Graduate by Hilton Evanston

I was warmly greeted by staff. The room was clean and ample. The bathroom vanity was small and a sturdy shelf directly over the sink would have been helpful. Dinner was good.

very convenient location for the northwestern campus, lovely porch room cramped full of unnecessary paraphernalia; tiny fitness room

Superb

Exceptional

We were so happy during our stay at The Graduate! It was charming, clean, unique, and one a quiet street. We enjoyed the continental breakfast add-on that we chose, and it was a wonderful meal for the price! The bar lounge made a great

Wonderful boutique hotel. Great design, comfort, service and location for Evanston/Northwestern. Perfect for college visits and parent stays! Not particularly disabled accessible. Otherwise wonderful.

My ONLY complaint is it’s not the most quiet since the building is old and the tiny elevator’s sound carries. I am a light sleeper and both times I’ve stayed here I struggled a bit with the clanking of the elevator and the loud shutting of doors from nearby rooms. That being said, I will always keep this place on my list of repeat hotels. It’s so clean and I love the classic collegiate decor. The staff are friendly and helpful. Location is fantastic if you want something a little slower paced than the heart of Chicago.

Lovely hotel, helpful staff, comfortable bed and room. We always enjoy our stay at the Graduate Evanston!

My wife and I stayed at this property while visiting our son who was graduating from Northwestern University. The location to the university is fantastic. We also enjoyed how close the hotel is to the lake and the cycling/walking trail next to it. The hotel is also within easy walking distance to many great restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the rocking chairs in front of the hotel which is on a quiet street. The hotel provides a few 3-speed bicycles that are free to borrow but they are in disrepair (the one I borrowed had two broken spokes on the rear wheel). I suspect we were provided with a less than optimal room because we booked through Expedia (our room was across the hall from the service elevator and our view out of the window was the fire escape and a roof top. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Such a great place to stay. I’ve stayed there several times.

Very clean

Charming, new boutique brand we were experiencing for the first time. Two enthusiastic thumbs up. We’ll def seek Graduate properties for future travels.

Great staff. TV was not as easy to use.

An oasis in the middle of my travels. The property was beautiful and full of charm. Food in the restaurant was excellent for both dinner and breakfast. Thank you!

Unique and classic property. One of the best stays we have enjoyed. Will return again.

It was a fun and convenient stay. We will stay there again when in the area.

Absolutely loved my stay at the Graduate Evanston! The hotel is incredibly charming, with a wonderful old-school collegiate feel and so much more character than a typical hotel. My top-floor lake-view room was beautiful, spacious, spotless, and completely unique. The location is fantastic and an excellent value. What really stood out, though, was the staff—everyone I encountered, from check-in to the valets to housekeeping, was genuinely warm and helpful. I only wish I could have stayed longer! If I’m ever back in Evanston, I will absolutely stay here again—and I’ll be asking for a top-floor lake-view room. Five stars!

Good

The location is wonderful!
