As others have highlighted, the hotel is old, but quaint. One of two elevators worked. The place has a lot of charm because it is historic. This hotel would have 2 stars out of 5 overall. It isn't close to a Holiday Inn Express and not as clean as a Courtyard by Marriott. But for the web discounted price and... more

This is not the Ritz. It's an old hotel with a lot of charm, reminiscent of European inns. The rooms aren't perfect (our suite had two bathrooms: one with a tub, one with a toilet and sink) plus the murphy bed blocked the walkway when opened up. BUT, it is a beautifully historical hotel with a lot of character and... more

Found and booked the room on Priceline, only affordable hotel I could find near downtown Chicago and it was perfect. Two blocks from the train station in beautiful Oak Park and a half hour train ride into the city. I took a walking tour after my business meetings and it is a great neighborhood with a lot of historical landmarks.... more

i was amazed by some of the reviews on here, this is an adorable little hotel! If you're looking for an uber modern hotel that will wait on you hand and foot, this isn't the place for you. This is a vintage building (which results in some of it looking a bit tired) that has enormous amounts of charm! The... more

This is a hotel that you are going to love or hate, depending on your expectations. It met mine and was clean and comfortable (no sign of bedbugs mentioned in other reviews thank goodness!) and I really loved being able to discover an area of Chicago I had not seen before. I paid a very reasonable $90 a night and... more

From the moment we checked into the Write Inn, I realized that we had made a mistake! Although the location is pleasant, the hallways are gloomy and dirty. Paint is chipped everywhere. The room was dark and depressing. We had traveled to Oak Park for one night to visit a friend who is very ill. We were willing to walk... more

The room had bedbugs and they still want to charge me for the room! more

After staying 3 nights we had a wonderful time and will definitely book this place again. The room is small and cozy with a certain amount of antique charm. Only problems we had were with a door lock that took a certain amount of finesse to get into, and the front office personnel were distracted and not very informative of... more

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and were very disappointed. The staff were very friendly and helpful but the hotel is dirty, very small rooms, no coffee maker in the room. We asked if we could use the hotel safe so they offered us another room with an in-room safe but it was no better than the... more
