Lovely older property with large nicely appointed rooms. Convenient to walking everywhere. Have stayed here before and will again. If visiting Oak Park this is a great option!
This is a great property in the middle of a very nice area. We walked to the Frank Lloyd Wright house and Trinity Chapel. Lots of great shops and restaurants nearby.
It was within walkng distance of where i wanted to be and the comfort of the room was phenomenal

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel was fine, nothing fancy, but the friendly staff, location, walkable neighborhood, proximity to the Frank Lloyd Wright home, and the convenient access to the city via public transportation made this place a bargain! We would like to stay there again.
Property was clean. Room was quiet. Beds were very comfortable. Two dining options on the property. Within walking distance to other restaurants and shopping.
We had a wonderful weekend at the Carleton. The staff were very friendly and the room was beautiful. Nice quiet area and unique shopping within walking distance. The restaurants on site were awesome. La Notte was the perfect Italian experience ~ from the impeccable menu and perfect music to the memorable visit with the very knowledgeable chef, Giovanni.
Poor Phil’s was great as well with a very pleasant staff. Overall a fantastic weekend~We will be back for sure👍👍
