“Very accomodating staff.”

Rates are good compared to downtown Chicago. Parking fee was not indicated on the expedia web site. All in all, a good stay.

“Second stay”

Easy access to the train - lots of cool shops and dining options. Perhaps not as "nice" as other Chicago hotels, but at half the price it is VERY serviceable. Breakfast kind of lame....

“A hidden value in Chicago”

This property was conveniently located to my morning travels. You never really know what you're going to get the first time you stay at a property but I have to say that I was pleased with my choice. When I travel to Chicago on overnighters....I usually arrive late and leave early, so it is always nice to have things in proper order when you arrive. If I had any complaints at all...it would be that I do not recall a warning that parking would be extra...you expect it downtown - but not necessarily off in the burbs....

“Older hotel, but great service”

This hotel was a bit dated, but the service and location made up for it. The room was clean, and I particularly liked the nice white sheets and white sheeted comforter; in a hotel, this is always better than a bedspread (that doesn't get laundered after each guest). There is a nice variety of restaurants in walking distance, and a convenient parking garage. I would definitely stay here again.

“Convenient, hospitable, and comfortable”

I took two friends with me to see family in Chicago and we stayed at the Best Western in Evanston. It was very comfortable and extremely convenient both for driving into town and for using mass transit once we were there. It is a very nice experience.

“Very pleased with stay”

Our stay there was great. We weren't able to find what we needed in Chicago in the price range we needed. Staying in Evanston was perfect because we were close enough to Chicago, but there was still plenty to do in Evanston... great shopping and food! We'll stay there again when we go to Chicago!

“Not disappointed”

I reserved a room based on previous reviews and was not disappointed. I really appreciated the proximity to the university, shopping and restaurants. It's in such a quaint area that I think the feel of being in an older motel added to the experience. It doesn't have bells and whistles and it's not brand new, but wonderful location, safe, and very spacious.
