CARLETON Hotel of Oak Park - The king suite on the website looked old and charming but ours (rm 407) looked old and tired. The lighting was dim, there were stains on the lampshades, chair and worn carpet, and the mismatched furniture with missing knobs and worn edges made it look like the room was furnished from a garage sale.... more

First and foremost, I must warn people with physical disabilities about this hotel. This hotel is very old and not well equipped for persons with disabilities. We were put on the 2nd floor and had to go up 2 different 'make shift' elevators for people in a wheelchair. The wheelchair at one point got stuck and it was very difficult... more

These comments refer to the hotel, not the motel section. The staff was friendly and accommodated my 10am early check-in needs. The computer located at the front desk area for guest use is useful for printing boarding passes, however due to this non-private location, I was not comfortable using it for more than that. Food was reasonably priced and tasty.... more

This was the best hotel we stayed in on our summer holiday to the U.S., from the excellent food to the friendly, efficient staff and comfortable beds. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we arrived from San Francisco two days early but that was no problem even though it was a very busy weekend at the hotel. All the meals... more

If you like charm, good service, hospitality, lovely surroundings, two excellent bars and two fine restaurants, outdoor dining and "swilling" (summer only), and nicely appointed rooms...this is THE place for you in the western suburb of Oak Park. Don't waste your time on some ho-hum Hampton Inn or other chain of the day. Its also convenient to the Elevated (50... more

My wife and I wanted to visit Chicago and Oak Park for a few days. We had seen a home renovation program on a house in Oak Park and liked the look of the tree lined streets with victorian houses and Frank Lloyd Wright houses intermixed. We picked the Carleton based on reviews here. Our stay at the Carleton was... more

I stayed in the main hotel--King Deluxe. Excellent room, quiet, clean. GREAT location, safe, parking convenient. Front desk very helpful despite others comments. Not the four seasons, but well above average. more

I was pleasantly surprised! Cute little boutique hotel in the heart of Oak Park - a destination in itself if you are into Frank Lloyd Wright and quaint old homes. My one complaint - and it seems to be consistent in these reviews - is the front desk staff. I would describe their manner as between surly and barely tolerant... more

Typical business traveler. Really think this place is a great place if you know what to expect from a small vintage botique hotel. I have stayed at the Carleton a few times for business. I have always stayed in the Hotel, so can't speak to the negative reviews of the adjacent motor court buildings, other than it looks like the... more

When I visit Oak Park, a charming town just east of Chicago at the end of the Green Line, I always stay at the Carleton Inn. It's close to downtown, the Green Line, and all the major Frank Lloyd Wright destinations, including Unity Temple and his Home and Studio. But if you stay here, you must be aware that it... more
