Joe and Liz was very friendly and helpful to all of my needs The housekeeper I didn’t get her name but she had the room looking brand new I checked high and low and the room was cleaned and smelled fresh

I never been to this location and was surprised that I ever booked here before Next morning booked for my birthday with a bigger room I am excited already Five star service from the Franklin Park staff

Jennifer Schmuhl

The room my husband & had chosen was HYPNOTIC The staff was great & the room spotless & there’s also a little store in the front where you can buy different fun items if you wanted Loved it we ended up staying overnight, I’m so glad we did because theres so much to do

Will have to go again & pick a different room * It’s great this place is 10 minutes from our home & didn’t even know 😁 *

Nice location You do have to be a member, which takes 4 hours to get approved during working hours or 48 hours otherwise I think membership was $30 for the whole year

After you get approved, you get to choose the options for the room (champagne etc)This location is motel style with the parking in the middle The office is right at the entry and they have all types of stuff available for purchase, like water, soda, candy, chocolate strawberries, bubble baths, lotions, flowers They only car info they need is the make, model and color, license plates are not required We were staying in the Prism room and it was very neat There were rose petals on the bed and the floor They also had 3 playing dice complementary as part lf the assembly The jacuzzi and shower are combined but the toilet is separated There were more then enough towels and also bath robes which were available for purchase too The color changing lights above the bed are super fun to discover The only downside is the TV is not smart so you won’t be able to connect to Netflix or any provider to watch a movie if you choose so Overall a great experience

The room was clean enough, however I was disappointed we received a king room with one bed despite booking a room for three people I was told no other rooms were availableAdditionally, the front desk attendant the morning of Sunday July 24, chastised my three year old for talking excitedly while waiting for our 5am shuttle

I would understand if the lobby was anywhere near the rooms, but it isn’t In fact several adult groups walked by being loud returning from nights out and she didn’t say anything to them

Alex Daly

Staff was unprepared and totally frazzled by the number of guests There wasn’t enough parking, but they will not refund you, you have to park outside a parking space and hope No one blocks you in Room was super small, TV was for ants (like maybe 26in) and had no ability to move or connect to Hdmi port

Bathroom was decent but had no exhaust fanAlso this hotel has one bank of elevators that are aways in use, might as weel take the stairsAll of this would have been acceptable if not for the insane prices Left a day early because we hated the hotel so muchAvoid

Enjoyed our stay immensely,(my wife)& I being of old school character, enjoyed the old generation of Ambience, old time feelFrom the lobby,to our quaint(clean)roomEnjoyed the old craftsmanship & decor of entire hotel

as well as the small elevator (that seemed to take 4ever to rise to your floor)when time is not of essence Not to mention the staff kindness & hospitality Next time in area this will be tops on my list of places to Stay & would highly recommend to friends/ family who would enjoy a visit back in timeTo the Good old DaysFeel It!

MissRenee Richardson

The Carleton of Oak Park is indeed a beautiful historic hotel However at over $250 a night completely disappointing Hardly no amenities or better yet any at all for this price

The hotel offers two room types, Boutique and motel Their website does not show more expensive boutique rooms have a view of either a brick wall or the parking lot, no gardens as depicted in pictures They did not have one functioning vending machine on all 4 floors Literally no where to purchase bottled water or any other simplicities No coffee station in the lobby, no continental breakfast at minimum Staff was cordial but looked at us like we were bothersome when we asked for nearby restaurant suggestions Nothing in immediate walking distance We had to ask the front desk to provide water Better off spending money at a Marriot

I really liked the room environment quiet and peaceful with clean sheets but old towels were in the closet place just laying dirty Also, while completing my assignment for school Staff member cut the WI-FI off while submitting my work could not believe it Thanks for having good Professor at my University I did not get 10 % deduction for failing to submit my work on time

Hristo Yankov

I am not picky and usually very easy to please, all I need is clean sheets and a quiet night I wouldn’t even complain about the whiff of marijuana I caught around the premisesBut when the neighbors next door wake me and my entire family up at 2am, (including 14yo daughter), by banging (on) the bed against the wall, this is where I draw the line for acceptable accomodations

I’m very satisfied with my stay at the Hampton Inn All my expectations were greatly met My room was clean, spacious, well let

My husband and I got good night rest, mattresses and pillows were very comfortable, soft but firm Continental breakfast was great too, many foods to choose from Plus, I liked 24 hour complementary coffee, tea, water, and snacks All staff members were friendly and informative as well I liked check in and out times, especially noon check out I felt relieved and relaxed in the morning by not being rushed into check out Hampton Inn- Thank you for giving me such a great stay and service!!!

