This was a great stay. The price was a little steep (for a college student), but the quality definitely matched. Staff were phenomenal. Location was very convenient for getting to NU. Staff worked with me to make sure my needs were met. Overall, the experience was good. For a standard sized room, it felt like there was plenty of space.

Wonderful Stay: Great Hotel, Location and Price
We had a wonderful stay at the Graduate Evanston. Our room was spacious, and very clean and cheerful. The hotel lobby is both super cozy and elegant. Every staff member we met was very polite and friendly. The hotel is also conveniently located between Downtown Evanston and Lake Michigan, right next to public transportation. We enjoyed all of this for a very reasonable price.
