Verified Reviews of Graduate by Hilton Evanston

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Handicapped Persons: Stay Away!"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
Almost no accessibility for disabled people in wheelchairs. I had to back in to access the bathroom. Getting out of my room was impossible, literally. My wheels could not get over the threshold so every day I had to ask if someone could come up and get me and wheel me down.

"Charming but need attention to maintenance."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Charming hotel with lovely decorating details. Our main reason for the lower rating was our shower did not drain well so we had to stand in dirty water while showering.