Alessandra Williams

From the time I checked in, the associates were friendly, personable, and professional The room was clean and I was impressed with the modern look of the room During the stay, I needed use of the business center

While the printer wasn’t working, the front desk representative was extremely helpful in printing the documents I needed Adhering to safety protocols, I liked that there were staff to prepare the waffles and handle the other breakfast items The interior and exterior of the hotel was clean and well-kept I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again

Stephanie Marie

Despite the construction in the building, the hotel was great There was plenty of parking both nights I stayed All of the hotel employees that I encountered were so nice and always willing to assist in any way possible

I was not able to use the digital check-in key through the Hilton app, but the front desk checked me in within 5 minutes The room itself was very nice and very clean The mattress was comfortable, not too firm or too soft There were lots of towels provided in the bathroom The hallways were quiet at night and in the early morning This hotel is not that close to the city, but I would stay here again for business

+bathroom+spacious room-Stephanie-room service-pool area-parkingThis by far was my worst Hilton stay! I called in advance to see if I could check in at 2pm The lady on the phone asked me my last name, confirmed my reservation and told me coming at 2pm would be perfectly fine Well I get there and Stephanie who did not come off very customer friendly at all quickly shut me down and told me I could not check in early

I explained I called for this very reason before driving 40minutes She told me I’d have to wait about 30-40min and there were people ahead of me That was the first thing I understood she was doing her job but she comes off very rude with how she speaks and her facial expressions Once we were finally checked in Stephanie then gave me & my mom the same room number on our keys so I had to go back downstairs to get this fixed The rooms were very spacious but so outdated, the carpet and furniture was hideous but I liked the space and the bathroom was my favorite We stayed 3 nights but room service never showed up until we called On day two my husband saw room service and asked if they could come get our trash and dirty towels and she told him if we wanted our room cleaned we had to call the front desk I’m not sure if this is new but even when you stay for a couple of nights they at least come to your room to offer new towels and pick up any full trash When we finally got new towels my towel was so thin and hard it hurt, literally it was nothing like the first set of towels But, my biggest complaint is the pool Our swimsuits had a awful smell after getting into the pool/hot tub I have never had an odor as such after being in a pool Next thing I know we are all sick by the time check out comes The only person that was not sick is my mom and she is the only one who didn’t step foot in the pool or hot tub To top it off when I checked in I was handed a card to put in my car but was never told I was being charged daily for parking I have never paid for parking when staying at the Hilton This was my first time at this particular Hilton and will be my lastIt was my most expensive stay but yet my least favorite I will say the gentleman that worked the night shift I didn’t get his name but he was very friendly to myself and my daughter

Carl Kroboth (CPK3RD)

Is it terrible? No Is it excellent? NoBut hello 1990, I hear you want your hotel back

Updates are definitely needed, as the rooms look the exact same as when I traveled a lot in the late 90’s and early 2000sAs for the cleanliness of the room it was a 3 out of 5 One stained bath towel, and the old furniture just doesn’t make the room inviting The shower leaked through the door soaking the bath matNot to mention $20 for a $10(value) breakfast Only because the closest place to get breakfast is 10min awayJudging by the other recent reviews it looks like Hilton has some work to do to bring this hotel back to the 5 star status it once was

Robyn Christopher

Booked a King Suite, stayed 3 nights The location was perfect! Close to highway into Chicago, near shopping and plenty of dining optionsThere must have been a few mix ups with our booking, initially they were showing as 2 nights not 3 but that was straightened out at check in

