Our experts HotelPlanner experts periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person.
"Close to all Evanston has to offer"
Overall score3.5/ 5
Location, location, location. This hotel is within walking distance of everything you would need and want to see in Evanston. Visit this property during a Northwestern Football Game or stay with them for a graduation and/or Wedding. This hotel can accommodate groups needing double rooms and can offer competitive rates. Wonderful value. All rates include breakfast and internet. Enjoy the pool during the summer and walk to the lake. Restaurants, shopping, movie theaters and entertainment all nearby. The purple and red lines trains to the city are just a block away. Complimentary shuttle service nearby within 1-2 miles. Guest rooms are large and clean. Set to begin a complete renovation Fall 2013 this hotel will only get better.
