Hotel has a lot of character. Room was ok. Heat/air was a little problematic and seems to be controlled centrally. Workout room was very small. Valet takes a bit of time, as does the elevator. Great area though.

Great location close to the university. But the service level was inadequate. The room phone didn’t work, the kettle didn’t work. Called for service multiple times and then express displeasure before getting anyone to come and help.

Very pretty hotel, but a little heavy on Northwestern decor. If you are associated with northwestern I guess that could be fun. The TV was in an odd corner of the room- can’t lie in bed and watch. The biggest problem is the coffee situation- only instant coffee in the rooms, and no coffee in the lobby. That would help a lot especially if you don’t want to sit in the restaurant for breakfast.

Such a cute little hotel, convenient to Northwestern and a block from downtown Evanston. Staff and service were excellent! Rooms are cozy, and beds were ok. Restaurant was open until 10, which we really appreciated on our arrival, though it might consider adding a hefty vegan bowl or salad option. Overall, we loved this hotel and would come back again.