We didn’t have a king bed in the king suite, it was a queen The mattress was very hardThis hotel has an elegant banquet hall next to it and uses it for events like weddings There were 3 during our stay This wouldn’t be an issue, except once the event ends the guests staying at the hotel tend to continue the party in the center of the hotel The center is a gathering / seating area and the noise traveled very well up to the 6th floor and thru my door at 2 & 3 in the morningFront desk staff is relatively non-existent and isn’t very friendly or helpful Breakfast is OUTRAGEOUS $12 for their “continental” is some fruit, a few bread choices and cereal And for $20 you can have breakfast like sausage and eggs from a warmer

Ben Forsyth

Incredible staff Loved all interactions with the people working here But the hotel is simply dated

Needs a renovation Not worth $150 especially with breakfast not included $190 total including breakfast Friendly staff, quick shuttle, and newer fitness equipment made me consider 2 starsThe pool was locked by deadbolt the one night we were there so we couldn’t use it Fitness Center was shoved into 2 long storage closets with no water reloaded in the self serve stations Breakfast buffet is only available on weekends when the hotel expects more income so overpriced menu only on weekdays No refrigerator in the room No bottles of water in the room except from front desk And once again, the interior of the rooms and common areas need an update bad if they want to compete successfully in this price pointHilton needs to audit this one and push ownership to invest in the property to update everything in order to keep the flag And give the staff a raise for making this property seem better than it is!

OA Dorsey

We stayed here overnight, and I really enjoyed my stay The check-in service was warm and professional (thank you Rosa) The room was spacious, clean and the bed was VERY COMFORTABLE

My only disappointment were the towels They were not what you expect from a HILTON property The towels were very abrasive, they need to be discarded and replaced with soft, fluffy and plush towelsthe ones you EXPECT FROM A HILTON HOTEL Other than that, my stay was WONDERFUL!!!😊😊😊😊

Tricia Walania

This was a great experience The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating We were in town for a wedding that was taking place at this hotel

Everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome The front desk staff was friendly and personable It was great having a restaurant right there as well as a Starbucks Our room was clean and comfortable The elevators and common areas were clean, well kept The hotel is close to many things and has easy access to the highway and airport The ballrooms were great too, a lot of room and the wait staff at the wedding reception were friendly and working hard to clear plates and refill drinks Can’t wait to stay here again

Pamela M. Allen

My boyfriend and I are members of IHG hotels and almost exclusively book at Holiday Inn Express when we travel within the US for the excellent value provided—the clean and spacious rooms, pool, gym, computers/internet, and the endless options at the free continental breakfast buffet

I have stayed at 4 Holiday Inn Express locations this year so far and this one was the worst of them all The staff was nice though not exceptionally kind, and the breakfast was great as per usual, but the building is in terrible shape Discolored carpets were the first bad thing I noticed in the hallway on the way to my room, and upon entering room 113, I noticed a musty, earthy smell and grayish splotches all over the ceiling The room felt exceptionally humid, despite the thermostat being set to 68 degrees F and there being an obvious stream of AC running into the room From my educational/work background, I am positive this is a clear example of a sick building Someone else here noted in their review that the room humidity when they stayed was 82%, which is indeed hazardous for human health as mold will surely grow in the building—and already is This was not the quality of room I expected from a Holiday Inn Express I was really sad and disappointed to see this room, reminiscent of a cheap motel This type of experience is the reason I book with Holiday Inn Express as opposed to other hotels Luckily the next night I stayed in a different, beautiful Holiday Inn Express location, so I am sure this one is an outlier Please do better… the state of this location is a shame!

