Rooms

Spacious rooms at Best Western University Plaza overlooking downtown Evanston were styled to combine the comforts of home and office. Duvets create coziness and coordinate with the patterned carpet, valance and framed artwork. In all rooms, guests enjoy satellite TV, desk and shower/tub combo in the bathroom. Wi-Fi and hard-wired Internet access are complimentary.

Features
