my grandma was coming into town last week for the holidays and thought i would treat her to a stay at the gold b&b. she really enjoyed it. my condo is just not big enough for having my grandma in it too. she particularly enjoyed the mattress.

• Pros: great mattresses

Enthusiastic host

As soon as I walked in the Gold Coast Guest House, I knew that we would have a lovely stay.

Sally greeted us at the door with a big smile and a contagious enthusiam for Chicago. She graciously organized tours of the river and the historic Charnley House close by.

We stayed in two rooms tastefully decorated with attention to every detail. No expense has been spared with nice linens, toiletries and a library of guidebooks and videos. Guests have convenient access to drinks and snacks at all times. Sally is a wealth of knowledge and recommended an excellent Mexican restaurant.

The sitting area is open to a beautiful ivy covered walled garden. A real retreat for the tired tourist at the end of the day!

We had a wonderful stay mostly due to our lovely host. I would recommend this B&B to anyone thinking of a trip to Chicago.

• Pros: tastefully decorated, informative host, garden retreat
