Staff are all very friendly, (and entertaining I might add), and helpful. We did choose the place based on affordability. As such, being a bit older, but decently maintained place, it doesn't have quite so many things people would take for granted in newer motels. Yes, an ironing board and hair dryer, and a simple coffee maker. But very limited electronic plugs, no alarm clock, simple grounds. Things that are not needed for a weary traveler overnighter. They do have a very nice looking restaurant and bar, but being the off-(tourist) season here in mid February, it wasn't open. Pleasant place, easy access to town. So yes, we'd go back again, and recommend the Affordable Inn in Evanston.
