I regularly stay at the Carlton of Oak Park when I travel to the Chicago area. The hotel has a vintage charm that some might find outdated. It was a bit chilly in the room during the winter. Regardless, it is a beautiful place and the location is conveniently located with access to great amenities.

It was cold in Chicago and the furnaces definitely could not keep up with warming the room it was cold the whole time. The sink was at the level of my thigh...it was ridiculously low. The hotel was short-staffed, there was no coffee anywhere in the morning offered... There was hair on the bathroom floor that was not mine.

Cozy and comfortable
We took an unexpected trip. The accommodations were excellent, the lobby was decked for Christmas, and Poor Phil's restaurant was really good. The bed was comfortable with the perfect temperature blanket. We slept well under trying times.

Great place to stay in Oak Park when seeing family. Stairs are a bit hard to navigate with luggage, but we managed. Room is quaint, and beds small, but we managed, and great coffee/lunch spots are walk-able nearby

A classic hotel in need of upgrades. In lieu of modern amenities, cleanliness is paramount. The bathroom was far from 3 star specifications, certainly not a 5 star experience worthy of the history and regency that this hotel embodies. Though disappointing, I will book again in the near future to see if the experience is normal or an exceptional anomaly.

This is the second time I stayed here, and I made reservations in May. It has everything. Some may balk at the 30 min CTA train ride into Downtown, but it is not a consideration to me. Besides, Oak Park is a charming, beautiful village. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Cgicago.

It’s an old property that needs updates to heating and air conditioning systems. The heat in our room was not adequate for the 25 degree temps.
