BEACH LANE BED AND BREAKFAST

Room 205.

This is an old retirement house what has now been rebuilt to hotel. It's quite odd, as they have just removed the signboard saying "retirement home" to "hotel".
This means, it feels more like an appartment than a hotel room. The person who recommended me the hotel promoted for the more expensive river-view room rather than the one looking toward the forest. Unfortunately I got the one right on the terrace so I could hardly see any river at all (but I did not complain since I paid for a forest view room fee).
For some reason, I could not relax in this room, maybe as this lack the comfy hotel atmosphere of the room. It felt a bit impersonal and cold.

The area is nice and I went for long walks in the morning. The breakfast is pretty decent too.
I recall there were no kettle in the room meaning no tea.
Not very good location if you want to visit Hamburg city in the evening = you are dependent on taxi.

This large building in downtown Evanston, Illinois is the North Shore Retirement Hotel, a "thriving retirement community" and assisted-living facility for senior citizens.
