I would stay again. It was located close to my sister plus the free parking and breakfaast make it one of the best deals in the Chicagoland area. My first issue was the cleanliness. The beds were in terrific shape and everything alse seemed to be really clean on the surface. A normal person might not have noticed it but... More

Our guests are special to us and we certainly had no intent of making you feel uncomfortable- no one wants to feel embarrassed. As a result of your comment we... More

My sister and I checked late after a long drive from Nashville. We picked this Hotel because it is pet friendly and had a great rate! At check-in the man at the front desk was friendly, checked us in quickly and even had a bag of treats for the animal (how cute is that?). When we opened the door to... More

The staff, the room and the hospitality were superior. Our stay was excellent. The room was perfect. I have stayed in rooms from California to Long Island and this room dollar for dollar was as good or better than any other. Clean and quiet we were very pleased. Then next morning we were treated to an excellent continental breakfast. I... More

The staff is extremely competent, friendly and helpful, even providing us with discount coupons to the places we mentioned we would like to visit. They gave us a CTA map and we we able to buy our multi-day pass right there. Very easy to get downtown. The shuttle to the el was very appreciated on the last rainy day of... More

I was worried when I booked this motel, because it wasn't a chain, thus not familiar to me. But I wanted to be close to the Robie House (Frank Lloyd Wright), and while hotels-motels in the Chicago area are so expensive, this one was somewhat more reasonably-priced, and the reviews were good, so I did it. And was I glad... More

I think this place has been severely overrated on trip advisor. First, the good points... As noted by others, the staff are friendly and helpful. The courtesy transport to/from the airport is convenient and welcome. Although it has some major weaknesses, it is reasonable value for Chicago. There is a Giordano's within walking distance, which is great for Chicago style... More

This is a traditional motel with open balconies instead of inside corridors. It seems to be family run. It is about a mile from Midway Airport in a neighborhood that was traditionally Polish but is becoming more Hispanic. It is mainly a neighborhood of neat single family homes and locally owned businesses. The hotel has a shuttle to the airport.... More

We chose the Carlton Inn Midway based on the Tripadvisor reviews, and the place lived up to what others had said about it. The staff were above and beyond friendly and helpful. When we arrived, the front desk had a package of brochures stapled to directions for all kinds of toddler-friendly Chicago sites (they knew we were traveling with a... More

As you'll see in other reviews, the staff here is pretty nice. Sadly, the motel itself lacks some basics. We stayed in an upper floor (there are two), and all room entrances are to the outside. I can only imagine the fun in the Chicago winters, as there was a 3/4" gap at the front door. The room itself was... More
