Super 8 by Wyndham Chicago IL

8/10 Good

"NA"

Hilton Garden Inn Chicago North Shore/Evanston

8/10 Good

"Good experience"

Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago-North Shore/Skokie

8/10 Good

"The bathroom has no exhaust fan. Interestingly enough the Cook county code requires all residential and commercial bathrooms to have exhaust fans. Also, the staff falsely charged my incidentals for some water they were selling in the lobby and I pointed that out so they had to remove the charge."

Hilton Orrington / Evanston

8/10 Good

"Good but not great ! Considering it bears the Hilton badge the general condition could have been better. On the floor that I stayed - the paint on literally every room door had several bad scratches / blotches and looked really B grade …. Whilst the room was in decent shape - the first sight of a really bad looking damaged / scratched door was quite sad . Other than that excellent location and a good lobby store for daily stuff . Also I checked out hours ago but have as yet not received the invoice by email as promised …."
