Some of the surfaces in our room were peeling off and generally kind of beat up. Wished they had complimentary coffee in the lobby. Instead they had a pitcher of ice water that was usually empty. Staff was nice, though some front desk staff were not super professional. Cleaning staff was excellent. Can’t beat the location in downtown Evanston!
