A warm and welcoming beautiful place. The staff was outstanding; from carrying my heavy luggage up three flights to offering great places to eat to accommodating my arrival and departure. Highly recommend. With a spectacular view of the city the rooftop is not to be missed!

Awesome!
It was very clean and tidy. When we needed new towels they were there. Halfway through our stay everything was deep cleaned. The owners were extremely nice and offered a wide variety for breakfast. Any questions we had were answered quickly and effortlessly. Our room was cozy and the upstairs roof patio had a view that was beyond breathtaking. The place is close to downtown and in a good area to go anywhere in Chicago.

Perfect Stay for Couples.
It was great we stayed two nights, the breakfast was a nice add, and it's in walking distance of the zoo, so that was cool. The bed was comfortable and and they had a nice variety of sparkling water.
