The Carleton of Oak Park Hotel

"Great location. Beds are extremely uncomfortable. The front desk people tried to be helpful. The room was extremely hot and the thermostat did not work well. The room cleaning service was awful, they only picked up trash if it was by the door, they never cleaned or refilled the towels, glasses etc. Because the loaction is so nice and handy is the only reason I would consider staying here again."

"Pros of this place: It's clean, quiet, and has friendly service. Con: The floor in our room was so uneven that it very noticeably sloped downhill as we walked across the room...to the point where even when laying down on the bed, you could feel the slope of the mattress, which caused the foot of the bed to be slightly but noticeably higher up than the head. Same with the desk. It did not sit level, so if you put something like a pen on it, it would roll down. There are WAY bigger problems that can be found in a hotel than this. I've traveled enough, I know. The weird flooring is minor, but worth noting. Otherwise, our room was clean, and staff were friendly. I recommend this place."

"It is an okay place; just okay. Nothing fantastic and staff don’t seem to know what their policy is. Each staff you ask a question offers a different answer. It was over prices in my opinion but I had to stay here cos I was in town for a wedding. I liked that the building has some history to it and they owners of the hotel have a nice touch that allowed guests to enjoy old book in semi private reading rooms. The hotel also has a hall for rent so the lobby was very busy on a Friday as a wedding party was had. Later at night, the hall ways were slightly crowded with the wedding party. A good think about this location is that it has access to food and other stores; a Target is close by."

"Recently booked a Remembrance event at this hotel. Included an “effortless” lunch and that describes the entire experience. Katie Fox (Sales and Catering) was outstanding, personable, supportive, clearly explained options and pricing and was on site during the event. All staff were cordial, responsive and accommodated last minute changes. Great food catered and nicely presented by hotel restaurant, La Notte. Many compliments from guests. A lovely venue, conveniently located with vintage charm. Highly recommend."

"I'm torn on writing this review. I arrived late in the evening & had to leave very early. Not much of a chance to rate much. Lobby is pretty. Parking is odd. I had a standard room that was a decent size but not nearly as nice as the pictures on the website. The bed was beyond uncomfortable to the point my back still hurts. Elevator is very tiny & made me uncomfortable, old & noisy. Neighborhood seemed safe with different shops within walking distance. It was an experience to stay here other than a chain hotel."
