Verified Reviews of Carleton of Oak Park
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Well located, spacious, clean and convenient Hotel!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The Carleton hotel is located in heart of downtown Oak Park close to shops, restaurants, the train to Chicago proper and in walking distance to FLW neighborhood. We were visiting local friends. We had two fun filled days including site seeing and tour of the FLW home and studio. Then a day in Chicago; Art Institute and Riverboat architecture tour. It was convenient to have Poor Phil's downstairs for drinks and even a bite to eat. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful! We were able to catch an Uber into the City very easily. Overall, a great place to stay that was very comfortable with spacious room and good beds. (One comment would be that the toilet bowl is industrial grade and loud!).

Overall Score4.0/ 5
Location, charm and good service. The king rooms on the Plaza side are worth the extra money. The beds are superbly comfortable, and the rooms are nicely appointed and quiet, even when there's an event in the ballroom or lobby. Phil's is a convenient added plus! We have stayed here four times in the last year and will be back. The Carleton is our “go to” when we are in Oak Park!

Overall Score4.0/ 5
The check in process was smooth and the staff was friendly and helpful. I had a single queen room and it was very nice. It was spacious and comfortable. I ate at Poor Phil's for supper (one of two restaurants on site) and the food was very good and the service was quick. I proceeded to check out the next day and it was done smoothly and efficiently.
