It’s one of my favorite places to stay when I come to Chicago for work. I love that you can walk to the beach of Lake Michigan. I wish the restaurant and bar were open for more than just breakfast. The hotel appears to be understaffed.

Pool

The hotel was nice and pretty much as advertised. However, it was advertised as having a pool. One of the reasons we booked the hotel. We were looking forward to it since Chicago had multiple days in the high 90s and heat indexes between 105 to 108. Pool was under repair and blocked from usage.Web site should have reflected that. May have made a different decision.

Constant wind/whistle noise all night. Had huge spider webs on ceiling, curtains in the room. Judging from this, the room has not been cleaned. property looks dated. Staff is excellent, polite and informative. No elevator to top floor of the parking. If you have heavy luggage, use 1st or 2nd fl. Parking.

First stay in Evanston.

I enjoyed my stay at the Holiday Inn in Evanston. I decided to spend the night there to be closer to the Aragon Ballroom to see AEW: Collision live. The Purple Line Express is convenient to get me there from Davis Street to Wilson and walked a few blocks to Lawrence. The only complaint was not able to get into the Wi-Fi on my Google streaming stick when the check mark didn't appear to accept. I used the mobile hotspot on my phone to connect the streaming stick. Other than that, the area is nice and quiet and has the CTA, Pace, and Metra to get around.
