• Historic hotel in good location.
• Don't stay in the motor inn.

“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.”

• It was upscale but not stuffy.
• The vents were extremely dirty and I woke up with allergies.

“The hotel is beautiful. Not only is it well-staffed but it's also very romantic.”

• The room was large and comfortable.
• The so-called free Wi ¿ Fi has such a weak signal that it was unusable

“Comfortable surroundings with a large room. Free parking is a big plus. Not very convenient for business in the city, but the rate is much less and it is only a block from the el. The downside, and to me it is a major downside, was that the wi-fi signal was too weak to allow effective access to the web. I work from my laptop while traveling and need to access my firm's network. This was not possible for the two days that I stayed there and this will eliminate the Carleton from my future business travel plans. This is unfortunate, because it otherwise is a pleasant and attractive hotel.”

• Very Quaint setting in Oak Park. Walking distance to Unity Temple, Wright House and studio. Shopping district near by.
• N/A

“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.”