Heather Cousineau

This hotel was ok, but not quite up to the standards I expect for a holiday inn express The walls are thin, you can hear road noise as well as conversations in rooms nearby The room itself was a nice size, with comfy beds and plenty of pillows

The bathroom wasn’t quite as clean as I would prefer There were dark hairs in the shower/tub as well as on the floor The breakfast was lackluster, but I settled for cereal and called it enough The front desk gal was very helpful, and the shuttle driver was nice

Kelli Hamilton

The building is brand new, but already looking aged Seems like maybe the original build was not the best Our toilet paper holder was already separating from the wall and there was edging missing on the bathroom cabinets

The dining area smelled strongly of mold, so much so that I couldn’t sit there to eat I likely wouldn’t stay there again

This was a top notch experience The hotel is overall very nice, clean and modern All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially Kyla at the front desk

The room was very clean, and the beds were comfy The best part about our stay was the indoor/outdoor pool that connected We laid out and relaxed on the deck for hours, it was very peaceful For the price it was well worth it, I will definitely be returning

Dua Kaylani

We stayed here for a 3 day conference The bad: the employees at the front desk don’t know how to deal with crowds, they were ready to explode at any minute, anyone asking to change a room, or wanted a service that they don’t offer, felt like a crisis happening, at some point I thought an employee was deaf because he was completely ignoring a person who didn’t stand in line As someone who deals with people often, these employees need training, serious training

The good: The hotel was very clean, all our needs were met, the service at the bar for lunch and the rooms was superb The food servers at the dinner hall were welcoming and fastWe were able to leave our luggage at the hotel desk after check out to tour the city then come back pick them up in the evening before leaving to the airportThe shuttle to the hotel is a great service! Over all will come back for sure

Jackie Hudson

A good place near the airport if you have a layover Courtesy van runs every 30 min and was very efficient and driver was professional and helpful Disappointed that two chicken sandwiches and to mixed drinks plus tip was almost as much as the room ($90, no kidding) but there is nothing close by and we were too tired after 13 hr flight to look for other options

Richard Dawson

We had an exceptional experience at the Guesthouse, I think we’ve found the hotel we will return to when staying in Chicago The rooms are large, well appointed, and very homey We were very comfortable during our stay

Footsteps do travel through the floors, so if you are light sleeper, be warned, you may want to get a top floorThe neighborhood is very safe and only a short drive from downtown If you want to be in the heart of Chicago this hotel is obviously not for you, but if you are looking for a clean, comfortable, and spacious hotel that is just outside of downtown, then this is a great option Actually, the rooms here are enormous compared to most hotels in the downtown area, making this a great option for family groups

Sam Brickfield

The Guesthouse was an exceptional stay for my family We were in town for my brother’s wedding and I have an 8 month old infant The Guesthouse was incredibly accommodating

They had so much of the baby stuff that we needed so we didn’t have to bring it, and the room was perfect for a small family to use as a home base during a busy wedding weekend I’d absolutely stay here again

thomas flegler

Other than the friendly staff there are no positive aspects to note The hotel (room #302) was dirty with grime on tables, bathrooms, and floors The linens are cheap and heavily scented with a sticky feel from way too much fabric softener

The beds and couch were lumpy, cheap, squeaky and uncomfortable The locks on the bathroom doors were broken The carpets were visibly soiled The TV was ridiculously small and unusable The furniture is heavily distressed with scratches, worn fabric, etc High noise level in the area and not cheap Will never stay here again

Cathy Medina

Clean, comfortable room I got upgraded to a king suite Nice staff

Ideal location for me Just three things I was not happy about-Channel up/down on the TV remote didn’t work Had to manually put in channels Hard to do when you don’t know the channel numbers-Phone in room didn’t work-I was told pool was heated It was not

Cat 3

Pros: Comfortable beds, quiet, the pool is huge Showers had good water pressure The front desk guy that I saw the most was super nice and helpful

Cons: Things that were listed on the website were either unavailable or not true (no free breakfast, the pool is NOT heated, the restaurant is not open) If you have a lot of luggage and need to haul it in with a cart the entrance from the side parking lot isn’t accessible (there’s a step to get in the door) and the back parking lot is gravelI think a lot of the cons wouldn’t have stung so much if the price per night hadn’t been so high I kind of ate the cost because I thought I was paying for the amenties, but to get there and have to go to WalMart to get microwave breakfasts and dinners suckedI would only stay here again if the rooms were 100 or less a night, or if they got the breakfast/restaurant situation straightened out

