Top South Evanston Hotel Reviews

Hilton Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"It was good..."

The Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel is on the very busy side of the river on Wacker Drive. There's definitely more noise and the parking is not convenient at all unless you valet park. Also beware of booking rooms on the 38th floor because there's ballroom on the 39th floor and when the music is playing you can hear it all in the room."
