I stayed on the 4th floor above the restaurant where a party singer made it noisy even with our 'do not disturb' sign leading to late mornings, but the room layout with a separate sitting area and sleeping area was nice. The service was excellent, with staff always at my doorstep and very friendly. The location was good, being close to downtown Oak Park, Hemingway's birth home, and convenient for commuting downtown. The dining experience at the Bistro in the hotel was top-notch, just as advertised. The facilities were good overall.

The hotel room was small, being the smallest I've ever had. The front desk was cramped, and the doors were in the way. The service was withdrawn and not effective in communication; however, they did change our room immediately, so no complaints there. The location was wonderful, allowing easy access to downtown Chicago and nearby attractions. The dining experience was excellent, except the portions were too large. Overall, the hotel offers a great location and good service despite some room size issues.

My stay at the hotel was great overall. The rooms were a little stuffy but spacious and clean, equipped with useful amenities like a fridge, sink, coffee maker, and microwave at a reasonable price compared to downtown Chicago. The service was not just friendly but also truly helpful, creating a welcoming and European-like atmosphere. The location in Oak Park was excellent, within walking distance to major attractions, and felt safe even for a solo traveler. The dining experience was as good as advertised, with fresh vegetables, and the attached restaurant served excellent food.

The hotel is ideally located, just a short walk away from downtown Oak Park and close to the Metra station for easy access to Chicago. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped with helpful amenities but the service could be more welcoming.

The hotel rooms were clean and in perfect condition, equipped with a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker, but they had a musty smell. The rooms were spacious, with an extra seating area, including a coffee maker and microwave. The location was ideally just above Scoville Park in a nice quiet neighborhood outside of downtown, making it very convenient to visit Oak Park and Chicago. The service provided was friendly, offering good hospitality in a beautiful city like Oak Park. The dining experience was as good as advertised, possibly among the top choices in town. However, there were some setbacks with nowhere to hang up a suit bag in the room and explosions nearby that could be unsettling.

The Write Inn was a bit expensive, a little over $200 per night, and the room felt like a cross between a jail cell and a college dorm. However, it had amenities like a fridge, sink, coffee maker, and microwave. The quiet nights and kind personnel made the stay enjoyable, even with accents that gave a European vibe. The location is excellent, facing a wall but just a 7-minute walk to the green line metro and in a lovely area. The dining experience was rated fairly priced and excellent. Overall, a unique experience with mixed feelings.
