Nice property but very noisy
It is a lovely property but smallish rooms. Be warned, the room next door had their TV on and it was very loud/could here it through our walls making it difficult to get to sleep. No dedicated parking available, you'll need to find your own on the street.

Great location and beautiful hote.
The room was amazing. Lake view with a fireplace (non functional). Great service and location for my wife's graduation ceremony from Northwestern. Our 2nd stay there and we love it.

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.

So much better than any of the chain hotels. Loved the quaint atmosphere, small but cozy rooms very well laid out. First time I have ever had a heated floor in the bathroom! Very convenient location, blocks away from downtown and about as close as you can get to Northwestern University.
