Such a cute little hotel, convenient to Northwestern and a block from downtown Evanston. Staff and service were excellent! Rooms are cozy, and beds were ok. Restaurant was open until 10, which we really appreciated on our arrival, though it might consider adding a hefty vegan bowl or salad option. Overall, we loved this hotel and would come back again.

Beautiful, old building with thick cement block and brick walls which made it very quiet. Pretty carpet and furnishings in the room. Much nicer than the seemingly sterile, standard chain hotel.

Very pretty hotel, but a little heavy on Northwestern decor. If you are associated with northwestern I guess that could be fun. The TV was in an odd corner of the room- can’t lie in bed and watch. The biggest problem is the coffee situation- only instant coffee in the rooms, and no coffee in the lobby. That would help a lot especially if you don’t want to sit in the restaurant for breakfast.

Great location and beautiful hote.

The room was amazing. Lake view with a fireplace (non functional). Great service and location for my wife's graduation ceremony from Northwestern. Our 2nd stay there and we love it.
