Please don’t deny someone smoked in my room.

The hotel put us in a room where someone had clearly been smoking. They simply said we don’t have smoking rooms. Which is a cheap cop out. If the hotel actually cared, they would have come up and checked for themselves. I was just blown off. Luckily, I had booked this room via Hotels.com who immediately issued a full refund as you might have. I’ll be booking through them more now.

I’m not remembering names, but the ladies working Friday evening and Saturday morning were the nicest front desk hotel employees I’ve ever encountered. Absolutely perfect stay.

First off, when you get there, there’s just so much appeal. It’s a cute little hotel in an older building and fits in with the vibe and area of Evanston. When we got in, we were greeted by the nicest front desk lady (sorry, I forget her name). Check in was easy and smooth. Next, she tells us that she left a gift in our room (exciting!). The inside was just as cute and on theme as the outside. Definitely gave 50s/60s college vibes. Same with the room. Our keycards were cute little student IDs, which I thought was a nice touch. The gift that we received was a goodie bag with snacks and candy and beverages and a canvas bag. It was so cute! Overall, I loved the hotel and enjoyed our stay. The only thing that was tricky was parking. There’s only 2 hour parking around the hotel so if you were to leave your car there, it would probably get ticketed so they told us we had to move ours every 2 hours but we were gone most of the day in it anyways. This only applies for certain times throughout the day.
