Doing the bare minimum but charging the maximum

The heater in the room made rattling weird noises and was clearly falling apart. Despite two phone calls over two days and promises that engineering would fix it, it was never fixed and I constantly woke up. The bathroom also had pink mold in the corners.

Coffee

We had a great experience. The only thing that was disappointing was that coffee was not available in a simple way. We had to wait in line for at least 20 minutes to get 2 cups of coffee to go. We have been staying at The Homestead for years and coffee has always been complimentary and readily available. Not sure why this change was made but we hope this returns to complimentary coffee again. We don’t mind paying for it but it definitely needs to be more convenient.

Excellent Evanston Hotel

Superb hotel. Great room and wonderful service. Perfect location for exploring Evanston and the north side of Chicago. The only downside was bathroom door in our room got stuck and was difficult to open. Resolved the problem ourselves and didn't discuss with the hotel staff.

Great location near downtown Evanston, in a beautifully updated, century-old building. The parking valets were a bit overwhelmed when we arrived, and there isn’t enough curb space on the street to accommodate multiple vehicles arriving at the same time.

So close

Fabulous location, staff was very hit or miss on friendliness. Has a great bar, but the bartender could have been nicer. Needs a few bits of extras being that the rooms are very minimalist…hooks for coats, an extra chair, a place for cosmetics in the bathroom due to the pedestal sink
