“I believe this Evanston hotel provides a refreshing alternative to standard accommodations, especially for families or those needing more space. The suites, essentially small apartments, come equipped with kitchenettes and laundry, setting them apart. I also appreciate the pet-friendly policies and the large, fenced garden, a rare find. Its proximity to Loyola University Chicago and other local attractions adds to its appeal, in my opinion.”
