Residential serenity in cultural neighborhood near downtown Chicago
Fans of Frank Lloyd Wright and Ernest Hemingway always return to the Carleton of Oak Park hotel, where tidy hotel rooms lie within walking distance to attractions surrounding the famous former residents. In a quiet, yet cultural, neighborhood 10 miles outside Chicago, this boutique retreat was built in 1928 as a residential hotel and retains its historic charm. Antique and reproduction furnishings fill the Carleton of Oak Park hotel, including romantic guest rooms and common areas warmed by chandeliers and fireplaces.Carleton of Oak Park Rooms

Totally convenient
Was going to Lollapalooza - great location for catching the El to downtown Chicago, huge room, great restaurant - and far less expensive than staying downtown. Also fun to walk around Oak Park - right near downtown/historic area

carleton oak park review
The location is great, rooms are pretty small but nice. A few ants in the bathroom and the fan is pretty loud. Other than that, decent quality.

A quiet, gracious hotel
Room was large and clean. Had a small kitchen, although not luxurious, it was very comfortable for a long stay (two weeks).

Handy for Dominican U parents
We very much like the location for us as visitors to the area and our sons school. The hotel rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the motor lodge rooms are kind of cool in a retro sort of way. The motor lodge is usually a good value and the new flat-screen tvs are great. We visit frequently as baseball parents. Which brings up the one negative that we experience - checking in in our baseball park jeans appears to not sit well with the stiffs (guys) that work the front desk. The woman or the guy who works Sunday morning (checkout) are very pleasant and helpful. Overall, a good location for visiting the Oak Park area.

A Gem in Oak Park
I was nervous about staying in the "motel" part of the hotel and in a west suburb of Chicago, but I was pleasantly relieved to find our room very updated, clean and in a great neighborhood. We ended up staying in Oak Park one full day because there was so much within walking distance of the hotel. The staff were friendly. Our toilet overflowed and someone was there almost immediately to fix it. The train to downtown was 1-2 blocks away-very handy.

Great spots to try: Bleeding Hearts Bakery (unique cupcakes), Venezuelan restaurant, also the bagel shop was very good and you can watch them make the bagels.
