Nostalgia. I remember going to The Homestead when I was a student back in the 60’s. Well-appointed, comfortable room. Charming graduate touches like the room key, do not disturb pennant, and coffee packets. Love the front porch!

Hotel has a lot of character. Room was ok. Heat/air was a little problematic and seems to be controlled centrally. Workout room was very small. Valet takes a bit of time, as does the elevator. Great area though.

Very pretty hotel, but a little heavy on Northwestern decor. If you are associated with northwestern I guess that could be fun. The TV was in an odd corner of the room- can’t lie in bed and watch. The biggest problem is the coffee situation- only instant coffee in the rooms, and no coffee in the lobby. That would help a lot especially if you don’t want to sit in the restaurant for breakfast.

Such a cute little hotel, convenient to Northwestern and a block from downtown Evanston. Staff and service were excellent! Rooms are cozy, and beds were ok. Restaurant was open until 10, which we really appreciated on our arrival, though it might consider adding a hefty vegan bowl or salad option. Overall, we loved this hotel and would come back again.
