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

Great location- Excellent Restaurant
The Carleton of Oak Park is just 10 miles from downtown Chicago and the train to get you there is just 1 block away. You are also one block from a host of stores and boutique shopping. The restaurant Poor Phil's has an excellent menu, delicious food and good prices. The room was clean, with a refrigerator, microwave and nice tolietries. I love hotels that provide irons and ironing boards in the closet and free parking!! Definitely would stay there again and have already recommended the restaurant to friends in the area.

Great place at Oak Park
The hotel is located almost mid of the Oak Park. Stayed at the Motel site with free parking, which is very close also. The heating system was a bit noisy. Room was clean and staff were helpful.

Maybe Not
Quirky, Not Comfortable
While I enjoy quaint properties while on vacation, they don't always lend themselves to productivity for business trips. This hotel is very old, but through several remodels (an another coming, according to the poster in the lobby) the facility has lost its charm while retaining its fairly primitive accommodations. For instance, the heat is (supposed to be) provided by an old metal radiator. There was a dial to control it, which seemed to make no difference at all in its output. The hotel was close to where I was working, but I wouldn't stay there again. The restaurant was fine. Few other amenities.

Would not stay here again. The room smelt and I could hear everything from the rooms next door. Also- heater was very loud and right by the bed so every time it would kick on it would wake me up.
