We lugged our bags through a narrow entrance and up stone stairs to a dim lobby. The desk clerk presided over our check in from behind a caged window in a room where he lounged amidst computer terminals. I asked about parking and was handed a permit for parking in a lot around the corner. And that was that. Our... more

Took the Metra from Wisconsin and landed a block from the charming Margarita Inn. Toured the downtown Evanston area, and then took tour of Chicago. The Margarita Inn is a fantastic deal (my room was $79 a nt.), loaded with old-world charm, friendly service, parking available behind building, and close to the Metra Union Pacific North line and close to... more

My sister and I had a delightful long weekend at the Margarita European Inn in Evanston which is convenient to the L train and walking distance to shops and eating places. The place was very clean and neat and reminded me of the old inns where I have stayed in Europe. Breakfast in the mornings was more than adequate and... more

I stayed at the Margarita and thoroughly enjoyed my weekend. It's only a few blocks to all kinds of restaurants and cool little shops, and a 10-min walk to Lake Michigan. We could walk to the station and take public transportation easily into Chicago. The Margarita has a very lovely and cozy breakfast room with a wood-burning fireplace and lots... more

Had an 8 day assignment in Evanston. I booked The Margarita because of its relatively low price and convenient location. The rates were reasonable and the station very close by. But, The Margarita was much more than that. It has real character with antiques everywhere. My room on the top floor was very comfortable, sharing a bathroom was not a... more

Friendly. Clean. Quiet. Centrally located. Reasonable rates. Very accomodating. Within easy walking distance of food and shopping. Four of our family members, 2 adults and 2 teens, were there for our fifth family member's graduation from college. The clientele was mostly older folks. The hotel staff is super nice in that they listen and go out of their way to... more

This is a lovely hotel, right in the heart of Evaston. Customer service was great, and the place has lovely old world charm. Lots of old antique furniture, and a really nice breakfast room. The bedroom was fine, but it only had a mobile air-conditioning unit. This was somewhat noisy, and was just about adequate for late September. However, for... more

While living in Montreal, Quebec, I have accepted a job offer to work in the Chicago area. New to Chicago, I asked former collegues who used to live the area to give suggestions on where to relocate. Evanston was the unanimous choice. Then I used the TripAdvisor review section of hotel accommodation in the area and I find the previous... more

The inn was suggested by the bride's family for a weekend wedding stay. We found the staff to be pleasant, eager to help and informative; no bellhops. The inn is not handicap accessible. The large common room is bright and airy, a pleasant way to meet fellow travelers and enjoy coffee and light breakfast. Our room was small, but clean... more