Richard Willer

AWFUL place to stay including management I took pictures of my room that I will be posting on other social mediaThe room was not cleaned

An opened beer was in the fridge, safety bobby pin on the floor, tape literally holding some of the wall together, and the mirror when steamed stated ‘TRUMP 2021!’ I talked to the supervisor when he came in at 4pm only to say they will just take 20% off and can’t find any product to remove the sign on the mirror! Room preparation is a simple task Hotels accept damage deposits, so most issues should be an easy fix, just buy a new mirror or washing product then! Seems very lazy on staff

Staff was extremely courteous I booked the room the night before our stay Got an excellent room, very clean and spacious

Special shout out to the young lady at reception, upon checkout she mentioned that my daughter didn’t have a coat and that it was like 10 degrees outside Which made me realize we left it on the chair in the room I am extremely grateful for the great customer relations this young lady provided If I’m ever back in town this is where I’ll be staying I wish I could remember her name, but we checked out around 11 am on March 12 2022

Piriyatharisini Thamilselvan

The rooms were good and spacious There were all basic electronics like coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, hairdryer, iron box and table, safety locker and TV set Morning breakfast was really good and ample

The potatoes and eggs were warm and comforting In the evening the UNO Pizzeria served good The only con was the cooling cycles in rooms were bit uneven but was manageable with constant fan But overall we had a comfortable stay for 3 days with a toddler and an infant

La Reina Harris

My room was comfortable and the floor I was on was quiet The manager that assisted me when I called at 0400 while at work was very helpful, she checked to see if rooms were available for an early check-in request Luckily she did have a room for me and greeted me by name upon my arrival

One downside to this wonderful work-business stay for me, the flat-affect African American female working the front desk on 4/17 was a bit short in her demeanor and she had the nerve to say she spoke with me at 0400 Not! She clearly has no accent off any kind People who want to claim good deeds who’ve done nothing are not to be trusted, including those who lack customer service skills for a major hotel chain I will make sure to refer this hotel to my Nurse & Dr colleagues for their business travel trips

Booked a king room Got double full size beds that barely fit both of us Both beds didn’t use a fitted sheets, which is fine if the flat sheets actually covered the mattress

Both were not completely covering the mattress at the foot of the bedAirport shuttle arrived and left late Appeared to just be sitting on the side of the hotel across the street until 5am where it pulled up to pick up people there before coming over to the Doubletree If it cannot leave on the hour as stated, the time should be adjusted Shuttle driver left the door shut until loading all bags making us wait, before letting everyone on (although there were guests from the other hotel already on the shuttle)! Why would it matter if people are already on? I’ve seen this before at this hotel during the winter thinking it I’d appropriate to have guests wait in freezing weather to board

First impression of my visit this past weekend (6/10/22) was that this place was going to be great The lobby was impressive and well maintained and check-in was friendly and efficient Unfortunately this trend did not continue

Once we reached the ninth floor the halls were overly warm a thermostat on the wall near the elevator stated it was 77 degrees and it remained that way our entire stay My group and I were treated to various unpleasant smells over the course of our weekend stay in the same hallway Again our first impressions of the room were great but that faded as the weekend drew on A moderate sized stain on the carpet we discovered when we moved a chair to play board games, small spots of peeling wallpaper, messy grout in the bathroom shower, incredibly dirty AC/heater vent, and mini fridge but no microwave were amongst the biggest annoyances for a room of the price range Breakfast was the biggest surprise, there was a buffet with a pretty standard spread of items like scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, cereal, and a fruit bar We were waved over to a table and then went to get our food, some of the items that should have been cold were room temp like the cottage cheese Imagine our surprise when the man who waved us to the table brought us checks as it was not posted anywhere or ever told to us that this was not complimentary like it is a “lower” caliber hotels After tax something like $21 per person for this buffet One of our group only had a small bowl of cereal and a glass of water Overall very disappointed

Great place to stayRooms were ample and nicely furnished, I like coffee pots that do not use pods My room had a tub, unfortunately didn’t had a chance to enjoy it

