We absolutely loved this hotel! It is charming and has a unique "old world" feel. The staff was accommodating and kind, parking was more than adequate (free!) and very close by. The neighborhood, especially to the north is very nice and it is only one block from the 'L' We bought a 3 day pass and road the Subway everywhere. A true gem of a hotel.
Positives: ''Old world'' Charm.
Negatives: The 2 elevators were slow and small.

The Carleton of oak park is actually two hotels. One is the main hotel and the other consists of what appears to be a 1940s or 50s motor inn situated separately from the main hotel. I stayed at the motor inn. The motor inn retains all the charm of the era it was created in, and that is the downside. I expected to see those little stainless steel airstreams trailers parked nearby. Anyway, it is Spartan in amenities and the decor is dated. The room I had was one main room with a separate kitchen and bath. The wall paper was separating in some areas (noticeable), and the tile in the bath could have used updating. So get used to a night or so without checking emails! Advice? Shop around or spend the extra coin and stay at the main hotel. Too bad they were full when I was there, or I would have stayed there, too.
Positives: Historic hotel in good location.
Negatives: Don't stay in the motor inn.

Very clean, much older hotel. Enjoyed the quaintness of it. I would stay again! Actually I would rate this hotel a 3 and not a 2.
Positives: Very Quaint setting in Oak Park. Walking distance to Unity Temple, Wright House and studio. Shopping district near by.
Negatives: N/A

Starting at Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio Oak Park, Illinois is home to the world's largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright designed buildings and houses, with 25 structures built between 1889 and 1913. It was in our village that Wright developed and perfected his signature Prairie Style architecture, emphasizing the use of interior light and open spaces in low, earth-hugging buildings. His designs changed the course of 20th century architecture. Many of the Wright houses and buildings in Oak Park and River Forest are registered National Historic Landmarks. 1/2 mile north of the property
