Cozy and comfortable
We took an unexpected trip. The accommodations were excellent, the lobby was decked for Christmas, and Poor Phil's restaurant was really good. The bed was comfortable with the perfect temperature blanket. We slept well under trying times.

Great place to stay in Oak Park when seeing family. Stairs are a bit hard to navigate with luggage, but we managed. Room is quaint, and beds small, but we managed, and great coffee/lunch spots are walk-able nearby

A classic hotel in need of upgrades. In lieu of modern amenities, cleanliness is paramount. The bathroom was far from 3 star specifications, certainly not a 5 star experience worthy of the history and regency that this hotel embodies. Though disappointing, I will book again in the near future to see if the experience is normal or an exceptional anomaly.

This is the second time I stayed here, and I made reservations in May. It has everything. Some may balk at the 30 min CTA train ride into Downtown, but it is not a consideration to me. Besides, Oak Park is a charming, beautiful village. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Cgicago.

It’s an old property that needs updates to heating and air conditioning systems. The heat in our room was not adequate for the 25 degree temps.

Small
I didn't have much of an issue with the property but I will say it is extremely small, not even boutique small. You literally have to stand behind the bathroom door to close it. The sink is outside in the room which doesn't leave a lot of privacy. Limited staff so housekeeping is a change of towels thats it. Water machine broken on floor. I would only do a night stay, that's it. It did have a small fridge and microwave.

We reserved 4 rooms for ourself and family due to the location. It was convenient to our sons wedding venue. We received late check-in upon arrival because they were short staffed and our room was not ready. The night before the wedding, our room key did not work. The front desk said they couldn’t get us into our room until the morning due to a battery issue with the key box. They have us another room for the night however, we had nothing but the cloths on our backs. We slept in contacts, no toiletries, no cloths for the wedding, no medication for the night due to everything being in our locked room. We were able to get into our room the next morning and hurried to get ready. We requested a one night refund for our room and inconvenience. We were told it would be handled since we spent over $1400 in rooms. You can imagine our surprise when a check for $50 arrived in the mail as compensation. I was not surprised that the manager never returned my two phone calls to discuss. I recommend everyone avoid this dump. The staff was rude and unhelpful. If I could give zero stars I would.
