“Home Sweet Home”
I loved the location of the hotel. It's in a quiet neighborhood with great restaurants and bars. It's very close to the Dempster Rd "El" station. There was a great view out of my room on the 8th floor. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. It was such a comfortable place to stay that my friend and I would refer to going back to the hotel at night as "going home." I would definitely stay there again!
“The best hotel in Evanston area”
I think that this is the best hotel in Evanston area in view of service and price.
“A Good Hotel to Come Back to”
Attending my son's recital at the university, my wife and I found this hotel to be very clean and comfortable. Its proximity to the university was most helpful. The staff was courteous and pleasant. The continental breakfast provided was a great start to the day, and the restaurant across the street offered a delicious and affordable dining experience (including a discount for hotel guests). The hotel has its own parking garage; a plus where parking spaces on the street are costly due to metering. Unfortunately, the hotel charges its guests an additional daily fee to use the garage - which I found to be the only drawback to our stay.
“Good Value”
Very clean and comfortable. Price was reasonable. Still within walking distance of NU Campus
“it was awesome!”
it was awsome experience! i can't wait to visit again.
“wonderful staff”
This hotel is my home away from home. The price is right and the staff is wonderful. Do not like to pay for parking, but we can not have it all. I had an issue with my room and the staff was fast to correct it.
“Friendly staffs”
friendly staffs though little bit pricy. the breakfast is too simple
“Review”
The receptionists were very helpful and professional. I enjoyed my stay and also enjoyed the friendliness of the saff and guests.
“Great overall hotel experience”
Very nice experience. I'd be happy to stay at the Best Western Evanston again - and will!
“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....
