Great location for our purpose(college visit). Hotel itself and room were very clean and comfortable. Garage could use an upgrade in lighting-seemed rather dark. Restaurant was adequate. Staff was rather "hot and cold". Some were exceptional, others only tolerable. In room coffee is always nice, but please...should be resupplied daily when housekeeping is done.

Hotel was good, staff were friendly & helpful. There’s a bus stop 5 minutes away to take you to the train station to get to the downtown, because hotel is 30 minutes away from downtown Chicago. Other then how far it was, we had a really amazing valentines weekend

Fantastic and Friendly Check-in Staff

I have been familiar with the Holiday Inn Chicago North Evanston for over 10 years. The stays at the Holiday Inn have been a combination of business and pleasure. I have been fortunate to meet staff members who are pleasant, positive, friendly, knowledgeable and know the value of customer service.
