This is a charming European Inn located just to the west of the downtown Evanston shopping area. It is older but that just adds to the charm. Yes, as the other reviewer stated it does take time for the hot water in the showers but that's also part of the charm. If you're looking for an American hotel with all the newness and amenities, this is not the place, but if you want to step back in history this is the place. The rooms are adequate, the tvs are older but there are lovely rooms to lounge in and read, knit, relax, listen to some great music. There was old fashioned candies and delightful cookies available at night and a lovely light European flavor breakfast in the morning along with fresh fruit to take. It is older and some things are worn, but again, that's part of the charm. Some things could use cleaning, like the ceiling fans and the shelves in the lovely oak surrounded library and the stairwells need work but it's old ... again, part of the charm. We will definitely stay here again.
