Guest reviews for Graduate by Hilton Evanston

5 out of 5
This was not your ordinary hotel room. It is a spacious suite with a sitting area, dining alcove with table & chairs, a complete kitchen with everything in it, and even offers off-street parking- plus a very nice breakfast. With good train connections, easy to get into the Loop. Plus easy shopping one block away - and Lake Michigan only a few blocks walk east. Definitely the nicest place to stay near Chicago, but it costs $11. each round-trip on the train
