We were visiting family and booked this motel because of its proximity to family and downtown,and free parking. We were able to check in early in the day which was nice and the front desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean for the most part,there was a dirty towel left behind the bathroom door and the... More

I'm not sure what is going on with this property. One of the negative reviews I saw before my trip has disappeared. It was from a gentleman who had just arrived in his room and could tell things weren't right. I figured his negative review was just a fluke. Big mistake! We arrived after midnight and it was too late... More

Dear Ms. Eldridge, I sincerely apologize that we were unable to meet your needs on your recent stay. We were unaware there was an issue and wish that you had called it to our attention during your stay so that we could have addressed it at that time. In any event I thank you for taking the time to comment... More

We went for a weekend trip, Baseball, Museums ect. So it was at a good location to catch the L to get around. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. Glad we stayed and will definitely book a room again when we head to Chicago.

We were just supposed to have a lay over in Chicago Midway airport on our way to Los Angeles but due to a terrible storm we were stuck at the airport. Fortunately we were able to get a room at your hotel for the night. Victor, the young man that checked us in, was so helpful, polite, and looked so... More

We came to Chicago for a family funeral, and needed to pick up a daughter @ Midway Airport, so selected this hotel, based on a great rate. We were welcomed professionally, and offered all forms of assistance - plances to eat, transportation, baggage assistance. We followed their dinner suggestion and had a memorably wonderful meal. The next morning they offered,... More

Best stay and reasonably priced. Rooms are clean and quiet. Continental breakfast provided a variety of choices, plus coffee makers are in the rooms. Hotel is conveniently located just a block from CTA (the El) and only 4 or 5 stops from the loop making travel to and from the city easy. Even though its only a short walk, the... More

Bases on multiple reviews, we chose to deviate from our normal Chicago stays and picked a hotel outside the downtown area. The Carlton Inn exceeded our expectations particularly because of the the office staff. In all of my travels, we cannot recall any management as helpful and sincere as those at the Carleton Inn. We had wonderful suggestions and even... More

This property is hard to rate -- a super-nice staff goes the extra mile in every regard, for an old-style motel in a dour area. Convenience to Midway Airport and to the Chicago transit system are big pluses. Our room was fine but not memorable, and plane-noise was noticeable. If you're price-conscious, this is a very good choice at Midway.

Staye don business, and while an older hotel, definitely full of charm. I liked that it was slightly different and unique than a regular box hotel. The bathroom was stunning with hex tile covering almost every surface, exposed chrome bath fixtures and neat claw foot tub. I worked with an architectural firm and from a design standpoint, it was a... More
