Clean, helpful staff and excellent location!! Loved being able to walk around Oak Park. Also, it was nice to have two restaurant options in the hotel even though neither was open for breakfast! Our son and family live 5 minutes away so it was very convenient. We will definitely stay there again!!

We stayed only one night to attend our granddaughter's play. The Carlton is our favorite place to stay in Oak Park. We stayed in the main building and it's ALWAYS clean and safe. Parking is nearby and accessible. Check in is easy and staff exceptional.

We had a wonderful stay! The room was big, clean, and incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the wee kitchenette! We also came in completely exhausted so it was a real boon to have a restaurant on the ground floor.
