Average hotel in great location
Reviewed By katkinso13On check in my room literally had trash on the floor (wrapper, plastic cup, cap, etc.) there was hair in and round the sink, and the carpet didn't look like it had been vacuumed. Bed was comfortable and linens were nice. The living space had twice as much furniture as needed, which made it difficult to move around.

Old, dirty, over priced
Reviewed By mdinchiThis place is a rip off. $220 per night gets you outdated, dirty, old room. The windows have wood shutters for drapes/curtains. The shutters didn’t work so the way they kept them shut was with band aids and plastic tape and it did not work let alone keep the light out. Duct tape would have worked better!! The bathroom was dirty and the size of a stamp. There is no restaurant, bar or room service just overpriced junk snacks in the lobby. Parking off a public self pay 3/4 blk away. A Motel 6 off the freeway would be cleaner Give your money to someone that cares!!

Want to give credit to hospitality of some; but the obnoxious One makes this a no-return
Reviewed By ginaRamI went with a friend; we had two rooms and checked in separately. We both had a nice check in experience and the fellow behind the desk was very nice and super helpful. Angela was nice too. The third person I met at the desk (hexagonal glasses, sedentary, big eye-roller) was very difficult. The usual things you ask for at this kind of hotel--can I get an extra key?, where is breakfast served? How do I get to the pool?--are a bridge too far. Punch line is my friend and I didn't talk about it till we left; he called her the eye-roller, and said when she was there, the security guard (nice too) was his only hope. My friend said he just tried to save his questions or requests for when eye-roller with hexagonal glasses was on break or off-duty.

Chicagoland, Evanston's, Boutique hotel. Close to Northwestern University and 1 block to public transportation.
Not a good time to visit
Reviewed By GoPlaces735574My husband and I planned a weekend getaway to this historic hotel but only stayed for one night. The gentleman on duty at the front desk was very friendly and helpful when we checked in to the hotel. The historic areas of the building were closed due to COVID-19 and there was no delicious breakfast as described by other patrons. The bed and tub were clean, but there was no soap in the soap dish or bath room rug, and the washcloth was literally in shreds. The shower current was stained and there was a hole in the ceiling. The air conditioner did not work. When the maid started to vacuum my husband developed an allergic reaction which led to us checking out a day early. I suspect a good carpet cleaning and vacuum cleaner bag change is in order. When we checked out the woman at the front desk continued to talk on the phone without acknowledging me for a few minutes as I waited to check out. When she finally put the phone down I handed her the room keys and told her we were checking out. She said “is that all” and did not bother to ask about whether or not their was any problems or if she could be of some assistance. We will not be returning to this establishment.
