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.

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.

Beautiful, old building with thick cement block and brick walls which made it very quiet. Pretty carpet and furnishings in the room. Much nicer than the seemingly sterile, standard chain hotel.
