  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I really enjoyed this property.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It reminded me a lot of the old Observatory in Sydney - that is, it has a colonial era feel. Beautiful tree lined streets, colonial style architecture and design. Very nice. +1

    Room was comfortable bar is good 2 towel racks in the bathroom, not just one. The room is for 2 people but only one set of towels can be in the room. a shelf or counter to put toiletries, and the hair dryer, not just a small one over the toilet a mirror in the room, for the other person, not just the full length mirror, a mirror over the nite stand

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Charming hotel with authentic details and a great porch in front, beautiful interior and sizeable rooms My room was facing a wall, so very little sunlight Quite unhealthy choices for breakfast, croissants in the bar not up to standard (too fatty and heavy, not fluffy at all), decaf coffee available at the restaurant but not in the bar

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Liked veranda and seating there. Location wonderful. Bathroom amply large and convenient. Generally a quiet hotel. Nice bar. Did not like dark restaurant,nor breakfast set up.Was on 5th fl and did not realize rooms higher up had view of lake.Reception area small, was only that, no place to wait if hotel busy. Reception also only a window, a little difficult to get info if needed.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Nice hotel in a great, walkable location in Evanston and would stay here again, but it’s time for some new beds. My work associate staying in a different room made the same comment.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Don't book here. Especially if you're of color.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Terrible staff. Racist overtones. No professionalism what so ever. Front desk folks are so bad.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Staff felt put out for helping. I ordered a $40 steak and it was sent to my room with no cutlery. It was inedible. I couldn’t cut it with my plastic fork I had from lunch. When I called to explain the smell of the steak was revolting, I was asked if I wanted ginger ale for my upset stomach.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It’s ok. However, not worth the price, even though it’s really convenient to Northwestern. Rooms are plain. Bathroom is plain. Bed felt like old mattress. People were very nice, and the restaurant was very good. Service was excellent even when we had a power outage caused by the city. The restaurant survived on gas grill and served. I was very impressed with them.
