First - the good news: the bathroom was clean and the front desk staff were nice. The room we stayed in looked nothing like the rooms on their website. It was dark and the furniture looked like it was purchased at a flea market. There was no tv due to their provider, they said, for all four days and they... More

If you don't much care for standardized chain hotels and prefer something rather different, try the Margarita European Inn in Evanston, Illinois. The Margarita is a converted hostel for women, and some rooms don't have a private bathroom, therefore. Some do, and so if that's important for you, make sure you book accordingly. We booked a room with a very... More

My father and I stayed here when my mother needed a procedure at a nearby hospital, and the service could not have been better. Without our asking, they upgraded our room for the same price in consideration of our situation. Building has old-world charm, as does the service -- little candies on the parlor tables, nice continental breakfast. Yet bathroom... More

What a lovely bed and breakfast/inn. I went there when my daughter was visiting Northwestern. Wonderful hospitality - butter cookies were set out in the afternoon! - a beautiful, comfy sitting room with lovely Oriental rugs that wouldn't be out of place in Downton Abbey, and a wonderful library room. Breakfast was lovely, served in the sitting room, with great... More

The inn is old and wonderful. We love staying at local B and B's and normally only do it as a couple. This place seemed like it would work for us and our son and it did! We had a large room with a king bed and a pull out couch. The breakfast was good (altho mostly store bought) and... More

We stayed at one of the suites in the Margarita Inn. The room was clean and comfortable, the hosts were pleasant, and the lounge and internet were fine. Also, both the location and the older style of the building were fun! We paid about half the price of a comparative stay in other local hotels and were more than happy... More

We have stayed at the Margarita Inn a number of times because our son is a student at Northwestern. The inn is charming, every room is different and we have enjoyed a variety of queen and king rooms and suites. If you are looking for 5 star luxury, don't come here. But if you are looking for a wonderfully welcoming... More

We have stayed here several times, and it is now the hotel of choice for our family. The rooms are not very fancy, but they are comfortable and fairly typical B&B type fare. The people are very nice and very accompodating. The big sell is the restaurant. It is absolutely first class. Excellent food! We think this is the best... More

My husband and I enjoyed 2 nights at this charming european inn tucked in downtown Evanston. Upon arrival my husband and I were warmly greeted by Kathryn who welcomed us by using our first names, a very special and memorable gesture of hospitality, and her personal attention made us feel like we truly had "come home". Our corner mini suite... More

We came to town for a football game, the weekend was a win/win! This hotel was perfect to go to Ryans Field. Loved the parlor for continental breakfast. We had room 316, queen with a private bath and it was fantastic, comfy bed, extremely clean bathroom and ceiling fan. The room did get warm but the fan was helpful. The... More
