Greatest Stop in Chicago

by treasarn

We have stayed here several times and have never had a complaint. My husband and I have stayed with and without children and have always had a wonderful time. The rooms are awesome and the company just as great. My first reaction to a B&B was "oh, know way. I do not want to be with people I do not know". I am so glad that did not stop us. Kapra, Miguel and Kalena are the most gracious host. They are very informative about the city and current events. They have saved us a fortune in parking with all the little tips. Oh, I can not forget to mention the very best part--the food. Always wonderful and filling. For all the ladies out there who think their significant other would never enjoy it--start by selling him on the food first. We all know how to tip the scales in our favor!! This is a fantastic experience for everyone. You are in the heart of the city and staying in a warm and amazing place.

• Pros: Beautiful Rooms, Great Family, Close to everything
• Cons: Not enough time to do it all.

A stylish place to feel at home in the big city.

The Scene
This B&B is located in a renovated storefront on the Loop near downtown Chicago. It offers the warmth of a suburban home, as well as access to the city's museums, music venues, restaurants and major businesses. The proprietors can arrange discounted museum tickets.

The Details
Wood floors, colorful throw rugs and quilt-style bedspreads create a soothing atmosphere. Most bedrooms feature private baths and all have Internet access. The two-bedroom suite is perfect for families traveling with children, while the three-bedroom apartment, located across the street from the main inn, is perfect for small groups. Personal touches include a DVD library, complimentary coffee and tea, slippers and robes. Guests are allowed access to the kitchen. There is a rooftop deck and garden for lazing during the summer months.

caution: on-line booking

by esterxiola

This place is probably lovely, however I booked the blue room online which has bathroom facilitites in the room. I recieved a return e-mail which informed me that I was booked in a room with bathroom down the hall for the same price as the suite that included bathroom, fireplace, ect. When I wrote back they informed me that the room I booked was already reserved. So when booking on-line, make sure you are getting the room you pay for. I decided to cancel, feeling as if I was intentionally misled.
