From the moment we checked into the Write Inn, I realized that we had made a mistake! Although the location is pleasant, the hallways are gloomy and dirty. Paint is chipped everywhere. The room was dark and depressing. We had traveled to Oak Park for one night to visit a friend who is very ill. We were willing to walk... more

The room had bedbugs and they still want to charge me for the room! more

After staying 3 nights we had a wonderful time and will definitely book this place again. The room is small and cozy with a certain amount of antique charm. Only problems we had were with a door lock that took a certain amount of finesse to get into, and the front office personnel were distracted and not very informative of... more

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and were very disappointed. The staff were very friendly and helpful but the hotel is dirty, very small rooms, no coffee maker in the room. We asked if we could use the hotel safe so they offered us another room with an in-room safe but it was no better than the... more

This small hotel is a vintage property. The romance of the place lies in its location, Oak Park Illinois, more than the property itself. I found the hotel clean, exceptionally so, with a standard room being small by modern standards, but well equiped and a good value. There are larger rooms available. It is well located with convenient transportation links.... more

When we walked into our room, my boyfriend was so upset he wanted to cancel our reservation and take our chances finding something else. The front desk greeted us not by saying hello, but by saying "Yes?". That should... more

My boyfriend and I just returned from our weekend at the Write Inn. We were hoping for a hotel downtown Chicago but everything was booked or extremely expensive. We found the best prices on expedia.com We took the Amtrak train there from our hometown so didn't have to worry about parking a car (since I read on here it was... more

The hotel had an old time feel to it but the rooms were comfortable, quiet, well furnished and very clean. I clean for a living so I have a fine eye for an unkempt room. The location of the hotel is excellent for those using public transportation. Only two and a half blocks from the Oak Pk. Ave Green line... more

I LOVED the location and the website pictures make you want to stay here. The employees we came in contact with were very nice. But, once you get past the beautiful lobby area, this place falls flat. Every floor seemed to smell and our room was even worse! The walls were stained yellow and the vent looked like it hadn't... more
