The hotel is dated and room service was spotty. The location was great, as I believe that is the only respectable hotel in the Oak Park, Illinois area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a great stay. Recommend for large rooms, walkable and safe area, price, and free parking lots. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 stars is the room was very warm/stuffy and the fan worked but not air-I get it’s and older hotel but the thermostat was not secure and hanging on by a thread the tv was also hard to work it had to be turned in a certain position to power on. Those were not deal breakers to me and I would definitely stay again if I’m in the area.
