Thomas, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place & good location. Clean, functional.

It is an early 20th Century apartment building converted into a hotel, years ago. Lots of charm still there, such as in the bathroom. It was clean and well maintained. It is in a good and convenient neighborhood with lots of eating and shopping options. The train was nearby but I never used it Parking was good. I would stay there again. It seems to be a perfect location, at least for me.

Perfect for visit to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Oak Park

Very convenient for visiting Frank Lloyd Wright sites in Oak Park. Train station less than a block away. Located in the Pleasant historic neighborhood in a classic building, we enjoyed the classic lobby vibe. Room was basic but clean with a nice kitchenette. We loved the plentiful free parking and the on-site bistro with outdoor seating
