The hotel is located close to the NWU campus and within close walking distance of several bars, restaurants, shops and other downtown Evanston establishments. The check-in was efficient and when I pointed out some functional deficiencies in the room, the maintanence engineer was in my room within minutes. They moved me to a new room and offered to help with... More

My experience was very good, the staff was very helpful. The lobby guy offered to carry my luggage. However it was already a little after check in time and the front desk person was struggling to get me a room. I waited about 30 minutes, she was very nice though. The room was VERY clean, a big requirement for me.... More

Our room smelled funny like old dust/musty, old wallpaper peeling, corners of room at ceilings had brownish stains. Bathroom had worn out tile. Not sure they could even get it all clean if they tried.... More

Recently went with our teenager to visit Northwestern University. Stayed at the Best Western University Plaza becasue it offered the best rates. The hotel is situated in downtown Evanston and easily accesible to the University and all the downtown restaurants. The hotel is a bit old and a little rough around the edges but the rooms and facilities were clean... More

There's nothing really noteworthy about this. It's a pretty standard Best Western. It's a little bit old; the hallways really could use a bit of fresh paint or wallpaper. The Rooms are spacious and clean, but honestly too white. Overwhelmingly white for my taste. The walls are off white, the bedding is white. It had a "cold" feeling to it,... More
