To begin with, I asked for two rooms near each other and for one to have a microwave and a refrigerator. I even called from the airport when I arrived and said that we would be there as soon as the other party got in, reminding them again that I wanted a microwave and refrigerator in one of the rooms. When we got to the hotel, they had given away one of the rooms, so we were now on two different floors. There was no refrigerator or microwave in either room. I called the desk, and eventually they brought up a very dirty microwave and refrigerator which I cleaned out. Then there was the shower that was never hot and on one morning was actually cool and not even tepid, which was how it was on its best days. I did not eat the breakfast, but the other party did....once. After that we went out to Le Peep, which is a few blocks away. Better breakfast for same amount of money. I don't intend to stay at this hotel again, although I have spent 5-6 days there each summer for probably 4 or 5 of the last 6. It seems to be going downhill.
good location

Easy to get around, but breakfast was not worth the money. Luckily there were many places to eat and shop within walking distance.

A very lovely hotel, five minutes from the train to the city center. To the loop, it is about 30 minutes per train. About a 10-minute walk to Lake Michigan and restaurants and little shops are nearby. The post is within 10-minutes' walk as well.

The rooms are clean and well-maintained. The hotel is right in the center of downtown Evanston, which has many interesting places to shop and to dine.
