When I booked it through Travelocity, the room was identifed as a Business Studio Suite which according to the Afforadable Inns website is a kitchenette. The actual room didn't match up to the description very well. It also surprised me that there was not an elevator at the facility which made it more difficult for my wife with her MS. Having said all this, the facility was clean and a much lower cost than the surrounding motels so that was good.

It’s an older looking hotel from the outside but inside it is one of the cleanest hotels I have stayed at. Bathroom , sink , bedroom all super clean & well maintained.

Very affordable and staff was friendly no frills but the king suite had a full kitchen..
This is a diamond in the rough. Don’t be fooled by the older building, it is clean, the air conditioner was better than two of the big names hotels I’ve stayed at. It actually got cool. It was cozy, quiet, and people were friendly. And true to its name, affordable. I would stay there again.
If your only objective is to save money then this property will suffice. The other hotels in Evanston are very expensive. Room seemed clean but the property has seen better days
