As mentioned, there is construction going on right outside the hotel. It wasn't a big deal except that getting in and out of the parking areas needed a little thought. We were in town for a reunion in Oak Park so this was a good choice. After staying here, I think it might be a good choice for lodging whenever... More

Went for a wedding at the hotel and had a nice time. The owner takes care of his patrons if anything is wrong! More

I stayed four nights in September and chose the Carleton due to it's very close proximity to the green line subway station and a 30 minute journey to Central Chicago avoiding high city centre price accomodation. I decided to stay in the motel annexe and had a large bungalow style room fitted out with a large queen size bed, table,... More

I have just returned from another happy stay at The Carleton Hotel. This time we were in a refurbished suite on the second floor. The new showers are a great improvement, as are the new decorations. There was a newly installed kitchenette with smart new fridge and microwave. These double suites are extremely spacious and ideal if you are visiting... More

I stayed in the motor lodge part of this hotel (lower price). The closest parking lot was full, so I had to be about block away. Parking was free, so no complaints. Check in was smooth. Room was clean, but a bit sparse on the furnishings. My room had two double beds, a table and four diner style chairs. There... More

My husband, son and I stayed here for one night recently, in connection with a high school reunion. At check-in, we were pleasantly surprised to discover our double room reservation had been upgraded to a suite. We were in Room 405, a large corner suite. The bedroom contains two double-sized beds, a small closet, a bedside table and lamp, an... More

My husband and I came to this hotel on the recommendation of the family we were visiting. We recently had to give up our old cats for adoption, because our condo association decided that. The family that adopted them lives in Oak Park, There were only two choices, and apparently the other place is some sort of broken down curiosity... More

They had street works going on, which the on-line booking agent DID advise us in the fine print. It was only a problem for finding access to the place, it wasn't loud. Once we found access, it was fine. Just allow 5mins more to drive round the block to find the way in. The staff were great, the hotel room... More

Major street construction surrounds this hotel. No one told us about this construction when we made the reservations and no compensation is given. Clean room with lumpy mattress and parking is at a premium especially on weekends. Be wary of the many "panhandlers" that approach you day and night. More
