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.

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.
