Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This hotel was truly a gem! It's located in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of shopping and restaurants to try. Me and my husband stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. There is plenty of free parking for the hotel guest which is very rare for Chicago and it's surrounding areas. It is also in close proximity to downtown Chicago. The room was very spacious and clean and we loved the old charm of the decor. The only thing that was not the best was that the king size bed was a little too hard for our liking. But we were able to fix that by getting an extra comforter to make it softer. We loved the jazz music that was playing in the lobby, so soothing. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Chicago.

We liked the location, the room and helpful staff. The drawback was that the hotel has a very dated sunken lobby. This made handling luggage too unwieldy without assistance. This includes entering the hotel and room, and exiting at the end of our stay. We and our friends found that to be too much hassle to stay there again.

This is a historic property and the age does show, however it was exactly what I expected. The location is perfect! There are several different dining and shopping areas within walking distance. Parking was a plus as this is a highly popular area and parking can be a problem. I would recommend and will likely to return myself.

Easy access to the L Green line gives you access to all of Chicago. But there is enough in Oak Park alone to make it a destination. The Carleton is my choice in the greater Chicago area.
