We liked the location, the room and helpful staff. The drawback was that the hotel has a very dated sunken lobby. This made handling luggage too unwieldy without assistance. This includes entering the hotel and room, and exiting at the end of our stay. We and our friends found that to be too much hassle to stay there again.

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.
