8/10 Good

"2nd time staying here. And it's a nice hotel with a beautiful golf course. In a nice area with a few nice restaurants a close drive away. Restaurant was under renovation so we never got to try it. They where serving food in main lobby but we never tried it. Pool etc is definitely in nead of a tidy up steam room wasn't working and it just as an old feel to it. Staff where nice. Only downside I have to it is that it felt like the room where being used for social living as well as hotel guest. A lot of people only using the bottom door entrance to get in which was always unlocked. Strong smell of weed in corridors etc. I'm not sure what the set up is in hotel regarding the rooms with social living etc. but you could tell it wasn't people on a weekend trip. We still enjoyed or stay but I'm more reluctant to go back "

2/10 Terrible

"The room was filthy. I had my toddler with me and it was not at all to a standard where they could play. The bed comfort was awful and the pillows smelled terrible. The AC didn’t work and we desperately needed it and nobody could help us. The AC fan whistled all night so nobody slept. Literally the worst place I have ever stayed and I have to stay by the Chicago airport every other month or so. Never again."

Holiday Inn Chicago North-Evanston by IHG

Holiday Inn Chicago North-Evanston by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This would be the PERFECT hotel if there was a pool! I love the staff, the location is fantastic, the parking is reasonable and connected to the hotel. I have stayed here twice in the last six weeks and both times were wonderful. The breakfast buffet is FANTASTIC and it's $10 a person. I absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a soft place to land"
