Beautiful facility, well-located for our needs. We previously lived in Glenview and were visiting friends there, as well as visiting son and family in Edgewater, so Graduate Evanston was ideally located for both venues. Loved the look and feel of the hotel, including bar, dining lounge and room. Only minor complaint I have is that the AC unit had fan blowing cold air directly onto me when sleeping. Otherwise, enjoyed everything.

AC as noted above. Also, I think the wine and cocktail prices were a little on the high side, even for non-premium stuff.

This was our second visit, and once again, we had a wonderful stay. The hotel is charming, clean, and in a great location. All of the staff were kind and helpful, but I want to especially recognize the staff member working on the Fourth of July. It was a hectic check-in time with many guests arriving, but he remained professional, friendly, and calm throughout. Big kudos to him for doing a fantastic job!

A beautifully designed hotel in Evanston near Northwestern’s campus. The rooms were elegant, comfortable and spotless. It was lovely to sit in the rocking chairs on the veranda at different times during the day, and the surrounding neighborhood is also beautiful. It was an added bonus to walk to Lake Michigan (which is approximately three blocks) and Clark Street Beach. There are also many nice places to get coffee/eat close to the Graduate Evanston. And there’s a Wholefoods one block away.

It’s a beautiful property with a very personable and approachable team of staff members. The long front porch with rocking chairs is a great place to sit. It used to be long stay hotel in the 20s and is located on the very lovely Northwestern campus in the Lakeshore Historic District. The majestic Lake Michigan is two blocks away and there are stately houses on tree filled blocks There’s a wholefoods two boocks away.

I stayed in this hotel 6 years ago and it was charming but needed a bit of TLC. It’s had that TLC and it’s still charming but now it’s more comfortable and stylish. I love the college theme and details. The staff were all welcoming, helpful, polite and clearly enjoy working there! Our lake view room was spacious with a great bathroom.

Nothing except that we couldn’t stay longer!!

The hotel was very nice, good facilities and the staff was all very pleasant and professional (with one exception.)

Your bartender Faye (African American woman) was absolutely terrible. She was rude to customers and other staff and really just awful. She had many chances over several days to change my impression but failed. I would get rid of her immediately.

We always love Graduate hotels and this was our favourite so far. The airline lost our luggage the staff couldnt have been more supportive and helpful. Location was perfect Staff were super kind and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble each and everyday

Music too loud in the bar and although we were the only guests they said they werent allowed to turn it down. Dining room suggested as quieter space but there were no easy chairs in there

The staff was helpful and friendly. Location can’t be beat—five minute walk to the lake one way and downtown Evanston the other way. Room was charming and comfortable. Sitting on the veranda was lovely.

During my visit, the hotel was transitioning to Hilton accounting systems. One result was that restaurant and bar expenses could not be charged to the room. Annoying.

The Graduate is located very close to Northwestern and is perfect for visiting parents, for school drop-off and move out days. The neighborhood is walkable and safe, and there is good train access to Chicago for touristing, so you can manage without a rental car. I'm a happy repeat visitor.

Elevators have been out for several months, and my room was on the 5th floor. On the upside, it means that after a few brisk trips up and down those stairs, I had my cardio for the day. The desk staff will help with bags, and they do warn you about the elevators. Presumably anyone with a heart condition can get a room on the first floor.

they create and maintain a nice 50s atmosphere that is complete and consistent - the location near the lake and downtown is exceptional as is the appeal of the quiet and attractive neighborhood. The easy access from Evanston to Chicago via the outer drive is helpful.
