Great location near downtown Evanston, in a beautifully updated, century-old building. The parking valets were a bit overwhelmed when we arrived, and there isn’t enough curb space on the street to accommodate multiple vehicles arriving at the same time.

Cute little boutique hotel with rooms that have the original character of the apartment building it used to be. No room service. Restaurant with limited options and very pricey. Asked for coffee in the morning and it was brown water - horrible. I was also given the wrong room when I arrived. Next door guests were very noisy - thin walls. Way too pricey for what you get. Would not stay again.

So much better than any of the chain hotels. Loved the quaint atmosphere, small but cozy rooms very well laid out. First time I have ever had a heated floor in the bathroom! Very convenient location, blocks away from downtown and about as close as you can get to Northwestern University.

I have stayed here on several occasions and always enjoy my stay. This stay was the best because we got free upgrades and although we came in late at night the staff was friendly like it was a bright afternoon. I look forward to staying here again soon.

I was pleasantly by the condition of the Hotel. An amazing hotel for the price, obviously make sure to book well in advance if your stay coincides with NW University events. The rooms are quaint with high quality furnishings. The hotel is also located walking distance from anything you might want to do during your stay!

Nice, cozy hotel. Website said restaurant was open all day, but in fact it was closed from 10 am - 5 pm and only had limited breakfast options. Staff was nice, and responsive to our requests.