Location is unbeatable, walking distance to the outlets and very convenient shuttle service to the airportEven taking the CTA train is just a 10 minutes walk awayFront desk helped out group a lot, we had special requests and they worked hard to help usGreat place to stay, the welcome cookie is a nice touch

Relatively new, well-maintained, spotlessly clean hotel I am very particular about cleanliness and the room met my expectations Of the three front desk people we encountered during our stay, all were extremely friendly and accommodating

We were also happy to see that full breakfasts were back After check-in, it’s the first time I have ever received a text from a hotel inquiring as to whether or not everything was satisfactory in the room

Really enjoyed my peaceful stay here The 2 ladies at the front desk, when I checked in, went beyond the usual to make me feel welcome The room was spacious, the view was good (considering the location), it was quiet, the bed, pillows and comforters were soft and comfy, breakfast was good

I did not make use of the pool or gym Ample parking space as well

WOW ! This place was a wonderful place Great staff, HUGE room Well, Let me explain that I am handicapped ( in a wheelchair on occasions) This room was HUGE!Even the door to the rest room was a sliding door, which made getting in and out a breeze

The TV again huge ( for a hotel room)Had a wonderful brunch great towels, coffee maker and coffee and even an Iron and board (if needed)close to shopping, food, and the highway system And never heard any of the traffic from I-55Again the room was huge You could of had 10 people in that room and still been comfortable Again it was a handicapped roomI just wish that my wife had told me that they had a pool down the hallThis will be my “Go To” hotel when in Illinois

This is by far the BEST Hilton property we have visited I worked in front office hospitality for 3 years and we lodge in hotels for my husbands work often so I am usually very picky…honestly I haven’t found a single thing to critique about this property!Niki and Leo from breakfast are so delightful My two year old daughter especially loves the extra attention “Miss Niki” shows her in delivering her breakfast with love

Niki also is so friendly to every guest that comes down I never see anyone leave with a frown She has a super power of de-escalating grumpy guestsIsrael’s breakfast is on point, he makes everything fresh and as you order so everything turns out perfect every timeEveryone from the front office has also been so helpful with anything we need help with Greg has been super helpful to create an efficient check-in and helps us with securing a parking spot to charge our carCleaning staff has been on top of everything, they keep all common areas so clean and fresh I was super impressed to see that when they mop the floors, they have a second person come by to dry so no slippery floor!Great job to the hiring management for staffing this hotel Seriously, this property should be used as an example to other properties that are opening

Hotel was pretty good Room was standard, felt a bit aged and non-updated It was quite annoying that the restaurant wasn’t open since it stated that the hotel had an on-site restaurant when I booked it, with no mention of it being closed, and no other option close enough to walk to

The breakfast was good, except I felt like I over paid by booking a room with breakfast included as I only ate from the cold buffet, which was ~$6 a day If you’re more of a hot food (ie omelettes, pancakes, waffles, etc) breakfast person, it’s probably a good deal, as that was $14 a day if I remember correctlyOverall it was a good stay

Ashley Odett

Very pleased with my stay here March 14-15th Hotel lobby and rooms were clean and inviting Rooms have great wifi and ethernet hookups, which was convenient for both personal and business use

Staff here is excellent! They were very accommodating in the lobby area while we had a small gathering during our stay Can’t speak highly enough of the service received from the dinner/bar staff during both breakfast and dinner hours Front desk staff was also friendly and informative regarding any questions that I had during my stay I was slightly disappointed to see the pool and hot tub closed during this time for cleaning, but glad to see it was being done, and felt no inconvenience as staff had already made arrangements for guests to use these facilities at a separate hotel adjacent to the parking lot 5/5 will definitely be staying here again next time I am in the area

This place is absolutely fantastic It’s so well designed, Beth is kind and friendly, but also gives you your privacy The house is so incredibly charming, and each little detail is anticipated

We stayed in the Jimmy Stewart suite, and from the towel warmers to the lovely bed linens, every inch of the room was relaxing and comfortable We will definitely be staying here anytime we come to Chicago or Oak Park
