We loved the building and decor. The location, for us, was perfect. We enjoy being in downtown Oak Park. Our room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable.

There was no breakfast, nor was there a restaurant in the hotel to get breakfast. That was disappointing.

Darlene United States of America

I love historic hotels like the Carleton. The location was fantastic with so much charm and history.

For such an old hotel you expect some mustiness and mold. Nope! Fresh, clean, yet authentically Victorian. It’s like the Palmer House had a baby (but that place is musty!).
