I've stayed her many times (multiple times per year). It's a fine hotel in a great location, and the staff is PARTICULARLY excellent. Never had a bad experience. Beware the ramp of the parking garage though - it's STEEP!

Handy to downtown Evanston. Easy check in. Our only issue was a room right by the door to the stairs and we could hear the door slam and subsequently rattle our door every time someone went up/down the stairs. Also we could hear people in the hall as loudly as if they were in our own room. I would stay here again but ask for a room not by the stairs.

Staff at the front desk was awesome. Stayed two nights but didn’t get our room cleaned. Had to request two new towels. Booked city view which you could hear the train. It didn’t wake us up. It was still a nice stay. We would go back.
