, you can charge Ritz Carlton prices for HGI accommodations. But if I'm going to pay this much for a hotel room, can't you please put a lighted magnifying mirror in the bathroom? The dim lighting makes me look like I have hepatitis, and I'm worried I'll put on so much makeup that I'll look like a "pro." Please help! « less
