Good
My experience was very good, the staff was very helpful. The lobby guy offered to carry my luggage. However it was already a little after check in time and the front desk person was struggling to get me a room. I waited about 30 minutes, she was very nice though. The room was VERY clean, a big requirement for me. Great job house keeping.

Great Location
This is a good place to stay and be near the Northwestern campus and still have access to the "L" and Metra to downtown Chicago. It is within walking distance to downtown Evanston and near several fine places to eat, Parking is a bit much but very convenient. The staff is friendly, the hotel is clean, and they serve a continental breakfast. All in all its a good place to stay.

College Tours Made Easy
This is a perfect place for a visit to Northwestern as I was making this college visit with my daughter. The linens were very high quality and I loved the pillows.Also the breakfast was good and plentiful. Also we were able to visit without renting a car as the train lets you off within 1 block of the hotel. The school is also about 4-5 blocks from the University. An easy walk.The one downside is the lobby ....quite dark, dreary and unwelcoming...a stark contrast to the room itself.Also there are restaurants right across the street. Great for parents' weekend

Great Experience
I stayed here with a friend over spring break, and it was better than what we expected. We got a deal because of her dad's frequent traveling, which was very nice. We were freshman in college, and they still treated us like adults, which was refreshing. They were so helpful and understanding. The staff would ask us how the stay was going in passing, and the room was always clean. The beds were nice and fluffy and comfy. Really enjoyed it, and a great location.

Convenient location but over priced for the value
Although in a pretty good location, not impressed with this property while visiting Northwestern with my prospective student. For the money it was below standards. Our room smelled funny like old dust/musty, old wallpaper peeling, corners of room at ceilings had brownish stains. Bathroom had worn out tile. Not sure they could even get it all clean if they tried. The noise from the L was not overwhelming but annoying. No view. Our rate increased while we were there and I just felt it was not justified. Parking garage kind of scary. Breakfast was just ordinary. The staff was nice but not overly helpful. If we ever go back I'd try for a special at one of the Hiltons or even pay more. Just not worth it.
