Popular Evanston 4-star Hotels

Stayed on this property for two days. Upon arrival check in went smooth and fast. Vallet parking was offered and the two attendants were very friendly and easy to work with. The gentleman on day shift really enjoys his job and his polite and fun to talk too! The hotel is older and on our stay was under construction in the lobby area. There is no restaurant on site and the lobby at this stay only offered snack like options. As for the room, it was smaller in size but had everything you needed. The washroom was tiny however. The shower pressure really needs to be investigated as it’s not acceptable. Also the drainage in the bathtub. Each morning I was ankle deep in water while showering - not enjoyable! Bed was a king size and was comfortable. Not sure if I would stay here again, maybe after all the renovations are completed or if it’s brother property down the street is full.

In the small town of Evanston, the surrounding environment is beautiful and safe. It takes about ten minutes to walk to the northwest and about ten minutes to the local city center. It is a historical hotel. There are many people who live in nostalgia. The restaurant on the first floor is good.

My husband and I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Evanston for my daughter’s 7th birthday, along with our younger daughter who is 5. We wanted to stay somewhere that had a pool, restaurants/shops/nightlife accessible and also close access to the beach. We found all of this when we stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn! I really can’t say enough great things about this hotel. First: the location. It’s situated one block away from downtown Evanston, one of the best neighborhoods in the state of IL. There are limitless things to do and places to eat with the kids. Second: the hotel staff. They were so kind and accommodating! Cathy at the front desk knew it was my daughters birthday, wished her a happy birthday, and gave both my daughters a free treat to celebrate. There was always a staff member around to help, from someone servicing the pool to the guy that helped me get complimentary coffee in the lobby. Just a pleasure! They were so helpful and happy to help, I got the sense of being part of one big family while we were staying there. Third: the room. It was so clean with so many thoughtful component included to make our stay more comfortable. The were communications posted throughout the room notifying us of when/how the room was sanitized. All the complimentary toiletries were upscale and there was enough for my whole family. There’s just so many positive things about this hotel, a true gem, if you are looking for something in this area, it’s everything you are looking for and more.

This hotel is in a good location in Evanston and would be nice if it were accessible. There are two sets of stairs to get inside, and the lift was out of order. There was merely a sign that stated “Out of order. We apologize for the inconvenience.” My friend is a wheelchair-user and could only gain access to the hotel by going up and down an incredibly steep ramp in the parking garage meant for cars — not people. We informed the front desk and asked for another entrance and exit and were told the unsafe parking garage ramp for cars is the only way in and out that avoids stairs besides the lift. They told us the lift has been out of order for “a few days” and they only called an engineer once we told them about it. This is unacceptable — completely inaccessible hotel and fixing the lift clearly was not their priority. Also, one of the hotel staff was not helpful when we asked for assistance with our bags (we are both disabled and cannot carry them). She simply brushed us off and told us to ask security (there was no security person to help). This hotel really needs to improve their accessibility and disability practices as they are excluding a large percentage of the population and as a result, losing customers.

The location of the hotel is excellent, about 5 minutes from Northwest University, there are more restaurants downstairs, food supermarkets are also available, and the variety is also rich. The breakfast at the hotel was too simple. The room TV had no Chinese. The air conditioning sound was louder at night, but the rooms were new, clean and tidy, and the comfort was very good. If you go to Northwestern University, this hotel is a good choice.
