"Close to all Evanston has to offer"
Overall Score3.5/ 5
Location, location, location. This hotel is within walking distance of everything you would need and want to see in Evanston. Visit this property during a Northwestern Football Game or stay with them for a graduation and/or Wedding. This hotel can accommodate groups needing double rooms and can offer competitive rates. Wonderful value. All rates include breakfast and internet. Enjoy the pool during the summer and walk to the lake. Restaurants, shopping, movie theaters and entertainment all nearby. The purple and red lines trains to the city are just a block away. Complimentary shuttle service nearby within 1-2 miles. Guest rooms are large and clean. Set to begin a complete renovation Fall 2013 this hotel will only get better.

Verified Reviews of Holiday Inn Chicago North Evanston by Ihg

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Largely fine. One elevator malfunction soured it a lot!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
One elevator shut down leaving only one. Long waits! Stairs difficult with the one on the east side leading to NO way to escape. Just went down to the very warm bowels of the building, maybe furnace area. Had to climb all the way back up. Very difficult, even a bit scary! The exit steps on the west side at least finally allowed us out near first floor. Very poor marked. Actually not marked at all other than an exit sign on the east side. Other than that, many signs of an old hotel, but everything worked well and rooms were clean and comfortable!

"Stay in Evanston."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We were disappointed that we were given two towels instead of three towels as there were three of us. It was frustrating that all the bathrooms on the lobby floor were locked. One nice thing was they thru let us store our luggage when we went out for breakfast. A guy at the front desk gave us some water bottles which was very nice of him. The TV did not work! It would turn on but would not move to any channels. That was very frustrating! The pipes broke on Friday night so there was no water for five hours.
