Hotel Is Great Location and Base To Explore Chicago Area
At one time elegant and now comfortable, this residential and temporary stay hotel is neat, clean, a good value and has excellent location. If you're looking for that big hotel with the wide screen TV in each room, the hot tub, etc, this is not it. But if you're looking for a quaint, charming place as a comfortable base in order to play in the Chicago area, this is quite a find. Within a few blocks walking distance of downtown Evanston, Lake Michigan and Northwestern University, this hotel plays host to a number of foreign visitors who add to the ambience their various languages. When we go to Chicago to visit friends or to play, this is always the first place we look to stay.

A Wonderful Place in Evanston
This year we again stayed at the Homestead in Evanston. We had stayed there last summer for two weeks. Again we loved the place.Homestead is located in a heritage building in the middle of downtown Evanston. The building is very old and by law is required to preserve its exterior looks, and certain architectural details. This is not a luxurious hotel nor is it meant to be. However, it clean, friendly and beautifully located. The hotel has regular rooms, and also studio, one and two bedroom apartments. For long-term stay one can negotiate a better rate than that published on the site. We were able to get a great rate since our stay was close to two weeks. I would strongly recommend this place to travellers looking for a clean, well-priced, friendly hotel in downtown Evanston. Most restaurants and our favourite place ¿¿¿Wholefood¿¿¿ is within minutes. The hotel also provides complimentary parking for weekly stay. Parking is in a nearby parking garage.

Good location and curb appeal, goes down from there
We stayed there for a week for a seminar. The place looks great from the outside and the neighborhood is lovely. Reception is pleasant and friendly unless something goes wrong then they are less than helpful. There is no parking for the hotel so you must park (illegally) in the alley or in the front of the hotel to unload then go park and then walk 2 blocks back to the hotel. There is only one person at the front desk. He or she is often attending to an issue elsewhere, leaving the front desk unattended. Only one luggage cart available and no help. I love old buildings and old hotels so I looked forward to staying there but I was really disappointed with how dirty it was. The carpet was dirty, especially in the rooms but also in the hallway. There was a constant perfume-y smell in the hallways apparently in an attempt to hide the smelly carpeting. My room smelled of pesticides. The bed was very uncomfortable and the hot water in the morning was hit and miss. The worse part of the stay was the 30 minute fanfare of metal banging noise and beeping from the garbage trucks picking up garbage in the alley. This hotel would have a difficult time surviving were it not for its proximity to Northwestern and the large percentage of unsuspecting international guests who stay there. After all, the pictures look great!

The Homestead, an Ideal place to stay at Evanston
The Homestead, an Ideal place to stay at Evanston.Especially if you are around for any specific research at Northwestern University The Homestead is the ideal place to stay. Just a walking distance to the university and metro station, many food & restaurant options and stores are around. A good place to stay for 2-3 days. At a walk-able distance is the great Chicago Lake. Cheers.

Charming older property
Another reviewer called this old-school, and that's a great way to put it. While you could see it as a bit dated in some ways, like with an old, slow and small elevator, the place overall comes across as charming, with great service, a very convenient location, a pleasant breakfast room / lounge area downstairs, and a lot more character than a typical chain hotel.
