Graduate by Hilton Evanston

The historic atmosphere. The remodeled bathroom was fine. Good, wide shower.

Lacked the open, wide entrance. Very small reception area. I was expecting a grander, historic hotel. Room floor was not super clean.

From the inside to the outside, it has a warm and inviting feel. The rocking chairs on the porch are a great touch and usually filled with happy rockers. We loved our room and how it wasn't a cookie cutter room like most hotels. The restaurant food and ambiance was excellent. From now on, this will be my go-to hotel when I visit my daughter at Loyola.

I didn't like that I couldn't stay longer. 😊

What a fun place to stay! Room was spacious, service was excellent, and we loved the front porch! Just a few suggestions.....better coffee in the rooms The instant coffee didn't work for us. And pillows were too stiff, but other than that...so much to like! Would definitely return!

12mi walk to northwest university

excellent

Great hotel. Great vibe. Rooms are small. Elevator is small. Great location to campus, downtown Evanston, the lake and the El.

The staff is always lovely.

Everything was fine except the thermostat in the room. It was set to 68 (on cool) and the controls did not work, so I couldn't adjust it. I contacted the front desk twice about it. Once I was told they could bring a heater to my room - what?! And make the cold air blow more to keep it at the 68 setting that couldn’t be changed?! The second time I was told they would send a technician to check/fix it right away. If they did so while I wasn’t in the room, nothing changed. The thermostat controls never worked during my stay and the room stayed cooler than needed/comfortable, particularly at night.

Alex was superb, and the food options were excellent!

Lack of organic food options and sea salt.

Accommodations were spacious and clean. It is across the street from a cemetery which didn’t bother me.
