Great value in Evanston

Very nice comfortable clean accommodations, friendly staff, nice area. Parking garage is a bit cramped with a sketchy entrance, but hardly a deal-breaker.

I had a one night stay for a concert I attended. The check in was an easy and quick process. Staff allowed me to check in early. The hotel room was quiet. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast the next morning was $10 and there was very limited options left (need to do better at keeping up with food) and the food was cold. Other than the breakfast my stay was worth it!

The hotel is in a great location. Seems very central to everything. When going to the room the hallways smelled like cigarettes and it is a non-smoking hotel. The rooms seemed very outdated and janky.

Room was nice and clean. My problem was the staff was some of the most unfriendly staff ive experienced at a hotel. There was 3 people in our 2 bed room. When we checked in we noticed there was one a single towel in the room. We ask about additional towels and was meet with "heres one two should be plenty and after a brief encounter finally got 3 towels for 3 people on a 3 day 2 night stay. Looked for a ice machine
