kirikara Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Just wanted to report my win. Bought a 3.5 star in Evanston/Skokie/niles area for $64 plus tax for 3/31. for 1 night. I got the Doubletree in Skokie, right across the mall.Almost tried PRICELINE, but did not dare :) we know the Doubletre and like it.Price or a room on Hotels.com was $139 for the same hotel.

AaronJB Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'd suggest asking for a high floor looking either N or S. You're not going to get a classic view, but I've found the high floor rooms at this property at least offer a decent view of the surrounding area. Old Orchard Mall is directly across the street, although Evanston is also a great place to shop/eat not too terribly far East. I'll also note that Glenview to the West has some nice restaurants. Let me know if you have any area questions. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
kirikara Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 So we stayed there twice now, and I don't think I would go back.Tv was unplugged, the room looked untidy (small details) clock was off by 35 some minutes. The bedding made me very itchy (probably because of the detergent they use) that has never happened to me. We were also incredibly hot and it was in the middle of the winter. There was TONS of noise all night (I had an interview the next day!)All in all, it was not good. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sorry to hear that the stays here have been disappointing. I'm very familiar with the area - let me know next time you stay and I'd be happy to suggest alternatives nearby. Thank you for the follow-up review.
