Water pressure at the faucet was a bit weak. The shower and toilet were not affected, so it wasn't a big deal.

For my visit with my family, this was convenient. The room was comfortable, a good size, and convenient to downtown Evanston. The only gripe was that there was a charge for breakfast, although at $ 10 it was reasonable.
