2.5 / 5.0
This hotel FAR EXCEEDED my expectations. I selected this hotel for a girls shopping weekend and everyone was absolutely amazed at what a wonderful selection I had made. It was sparkly clean, comfortable, beautiful windows and the included breakfast was the biggest treat. Just hit reserve and enjoy a fabulous urban environment getaway with easy parking and complete safety.

The place is comfortable although the rooms are small. Suggestions are: Open the restaurant at 7:30 am instead of 8:00 am. All the pillows were way too thick and they had no other pillows available. The blankets were too light and the gym didn't have enough equipment in it.

The GEM Museum Suites is perfectly located for our visit with our son. Though not in downtown shopping area of Evanston it is not far. Parking, on the side of building, was very convenient but comes with a cost of $20 p/d. The decor is very impressive and recently renovated. It is not a huge hotel, which makes it feel "homey." During our 6 days stay we met only one other group of 3 guest and they were checking out. (We were told the next week would be very busy.) The suite is equipped with all we needed: kitchenette, fridge, dishwasher, etc., all very condensed. The separate bedroom with two queen size beds is separate from the sitting area/kitchenette area, just down a short hall, just inside the entry door. The ONLY negatives are the new flooring is laminate "snaps, crackles and pops" in certain areas because of poor adhesion and the instructions for using the TV streaming (there are 2 TVs) in the suite and the coffee to water ratio for the Mr. Coffee maker are very lacking.

We had an exceptional stay at GEM Museum Suites. It has a fantastic artsy niche style. Everything appears brand new & are stylish. The kitchen comes with pots pans, cups, coffee maker, dishwashing soap, washer/dryer combo, etc. I didn't see any laundry detergent in the room but I did see the hotel room cleaners had single packages on the cart, seems to be offered if needed. My mom who has very high standards raves about the hotel & room.
I gave all 5 stars except the "comfort" category I reduced to 4 stars only because the bedspreads are waffled sheets. It looks like a comforter but it is not. So only 2 sheets are on the bed. For late October even with the heater on we were cold at night. They do have blankets and we got some once asked. For some reason they don't leave them in the room. All other hotels I stay in (which is often around the world) always have a blanket/comforter on the bed plus an extra blanket in the closet. Also the sofa bed sheets were not automatically in the room either. Luckily I checked before we went out and was able to request and make the bed before we had a late night.
The staff is very professional friendly and accommodating. if you have a need they will make sure it gets taken care of. If GEM makes the beds with blankets and puts extras, as well as, sofa bed sheets in the closet it is a perfect stay!
Their breakfast is outstanding too! The ambience is fantastic, the servers are kind & helpful. The breakfast menu has many options.

Brand new place just opened in May. The staff here is so wonderful and I am sure that in time the few hiccups I encountered will be eliminated, especially the parking. Maybe it was just signage.

Had a one bedroom suite. The hotel is in an excellent location and is pet friendly. Pet rates were steep -- $75 per night. I found this rate outrageous given that they only clean every other day. Was recently opened and the staff was not really sure of what they were doing. Breakfast was across the street and was understaffed with a choice of 3 breakfasts and insufficient seating for peak times. Bathroom in room was odd -- toilet was high off ground and shower was super slippery with no spot for personal items except for the shower floor. No bar in shower. Kitchen in room was well stocked with cooking implements. Can't use stairways in hotel because they only for emergency use so had to take the elevator each trip.

Liked the overall ambience. Art is exceptional. Combo washer/dryer in room is nice touch.. Room furniture seems cheap and is very bland. Didn’t like musty smell in hallways and particularly on elevators. . Bathroom door hit edge of bed when opened.

We arrived late at night on opening weekend for a lucid festival we were attending, Becca was there to greet us and took very GREAT care of us. She let us know about all the places around that were open late and showed us the breakfast menu so we could pre plan for the next morning. She was very accommodating and made sure to ask us how we were doing or if we needed anything every time she saw us! The hotel room itself was amazing. It included pans so that we were able to cook food and save money on eating out, plus a washer/dryer which made it feel like a home.The view we had was very beautiful as well. Everything was a 100/10 and i will definitely only be staying here when im visiting Illinois!

Someone in the elevator said that this just newly opened, and his party had to change rooms a few times due to things not working. There are no usable stairs except in the event of an emergency, and only access to the top and bottom floors. The elevator was slow, so I opted for the stairs and set off an alarm. It should be more clearly marked with do not use unless there is an emergency. I don’t know what floors 2-5 would do if there was an emergency since I didn’t see access from the stairwell. The front desk was confused as to how to access a third party reservation, and the girl couldn’t program two keys for the room. Also, we were told breakfast was available across the street at the museum, but when we walked across the street, the doors were open but we saw nothing. We ended up going to a very good local coffee shop. Also, our bed was shoved against a wall, so getting out at night to go to the bathroom was very difficult. Evanston is lovely, so hopefully they’ll get the kinks out. We had a wedding to attend across the street.
