House 5863, Chicago

This B&B is a really cool concept. It is very convenient to restaurants and the L. Our room was nice, and it had a big window that looked out onto the street. The only downfall of this place was that both our towels and sheets had spots all over them. I don't doubt that they were clean but still spotty. I'd rather not pay $200 a night for a room that has dirty looking sheets. We would love to come back, but I hope we don't have to sleep on the blanket that we brought next time.

Great price, friendly staff and extremely clean throughout the bed & breakfast. Would definitely recommend it to everyone. Comfortable room and perfect location,close to everything!

We generally use Hotwire wherever we go, but the weekend we wanted to spend in Chicago was a prime one - so all downtown hotel rates near the loop or Miracle Mile were in the $250 to $350 range. Our alternative was to locate a more affordable B&B a little north of the downtown area and take the L into town. This place was perfect for our needs. Affordable, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The amnenities were great - the free computer and printer was very handy for helping us pick out downtown restaurants and routes. I also noticed there was a strong wireless connection throughout the facility. The large plasma TV came in handy for College Football viewing on Saturday. The refrigerator was even stocked with anything you could want - lowfat milk, fresh fruit, pastries, colas, water, juice... even beer! It was really wonderful. Additionally, there were eggs should you want to cook yourself a fuller breakfast. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms themselves were stylish - each had its own plasma TV. The bathrooms were clean and had good water pressure. The owner was very helpful - but also knew the perfect times to be around so as not to make you feel he was watching over you. He did a great job. All in all it was a wonderful place to stay and I'd recommend it to anyone traveling to Chicago.

Clean, comfortable and quiet in a nice, safe neighborhood. An easy 15 minute walk to the Thorndale metro station. Located on the north side of the City; downtown Chicago is about 30 minutes by metro. Nice public area with widescreen TV and free internet access (computer and printer available). Complimentary water, juice & sodas. Continental breakfast included croissants and fresh fruit. Across the street from a well-maintained high school. Free parking was available on the street (in June), but might be harder when school is in session. Although our room (#2) didn't have an in-suite bathroom, it had a very large private bathroom across the hall (robes are provided). I believe the other rooms have in-suite baths. Excellent value. Would definitely stay here again.
