Ben Schumin Photography Portfolio

Room 625 at the Hilton Garden Inn on Maple Avenue in Evanston, Illinois. This is the hotel's presidential suite, and features a living room space, a large dining/conference table that seats eight, a kitchenette, and a large bedroom with a king-sized bed. Additionally, it adjoins with the standard room next to it, allowing the presidential suite to expand to two bedrooms if desired.

I received the presidential suite as part of a free upgrade by the hotel. I had originally booked a junior suite for our five-night stay, and this was certainly a welcome upgrade. We got it because we were staying for five nights, which was longer than most of the people staying around that same time, as the hotel was largely occupied by families attending a children’s hockey event somewhere nearby that weekend. The hockey people would leave on Sunday, while we would be there until Wednesday morning. Therefore, upgrading us for our longer stay meant that they could sell another junior suite for other stays. Works for me.
