10/10 Exceptional

Perfect for visit to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Oak Park

Very convenient for visiting Frank Lloyd Wright sites in Oak Park. Train station less than a block away. Located in the Pleasant historic neighborhood in a classic building, we enjoyed the classic lobby vibe. Room was basic but clean with a nice kitchenette. We loved the plentiful free parking and the on-site bistro with outdoor seating
BRIAN, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is exquisite. It is clean, historic, quiet. The proximity to shops and restaurants is awesome. We only went to one of the attached restaurants, Poor Phil’s, but it’s is a must visit.

Angel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quaint 1920s hotel charming, clean, comfortable

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Carleton of Oak Park. Lovely building with a beautiful lobby!. Our room was spacious and clean; the bed quite comfortable. Easy-to-use shower/tub with two sinks...and fluffy towels. Loved the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture photos in the hallways. Great location too. We took a nice early morning walk around the neighborhood. Love the old buildings, the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired touches, the public art and the murals. Free parking. There are restaurants inside the hotel for breakfast and dinner, as well as several within walking distance.
Kathleen, 1-night trip

A respite in the city.

Easy check-in. All the front desk, staff, friendly and accommodating, plenty of towels and coffee from housekeeping. We'd definitely stay again.

Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Better then expected

Other then not having a pool. This place is not bad at all. It's an older hotel and with that it has wear, but is managed well. Its not close to downtown but close enough. The hotel is in the Oak Park area where you can walk around day or night to shop and eat safely.
John, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love staying at the Carlton. We stayed in a motel room, and it was clean and quiet. Fantastic location and onsite parking.
