The room was very big with a kitchenette, sitting area with tv and sofa, and separate bedroom area with bathroom. The bathroom was very tiny and the bed was supposed to be a queen but was a full which was kind of tight for my fiance and me. However we thought the staff was friendly, the room was so clean and comfortable and the ac worked well. I would definitely stay there again when visiting Oak Park. Also great location to walk into town for shopping and restaurants!

The hotel is a traditional, first class hotel. The rates are reasonable and the location in Oak Park offers easy access to downtown Chicago in a place where you can actually find a parking place.
I am very likely

I would definitely recommend it to friends.
