This Hotel is almost on the Northwestern campus. (1 block) Lots of places to eat and pretty good street atmosphere due to the college kids. Rooms were very nice but small for Hilton standards.

Beds were very comfy! Microwave and fridge in room. 24 hour snack area by front desk.Breakfast is cook to order and buffet with Omelets and various other breakfast foods, Cook staff was very eager to make sure you are happy!

Free WIFI with strong signal in rooms. Parking is street or parking garage next door with in and out privileges. Hotel stamps the parking ticket at front desk so you don't pay garage. Once your tickets is stamped you simply feed it into the exit machine to get out whenever you want!! That was a nice feature! Parking cost is $13.00 a day. Plenty of spaces! I had no complaints and would stay there again.

I stayed here for 6 nights in the end of December. To start off with, not sure how the previous review says free parking. I was charged $13/day to use the parking garage right next to the hotel. What was confusing is parking was free in the garage on the weekend I was there, but still was charged for parking. The person at the front tried to explain why it made sense but I still don't get it. I stayed in Hilton a couple blocks away earlier in the month so only have that to compare it with in Evanston. The Garden Inn had bigger bathrooms where I think the overall feel of the Hilton on Orrington was much nicer. Although, they are doing renovations at Garden Inn, but unfortunately the room I was in had not been renovated it yet, they were still on top two floors. I thought the walls were pretty thin and constantly heard loud noises throughout the night in hallways and adjacent rooms.

I give it 3 stars because most everyone at front desk was pleasant, the hot tub was nice to use on a few nights, and the bathrooms were bigger than the tiny ones at the other Hilton in Evanston. The cookies at night were a nice touch as well.

Overall, I would probably give the Hilton another shot to see if they had any sound issues that I didn't experience the first time around. I only stayed there one night in comparison to 6 nights at Garden Inn so I had more time there to see more of the flaws.

Overall, an ok stay, but too many issues to give 4 stars.

I stayed at this hotel for the Dec, 2012 Northwestern Univ graduation. The hotel staff was friendly, the rooms are very nice. Parking is free on-site. The hotel is located across the street from a very high end mall, withing walking distance of Ihop, Panera Bread and many high end restaurants. I would recommend this hotel and will stay again. They also have an indoor pool.

This hotel is located by the Northwestern University. I wasn't there for that so I do not know much about how close it is to everything. What I can say id that there are a lot of great restaurants near by and parking next door is reasonable. The L train is a few short blocks away. Driving to downtown took me 20 minutes before rush hour. Clean and comfortable rooms as you would expect from Hilton.
