Evanston was recommended to me as an alternative place to stay as opposed to downtown Chicago. Only 20 mins from the Ogilvie Transit centre in Chicago and also about 45 mins from downtown by Purple/ Red lines. Evanston itself is lovely (located on the lakeshore with a wide range of restaurants, cafes and lovely little shops. It has a nice atmosphere and very safe.

Great experience from start to finish. The shuttle from the airport to the hotel was fantastic - I used this multiple times during my stay to both get to the airport to use the L train to get into the city and to then get back to the hotel afterwards. The shuttle runs every 30 mins and the drivers are really friendly and helpful. In particular Bob who was quite a character and a joy to chat with.
