Top Northwestern University Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Chicago North-Loyola Station

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in, valet servi"

Holiday Inn & Suites Chicago North Shore (Skokie) by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Does not look appealing from outside but inside was nice, room was spacious, breakfast was decent-above average, indoor pool was nice, temperature was perfect. Feel that they are short staffed. Very hard to get anyone on phone. Took over 20 mins to get towels. Staff at bar louie for dinner was rude. Staff needs to be reminded that they have a customer service job-treat others how you would expect to be treated!!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Chicago IL

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this Super 8 over the past week were very helpful and Harry at the front desk was great and helped us with our parking needs. This was greatly appreciated! Great place to stay! Highly recommend! Harry is the best too and was understanding of our larger utility vehicle parking needs. Thx!!"

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago North Shore/Evanston

6/10 Okay

"1) Kitchen staff and server were loudly arguing 2) Was told that they ran out of sausage links when it was mentioned that the serving tray was empty Note: the lady serving on the morning of May 31st was more helpful and friendly 3) Front desk could be more helpful and professional 4) Issue with water leaks in the room. Suggesting that a complete inspection of each room to avoid surprises such as flooding on the floor."
