enjoy your stay - user review
I have stayed at this hotel many times. The rooms in the annex are newer than the main part of the hotel, but all the rooms are quaint and cozy. They do have an adjacent motel area which is not nearly as nice. Not many rooms are alike, making it fun to stay more than once. All rooms have fridge and ...

quiet spot in oak park - user review
quiet, dignified little hotel. I was at a trade show in Chicago, and found the proximity to the comuter train to be quite helpful. I paid 50 60 dollars less per night than if I had stayed in the city, and the commute was easy. The Philanderer's bar is charming, with excellent waitreses and above ave...

Very Good hotel - user review
The Carleton at Oak Park is excellent; good service, unobtrusive and maintaining a quasi residential view. Two blocks form the green line which takes you right to downtown Chicago. Very helpful desk people and with three good eating places right in the hotel confines. Have no cost wireless in the ho...

The hotel is nothing fancy, however, the room was extremely clean and had all the amenities one could need. Didn't try to restaurant, but appeared to be well used by others staying there.

you get what you pay for - user review
the hotel was a good deal. the room was very large, and apartment basically. the area was a bit questionable. a block away from the train and shops. the hotel service was not great. I do think it's a great deal if you don't mind a low level of service, and i would probably stay again, but only to sa...

o.k. for the $ - user review
The hotel was fine if you're not going to spend too much time there. However, it is not convenient for handicapped people. There are steps down to the lobby, and steps up to the elevators. (Yes there is a wheelchair 'lift', but not very convenient.) Our room was on the 4th floor and looked out on an...

Very clean, interesting location, although still a little pricey. - user review
This was a really nice hotel, but located in kind of a strange place, in the middle of a old town suburban neighborhood. But the location is a good one when trying to stay out of the downtown hustle and bustle. Great places to eat nearby also. Even though it was Chica...

Affordable with Easy Access to Chicago Sites - user review
We were very happy with our stay at this hotel. The rates were very reasonable and the L was just a block away. Although the area is in transition and in the process of renovation, we still felt safe and that we were experiencing a bit of what the near Chicago suburbs were like in the early 20th cen...

Wonderful location in Oak Park to explore Frank Lloyd Wright and Ernest Hemmingway venues. Walking distance to Visitor Center.

Comfortable surroundings with a large room. Free parking is a big plus. Not very convenient for business in the city, but the rate is much less and it is only a block from the el. The downside, and to me it is a major downside, was that the wi fi signal was too weak to allow effective access to the ...
