We stayed here for a wedding. The location was great, walking distance to many restaurants and shops. We stayed in a King Studio room, which I recommend over the regular King rooms. The studio room has a much larger bathroom with an actual countertop, not just a shelf above the toilet. Also, it is nice to have a couch (with... More

We stayed here for an out-of-town family wedding, reserved a suite and double room for various family members and held the reservation with one of my credit cards. Our plan was to split up the bill for the rooms at check-out between 3 of us. While the rooms themselves were fine for the 2 nights we stayed, our front desk... More

Thank you for your response! First, I do remember that issue with the billing that you mentioned, and I apologize for the inconvenience that you experienced due to our lack of preparation. Despite the possiblity that the issue stemmed with the central reservations department, our front desk should've listened to your concerns and worked with you to correct the problem.... More

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the past 17 years. It has changed ownership and name but always remains good. Over my most recent stays, the front desk service has been notably good. I can't recall any issues over the years. Some of the rooms are oddly shaped and have very small bathrooms, but not a big... More

My wife, son, and I stayed at the Orrington Dec. 28-30th. We found it to be a very nice, fairly elegant hotel. It has been updated in a tasteful manner, despite being an old hotel. Other reviewers' comments about the small bathroom size are true, but we didn't find it to be that problematic. The bed was very comfortable. One... More

Great location and a nice, clean hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful and the rooms are not huge but comfortable. The bathrooms are small and do not have great lighting but otherwise the rooms are nice. The word here is location, location, location as there are a ton of dining spots and most everything else you would want in... More

I stayed here for one night on business in late November 2011. The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to many restaurants and shops as well as Northwestern's campus. The front desk staff and general manager were extremely friendly and helpful with some problems I had (unrelated to the hotel - they went above and beyond to... More

Nice, helpful, genuinely friendly staff from checking through checkout. The friendly informality even extended to the hotel-info booklet in my room, which some might see as hokey but I thought was pretty darn funny. Unfortunately, other aspects of my stay force me to push down my rating quite a bit: 1) The (loud) fan in the room whirred continuously, even... More

This hotel is mere steps from Northwestern University, making it a terrific choice for visits to campus. It's an old building, but it's been well preserved - new furniture, flat-screen TV, fresh paint in fun colors (our room was butter yellow with a crimson accent wall). The beds were very comfortable, and the room was perfectly clean. While we couldn't... More

This is not what you might expect from a big, glitzy downtown hotel. I found it, happily, a cozy place to stay for a meeting on the Northwestern campus, a few blocks away. The room I had was OK - not huge, with a bathroom a bit small - but clean and just right for a single traveller like me.... More
