Our stay at the hotel was delightful! It has a charming character and is conveniently located close to great restaurants and the metro. The rooms were spacious and clean, but I do wish the decor was a bit more modern. Overall, the value for the price is excellent, making it a fantastic choice if you appreciate a comfortable stay in a historical setting.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While I appreciated the clean rooms and charming atmosphere, the size and layout of the accommodations really detracted from my stay. The location is quite convenient for getting to downtown Chicago, which is a plus. However, I found the service lacking and parking to be a bit of a hassle.

Rooms

The room was exceptionally small, to the point where I felt cramped. It was clean, but the austere design was not appealing. The layout made it hard to use the tiny space effectively.

The hotel had basic amenities, but there wasn't much else available in terms of facilities. The parking situation could have been better, as it required a 3-block walk.

I stayed at this hotel during a busy time, and while it was clean and had some charm, the rooms were a mixed bag. The decor felt a bit outdated and the noise levels were not ideal. On the positive side, the surrounding neighborhood had great food options and a lovely atmosphere, which made my stay enjoyable despite some of the inconveniences.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was clean but had a dated feel with peeling paint and stained carpet. It was spacious, but the original windows allowed a lot of noise in.

I had a wonderful stay at this quaint hotel in Oak Park. The location is absolutely ideal for exploring the area, especially the Frank Lloyd Wright homes. The accommodations were clean and offered great amenities, although the room was a bit small. The staff were welcoming and made me feel right at home. While the dining experience was top-notch, with delicious food, the portions were quite large and hard to finish. Overall, a good value for money considering the excellent service and unique atmosphere.

I had a delightful stay in this quaint hotel which is perfectly positioned just above Scoville Park and close to the Green Line train. The rooms are comfortable and equipped with useful amenities like a fridge and microwave. The staff, especially Albert, provided excellent service, making the experience even more enjoyable. Dining options were outstanding, with the bistro offering fantastic meals. However, some areas may feel dated, and not everyone may appreciate its quaint vibe.
