The beds are only comfortable if you’re sleeping alone, otherwise the lighter person tends to roll to the middle. When I slept by myself the second night, it was fine. The room is mostly clean but dated, and the area around is cute. A good option if you just need a quick in-and-out stay.

Nice place

The furnishings are older but very well maintained. I liked the location. Lots of parking. The room had a kitchenette, which I wasn't even expecting.

Quaint 1920s hotel charming, clean, comfortable

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Carleton of Oak Park. Lovely building with a beautiful lobby!. Our room was spacious and clean; the bed quite comfortable. Easy-to-use shower/tub with two sinks...and fluffy towels. Loved the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture photos in the hallways. Great location too. We took a nice early morning walk around the neighborhood. Love the old buildings, the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired touches, the public art and the murals. Free parking. There are restaurants inside the hotel for breakfast and dinner, as well as several within walking distance.

Nice and safe place to stay

The place is in a neighborhood with 2 restaurants connected to it. It is really close to the train station and heart of the city which is walkable. Lots of restaurants and stores to go to as well. The hotel has a lot of charm and historic significance. The elevator is quite small and can probably fit 2 people with a luggage or two only, but it's doable. The room itself was quaint. The bathroom was small and tight with its 2 sink, closet (which you can only open if you close the bathroom door first), toilet and bathtub. The towels were thin (like a motel would have). The black and white tile floor in the bathroom brightened the place. The air conditioner was a bit loud and the view we had was the alley and the motel side of the hotel. There is a small room with a microwave, small fridge, sink and coffee maker. There is no utensils, paper towels or anything to use, so bring your own. We did enjoy staying here because of the location (nice and safe area), history and comfortable room.

This hotel was so quaint and historic. Parking was tough, but we didn’t get in until after midnight, so go figure. Very clean, friendly staff. I’d definitely stay here again.
