It looks like many other Best Westerns I've been in: poorly tended public areas, garish colors in the rooms, blankets made of that fuzzy artificial stuff. The bed is far from plush. The wireless Internet doesn't connect and the cable internet has glitches that made it impossible for me to send, though I could receive. My door could be closed only by slamming hard. The breakfast is disgraceful: $6 plus for watery coffee, high-fat yoghurt, supermarket doughnuts and waffles, and Wonder Bread toast.
One positive: the bathroom, and for that matter the room, were immaculately clean.
There aren't a lot of options in Evanston, but this is at the bottom of the pack. If you do stay here, by all means skip the breakfast.
