I stayed in one of the motel rooms. The door to the bathroom was broken and the bed was very uncomfortable. The location of the hotel is great and it’s easy to park.
This is honestly a gem of a place to stay at. Super cozy, and near the downtown area that has a lot to explore. Staff was also so friendly and welcoming.
A classic hotel that harkens back to an earlier era. Similar to hotels of this era in the Loop, but a much better value. If Oak Park fits your travel plans, the Carleton is a great place to stay.
This was such a lovely area of Chicago and a beautiful hotel to stay in! Our room was a shockingly large suite which was very comfortable. The AC worked super well. I will totally come back here if I’m ever back in Chicago!
Good location for us. Old place with usual old age look and feel. Friendly local bar attached to the hotel. Newer attached motel rooms might be more suitable for some people. Will stay here again if in the area.
Staff was very sweet and parking was a breeze. Two very available lots a reasonable distance from the building and plenty of food options walking distance including downstairs.
The staff was by far like no other hotel staff. Very friendly and went up and beyond to accommodate us during our stay. Great service and friendly neighborhood. Absolutely recommend
Such a cute hotel, and rooms are spacious! Staff was excellent and it has a couple restaurants on the first floor. Easy to park too. Would definitely stay here again.
Clean, helpful staff and excellent location!! Loved being able to walk around Oak Park. Also, it was nice to have two restaurant options in the hotel even though neither was open for breakfast! Our son and family live 5 minutes away so it was very convenient. We will definitely stay there again!!
