Hilton Garden Inn Chicago North Shore/Evanston

Exceptional

Excellent location!

The hotel staff was great with suggestions where to eat and things to see while staying there.

Staff was helpful and room was comfortable.

Pool and hottub will never be used too small of an area. You have to pay for their Buffett breakfast. Beds are NOT comfortable, after walking all day in Chicago you at least want a good bed but now my back hurts as well.

I didn't

Good location There was a mixup in cleaning our room and it never happened and there was also a mixup with our parking pass.

staff was helpful. Everyone was friendly. The property is well maintained. There was a music festival as well as a big storm going on while we were there. I think that is why our bathroom sink would not drain. Our Uber driver explained that there are 5-10 concert goers packing in one room and it messes with the draining in the hotels/businesses.

Anyway, now the hotel itself, which is very outdated. It was clean, but pretty outdated. The actual worst thing was the lighting in the room. It was dark and the lightbulbs that they had were like those cold white lightbulbs so when you turned it on, it was like you were in a hospital room. It just made the whole atmosphere worse.

There were 4 people working at the check-in, but they were more interested in talking with each other than assisting guests. At checkout, there was only 1 person working. I asked for a receipt and was told it would be emailed to me, I have not received it 48 hours later.

Great staff everyone was helpful

The front desk staff was extremely nice and customer focused - but it ended there. The hotel is not well maintained, the shower in our room had a noticeable dip in the floor making it a dangerous event to shower, the sink faucet was loose so water continued to seep across the countertop, and it had the distinct smell of a nursing home. Beyond that the housekeepers clogged the halls with carts and huge bags of garbage and would have loud conversations, on speaker, outside your room door in the early morning. The breakfast was a ridiculously bad experience and had we not just wanted to leave, we would’ve insisted it be comped. This hotel had great reviews and is a Hilton so we decided to pay the $500 PER NIGHT price tag expecting it would deliver the service and comfort to justify that cost. Needless to say we will not be returning.

I won’t stay there again

Great staff

The room was a little musty smelling. We needed to warm the space a little and when we turned on the system the odor of burning-something was horrible.

Very clean and at a great location in Evanston. I enjoyed staying here and will do so again in the furture!

Hotel was booked

Room was somewhat musty. Did not eat breakfast there. There was a farmers market outside which was delightful. Parking was very easy and convenient.

Then when we got it showed it would be $16.95 for

This Evanston location was especially enjoyable. The Evanston Farmers Market was right behind the hotel, and there were plenty of great restaurants within easy walking distance. The neighborhood felt safe, lively, and pleasant to explore. Overall, this was another great stay at Hilton Garden Inn. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-located hotel at a reasonable price, this is an excellent choice.
