Nice place and close to downtown and the fox river. The hotel is old but nice and very comfortable. I would stay again. Price is good and looked like the food and bar areas are nice. This area would be a romantic area for a couples get away. Arcada Theatre right across the river and is a good place for entertainment.

I'm currently here at Hotel Baker and completely disappointed. Apparently there was a wedding & reception scheduled tonight...and the hotel staff stuck us on the 2nd floor where we can hear the DJ to the point we could sing the songs!!! We had to sign a "no party" contract saying we'll be quiet, but we have to listen to this until midnight!!
The bathroom is tiny with a super tiny tub. The remotes for the tv will only let you change the channel but won't turn the tv on or off.
I was really hoping to find a "place" that was ours - me & my boyfriends. A place that neither one of us had ever been to, but one we would fall in love with. Hotel Baker is definitely NOT going to be it!!!!

I was in a wedding at Hotel Baker this fall and the service was horrific. Not only were the staff unprofessional but also inconsiderate. This example was the final straw in a long line of unprofessional and inconsiderate behavior on the part of the staff at Hotel Baker: As a bridesmaid we were told that we could keep up bags in a conference room during the wedding(which we sat in for 3 hours before the wedding began), after the ceremony, during the time when the bridesmaids should be taking pictures,the wedding coordinator told us that we needed to move all our stuff. In response to my question of "where should we put it all?" was the answer "I don't know but it needs to be out of that room." I went and complained to the manager who also was difficult to work with because of her lack of knowledge on the wedding. Worst wedding experience of my life! I would never recommend anyone to have their special day at a place where they obvioulsy don't care about their customers.

I had my wedding at the Hotel Baker on 10-10-10 which is quite a busy weekend for St. Charles since that was the weekend of Scarecrow Festival. But the hotel was super accomodating for as busy as they were. They helped especially with unloading of our older guest in front of the hotel and the parking was only down the street and was not a huge inconvienence at all. Our wedding was wonderful every detail was absoulutely perfect...our wedding planner which I got two weeks before our wedding since my original planner had resigned made sure that eveything was perfect from the table decor to the dinner. I have only rave reviews....I have had many of our guests tell us that is was the best wedding that they have even been to. If you are planning a wedding ....have it here you will not regret it and the Rainbow Room is just fantastic.
We recently celebrated our 1st Anniversary and have had our 1 year old cake and it was still fabulous. I think I am one of the only couple's that I know that enjoyed their cake a year later. We also went back to the hotel to celebrate our anniversary....and it was wonderful!! My husband and I plan to go back every year to celebrate our anniversary. The staff the was part of our wedding was absolutely fabulous and we cannot thank enough for the memories that I will have for a lifetime.
