Carleton of Oak Park

This is a tired hotel in a great area, it’s apparent the owners aren’t spending much on this place. The cleaning person should be fired. I was excited to stay here close to my daughter’s new apartment we were moving her into. The rating on Hotels.com is 9.2. No way this is a 9.2 hotel. We checked in with four people and had reserved 2 rooms. They were both the old motel rooms apparently. We checked out both, one smelled horrible like dirty diapers, had crumbs in the drawer, dirt on the floor, the window had dust and dirt behind the curtain. We looked at two other rooms, they were just as bad. The man at the desk gave us the vibe that we were interrupting his meal. He upgraded to inside the main hotel. When I opened the door, there was suitcases and clothes making it apparent this was occupied. Went back to front desk and got another (5th room now…) key and decided at this point, it’s not going to be much better. It was better than the garden suites, but old and tired. Remodeled in like 1993? Won’t be back which is a shame because this could be a great hotel with some decent housekeepers who actually clean and some upgrades to rooms.

Loved the vintage vibe of this hotel. The room was very clean.

Great location, super cute neighborhood. Super adorable boutique hotel! Staff were great & rooms were very clean. I would definitely stay here again!

There was no bar and the kitchen was not stocked. However it was very quiet and comfortable.

It is an older hotel but that's part of its charm. It is clean, nicely decorated, classic vibes.
