Top South Evanston Hotel Reviews

Eurostars Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, spotless property, and great restaurants in the area."

Sports Illustrated Resorts Chicago

8/10 Good

"Very convenient to an event at the Chicago Theater! Most comfortable bed / pillow combination and double paned windows helped for a great night sleep! Interesting layout with the bathroom in the middle of the space, but the shower felt great and the separate stall for the toilet is a nice feature. The lights were tricky to figure out and ended up getting woken up to a bright light after my husband couldn’t figure out how to turn them off. LOL Overall, great stay."

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent
