Welcome to The Write Inn

Our historic Inn was originally opened in 1926 as The Oak Park Manor. This architectural gem of Oak Park Ave was home to many literary figures. Poets of the era- such as Vincent Starrett- found the ambience of the hotel an excellent creative atmosphere for writing as well as relaxing. The Write Inn is a perfect tourist destination surrounded by shops- eating establishments and beautiful architecture. We also work well for the business traveler- being just 20 min from Chicago- easily accessible via the Green line train walking distance from the hotel. ...read more

Quaint decor, fantastic restaurant attached, easy 5 min walking access to the green line, and a mini kitchen.
Doorways are tiny and hard to manoeuvre with luggage, bathroom entrance had a raised floor and I stubbed my toes.

The location was perfect. The town is wonderful.
The other bed for the doubles was TERRIBLE.

This hotel was nice. It was really old fashioned and quaint. My mom and I got the room with two beds. Her bed was okay on comfort. Mine was a fold out from the wall and was horribly uncomfortable. It's good for the price. ...read more

Location - restaurant.

It was a little outdated - however, the staff personnel made up for it. They were very helpful and the restaurant staff was most efficient.

Exactly as described on reviews from priceline
Carpets in the hall were very worn. The TV's need to be replaced.

I will stay at this hotel again. The location is great, quiet, and a safe area to walk.

Good restaurants and public transportation close by. There is also a very nice library within walking distance.
This hotel is a dump.

This hotel is a dump. It is dirty and old. It has an elevator, but it is extremely slow and spooky. Hallways are dark. Carpeting is filthy. Cannot trust that bedding is clean.

The look and feel of the hotel and the staff was great.

This was a great hotel for a great price. The staff was very helpful, the rooms were a good size with good beds and bathrooms. Free parking and internet are included which really helps.

Charming & cute. Not the same old cookie cutter hotel.
Remote control for TV didn't work. Only 4-5 TV channels. Hall carpet looked dirty.

I found this hotel charming and cute, romantic. Staff were very helpful & location is excellent for shopping, restaurants & Frank Lloyd Write architecture. It being an older building, carpeting looked stained & dirty. TV was less than satisfactory (remote didn't work, even with new batteries, only 4 channels) but not too annoying for just one night. ...read more

The bathroom was marvelous!
Electronics need updated, very few TV channels, and surround sound was a tape deck!
