My fiance and I booked this hotel for our wedding in June 2001. We put nearly $3000 down as a deposit. In January, I brought my mom to the hotel to show it to her and there was a sign saying it was closed. Come to find out, they had closed and declared bankruptcy. No one ever called me to... more

Lovely old hotel in downtown St. Charles was unnecessary for this type of trip. Just a few minutes down the road were lots of lower priced motels. The king size bed was fairly soft and I felt like I was rolling into the middle. There was a yellow stain on the inside of the bedspread. Clean , large room; no... more

My daughter and I stayed here for one night on a shopping trip. We did not pay for a river view room but still had a nice view of the river, which was a nice surprise. The staff was very helpful and polite. We loved the atomosphere and did not feel that it was overpriced. The room was sufficiently large... more

Stayed here for our wedding night. It was not worth the price - I've stayed at lower priced hotels that were much more enjoyable. We chose it because of the view of the river, and because it is historical. Big mistake, we should have goen with its competitor the Herrington (also on the river). The walls were paper-thin and we... more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Baker for a weekend get-away to celebrate our first anniversary. The hotel had a great river front location (see photo). The customer service was great. The rooms were not as nice as I expected for the price, but we did enjoy the hot tub on the private balcony. We booked a package... more

We recently stayed at the Hotel Baker for a friend's wedding. The wedding was in the rainbow room and was just gorgeous. I would totally recommend this as a site for a wedding. The food was also great - the filet was just as good as a steak at a restaraunt. The room was small, but nice. The sheets were... more

We stayed for two nights due to a convention at the Dupage county expo center. We sprung for the city view suite with whirlpool. The room and the hotel are rehabed art deco. Our room was quiet but did have some street noise but acceptable for a older downtown hotel. The whirlpool was a hot tub on a screened in... more

We stayed at the Hotel Baker while attending a friend's wedding in nearby Wayne, Illinois. My guess is that the Hotel Baker was nice at some point in its history, but frankly, it is showing its age. Although our room was a decent size, the furnishings were shabby and the walls thin (we could hear the details of our neighbors'... more

My husband and I chose the Hotel Baker for our wedding reception last September after viewing, literally, EVERY wedding venue in the entire Chicagoland area. We were among the first to book the hotel after it reopened following renovations in early 2004, and it proved to be an excellent choice in every category, including price, value, service, location, and picture... more
