We just got married and hosted our reception at the Orrington Hotel. We didn't use a wedding planner. The hotel staff including Glen and Tonya were great....and helped us think of things we had forgotten, they followed up to confirm rooms and did many check-ins during the months leading up to the day via phone and e-mail. Overall, the food, service, rooms, and staff were top notch and the only thing we had to worry about was having fun. We also found the location very convenient for out of towners and it was great that the hotel was just two blocks from the ceremony!
Pros: Great location, close to transportation, a great staff, and great food

We were just staying here for a quick meeting with Northwestern. It is actually a surprisingly nice hotel in Evanston. More than I expected. If I could give it 3 1/2 stars I would, it is somewhere between good and great.
In any case, the room are OK, pretty big, but they have a really nice design. There is a USB keyboard and mouse, so you just plug your laptop in and you have a nice keyboard. That's a great touch.
Terrific bed as well.
Main drawback is that at 9PM, everything closes, you can only get bar food and there is take out from the Denny's, so don't get in on a late flight from Seattle (hint!).
Very inexpensive though for Chicago. Kind of cool neighborhood for those of who remember Risky Business!

This place is pretty famous in Evanston. Built in the 1920's this beautiful hotel is family run and is located only a couple of blocks away from the lake and is also near Northwestern University. You have the option of renting a studio or a one or two bedroom for a week or even a week or month or more. This elegant stay will cost a little more than some of the chains but is definitely worth it.

I have used this cab company for many years, and I have to say, I have had plenty of early trips to the airport in my time. I have never had a bad trip with Norshore, which is not what I would say my experience has been with Chicago-based cabs. They always meet my early morning needs, and you can call them when you arrive at O'Hare or Midway, and they will take you safely home to Evanston (or other northern areas) for a flat fee, a huge savings. Kudos to their great service. I hope everyone has the same great cab experience from them that I've had.

Basic, clean accommodations within walking distance of downtown Evanston and Northwestern University. Located 4 blocks from Lake Michigan and about 20 minutes to downtown Chicago (you can walk to the purple line CTA line or the Metra station for trains to the city). Several restaurants across the street and within a short walk. Small, rather univiting pool on a concrete deck. The water was freezing cold on my visit and no atmosphere/landscaping to speak of, just a couple of chairs nearby. Certainly no luxury here, but fine for the budget conscious as hotels in Evanston tend to be very pricey.
PROS: Clean, walk to restaurants/bars/shops
CONS: No extra ammenities/luxuries here

The Hilton in Evanston is a nice enough place. Super convenient to Evanston shops and restaurants and to Northwestern. Our package included breakfast and drinks in the bar the night before, all pretty reasonably priced. The rooms were fine, nothing special, but clean.
