For parents of NU students - as you know, the hotel options in Evanston are rather limited, forcing many parents to stay in Skokie or Northbrook or such, which isn’t anywhere near as convenient. And the Orrington Hotel fills up quickly. Anyway, a member of the Pritzker family (Hyatt family, very prominent in Chicago) has opened up two bed and breakfasts right next to downtown Evanston / the campus. One is called Stone Terrace and one is called Stone Porch.
I live in the Chicagoland area so I’ve never had need to stay at a hotel in Evsnston but thought this might be worth passing on, esp for parents weekend and graduation.
