This is a historic property and the age does show, however it was exactly what I expected. The location is perfect! There are several different dining and shopping areas within walking distance. Parking was a plus as this is a highly popular area and parking can be a problem. I would recommend and will likely to return myself.

Easy access to the L Green line gives you access to all of Chicago. But there is enough in Oak Park alone to make it a destination. The Carleton is my choice in the greater Chicago area.

A unique non-cookie cutter hotel! On the night I was there, TV reception was poor, without any interfering weather conditions. I would suggest more outlets, including charging outlets for tech, which my room did not have. But it’s a charming space.

Great place & good location. Clean, functional.

It is an early 20th Century apartment building converted into a hotel, years ago. Lots of charm still there, such as in the bathroom. It was clean and well maintained. It is in a good and convenient neighborhood with lots of eating and shopping options. The train was nearby but I never used it Parking was good. I would stay there again. It seems to be a perfect location, at least for me.

The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because our room had a very old, musty smell that never went away. My guess is not all the rooms had that smell, but since we only stayed for one night, we did not ask for a new room. But we loved the room, decor and hotel overall and would stay again. Definitely recommend.
