<p>Four places in downtown Evanston: </p>
<p>1) Hotel Orrington – very nice, upscale; basically next to campus
2) Hilton Garden Inn – nice; pretty close to campus
3) The Homestead – charming, good service and GREAT restaurant (Trio), nice given its age, but old; pretty close to campus
4) Holiday Inn – standard fare, walkable to campus but further than the others</p>
<p>There are a bunch of places near Old Orchard mall in Skokie right off of I-94 (Edens Expressway), about 10-15 mins. drive from Northwestern</p>
