bathroom was small. front desk wasn't helpful. elevator didn't work right. i wouldn't stay here again.

I've read some of the reviews on here and want to know if they were written by the owners to make it sound good! Nothing about this hotel was fabulous. My bedroom at home looks better! The lobby was dead and had no life. The lounge was not opened. I see that someone wrote a review in 2005 and the elevator was broke...it's still broke!! ...

Yes, the Orrington has a good location and a fine restaurant, but the rooms were not pleasant. The first one I was in had a broken air conditioner. It took a while but I was finally moved to another room. It was next to the elevator, had a working but ancient, horribly loud air conditioner, and the small window looked out on a wretched view of rooftop/building utilities.
I found it dark and a little depressing and not worth the price.

Newly remodeled place - we loved it! Service was awesome, very friendly and helpful staff. Definitely the best place to stay in the north Chicago area!

Very clean, friendly service, small but elegant rooms, good restaurants, good room service. close to town and university. Highly recommended. Valet service was also exellent. restaurant is gourmet and with a very friendly service.

You hear the word Omni and you would think it has a similar reputation to the Omni in downtown Chicago. Don't be fooled, this is a 21/2 star hotel at best. The building desperately needs a rennovation, and although the lobby area is fine, you will be sleeping in the rooms not the lobby. We did have a nice view and enjoyed the city of Evanston itself for it's intimate resturants and street life.

i must say this is a great place, i love it, the decor is beyond beautiful, The Staff is pleasant and kind and very accomadating. Especially the Front Desk Staff.The rooms are lovely.Will stay again.
