I ended up breaking my leg and needed housekeeping to gather my belongings for me and they didn’t check any drawers for items. My mother had to go back and get all my stuff that housekeeping overlooked. Bed was uncomfortable to boot.

I stayed in Oak Park with some friends, so we were in 3 rooms total. The hotel was nice. The location was good and very close to the L station, so it was amazingly easy to get to loop and downtown. We didn't use the restaurants. The hotel is vintage. This means dated to some extent but the overall it comes together nicely. Very clean. The bath lacked much vanity space but my chest was right beside the bathroom door so no issue. I rated an 8 because I did experience that there was no service. I stayed 2 nights. I am fine not changng the towels for 1 day but would have liked a re-stock of the coffee. Also the coffee maker leaked which created a mess to clean up. I did fnd the walls thing and the room next to me had the TV on all night. I called at 4AM and the desk person said they would call then to have them turn it down but it didn't happen. (I could hear the TV clearly so would have heard if their phone rang.) I would definlty stay here again.

A respite in the city.

Easy check-in. All the front desk, staff, friendly and accommodating, plenty of towels and coffee from housekeeping. We'd definitely stay again.

Clean, nice vibe. No smell, quiet. Excellent location, train is right there. The shower faucet could be less wobbly. What quite unpleasant you surprised me that there were no USB ports to charge the phone.

This place is exquisite. It is clean, historic, quiet. The proximity to shops and restaurants is awesome. We only went to one of the attached restaurants, Poor Phil’s, but it’s is a must visit.
