We stayed at the Carleton for our son’s wedding weekend and just loved it! The hotel is just charming and the rooms were like mini apartments. The hotel bar is lovely.

The hotel has character and an old school vibe. The rooms have been very clean both times. It's only a few minutes walk to downtown Oak Park.
