Other than the loose toilet seat that should have been repaired before we checked in, the room was very good and we especially liked being within walking distance of the places and venues we needed to go.

I always stay at this Holiday Inn in Evanston--about once a year--when visiting family. The staff are warm and professional, the facilities, while not new, are comfortable and clean. The views from the higher floors are great, and the place is convenient to downtown Evanston and the lakefront, parks, etc. I will still again. And again.
