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.

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.
