Absolutely the choice versus the various hotels in town

We had a fantastic stay. The room was beautiful as well as comfortable and clean. Breakfast was great as well. Parking wasn't a problem, check-in was a snap, and overall we had a really nice visit. Its a convenient stay if you're in town for sports at Northwestern, and the campus is close enough for a short walk.

The New Orleans room contains a queen size mahogany and rosewood full tester bed along with a walnut dresser  (Circa 1860). Originally part of a wedding dowry, both pieces belonged to the same family until 1994 when they were acquired by the Judge Porter House.  Silk brocade drapes and tassel pillows add to the romance of this room which has a private spacious bath and is located adjacent to the second floor parlor.  Relax in the rocking chairs on the second story gallery.

The upstairs parlor is furnished with your comfort in mind, the Queen Anne camel back sofas are perfect for conversation and is popular with families or friends traveling together.   This upstairs parlor is accessible to the New Orleans and Princes guest bedrooms and is stocked with a great selection of books and games.  All guests can access the  second story wrap around gallery from this room.
