Solid option for visiting Northwestern. Close to everything, staff is great, and breakfast good. Interior seems about ready for a refresh, although everything was very clean. Garage parking very convenient, compared to valet at the other Evanston hotels.

Our whole floor smelled like marajuana smoke. Additionally, the walls are so thin you can hear the next room’s TV.

Second time staying here. Pretty quiet safe neighborhood. Nice breakfast. Clean comfortable room. But parking garage is very dark! And no lines painted. So people park every which way. Way to close to each other. Needs lighting. Thats my only gripe!
