Great area -- walkable to all kinds of shops and restaurants. Hotel was lovely and room was larger than expected. Only complaint would be the really aged sofa in our living area -- no padding and when you sat on it, you sank in, since the springs were "done".

Downtown Oak Park
Hotel was practically empty and was not allowed to check in before 3pm. Rooms are dated and smell musty. Bathroom has been recently updated but that’s all. Great location.

I wasn’t sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised to find a bit of a classic hotel that has been maintained at a high level. It felt elegant and was located in an are with restaurants and shopping. One block from the train so getting anywhere is easy. We will def be coming back!

Very nicely maintained old hotel from the 1920's judging by the coved ceilings. Very clean. Good beds. Like a visit to the past. Steam heat. Air conditioners. Be aware, lobby is six steps below street level, and a portion of the hotel requires a fight of stairs up to the lowest elevator level. Il that is a problem for you, requst rooms in the portion served by lobby level elevators.
