I hope not to stay in another hotel in Chicago again. The Publishing House is just that charming…read moreand wonderful. The rooms have everything I want: a place to hang my clothes, shelves to put my things, a desk to work upon, an easy to connect to bluetooth speaker, nice bath products, and a comfy bed with great sheets. There's a closet with clothing steamers (a must have hotel item for me!), irons and DISTILLED WATER. Anyone who is serious about steaming uses distilled water to do it. (Thank you for knowing this, Publishing House!) I went directly to this closet to get myself a steamer! There's a kitchen where you can make yourself a pot of tea (or coffee) any time, a fridge you can put your food in, and a beautifully appointed living room that you can hang out in (with, or without, your friends). I don't usually eat breakfast but the breakfast (included in your stay!) is too good to pass up! Glorious cooked breakfasts plus fruit, granola, yogurt, and homemade baked goods. The staff is made up of talented and attractive staff who are also kind and helpful. The Publishing House is my dream come true. If I could find a place like it in New York, Toronto, and LA I'd be 10X happier to travel to those cities.

Heavenly Loft B&B. My husband and I stayed at the Publishing House for four wonderful nights…read more Our room, the Carmen, was even better than shown in photos. Quiet, exquisitely comfortable bed, spotlessly clean and uniquely decorated (in all the right ways). We felt like we were guests in the amazing home of a contemporary art collector. The pantry was a treat for quick snacks and refrigerator space. Breakfasts were inventive, delicious and health conscious. The "public" areas were spacious enough to share with other guests easily, nothing like a hotel lobby lounge. The hosts were great with communicating check-in and checkout, as well as friendly tips about the front door during a humid weekend. The list of restaurants and local shops was beyond useful. We also enjoyed happy hour in the affiliated restaurant below. This was our first trip to Chicago in a long time, we had such a good time, we'll be back in the fall and the Publishing House B&B will be our first choice to stay.

When I booked the room it said that it included free private parking at the location... less then 24hrs hours before check in I get an email stating ( there are 3 parking spots that's first come first serve and parking on road in front of house) ok well that should be put on the description before u book the hotel cause I would've never booked with them if I'd known u had to park over 2 miles from the hotel... We got their at 3:11pm check in was 3pm - we got there and no parking for over 2 miles away from house on the side of a road in a sketchy area... We had no way of knowing about this until we arrived because their description was a lie and not detailed enough... They didn't say they had 6 rooms but only 3 parking spaces... We had 2 large suitcases, a large duffel bag. And a large cooler that they expected us to walk over 2 miles with to the house to check in... We never made it in the building - after about a half hour of calling and messaging with no response from owners we left to book another hotel over 20 minutes further and at another 200.00 in costs... we had no way to cancel the room backseat we couldn't get ahold of anyone so they said because we didn't cancel they are kept 80.00 of the 94.05 we paid to book the room stating well we said parking was first come first serve.... YEAH LESS THEN 24HRS BEFORE OUR RESERVATION WHEN IT WAS ALREADY TO LATE TO CANCEL THE ROOM.... SCAM SCAM SCAM WITH NO RESPONSE OWNERS STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOUSE - It completely ruined me from ever staying at a bed and breakfast and definitely check out all their other bad reviews...

There's a warmth here. And that's something even the snazziest of hotels can't promise. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy bougie hotels too, but this place has a story. The dry sauna and steam room were more than enough comfort, and while we couldn't enjoy the roof deck due to storms, it looked like the perfect place to chill. Our room was spotless, we had plenty of space, and the jacuzzi tub was the cherry on top. Breakfast is included, and the food from that kitchen was stellar. They had an entire separate vegan menu. I was super into the local kombucha and fermented hot sauce options, and the vegan French toast and tofu scramble were spot on. There are always snacks and beverages available around the clock, too. So fear not, my fellow snackers. As far as the vibe, let's just say the founder must have made randomness their full-time job. There is art all over the place, plus collections of all shapes and sizes. Two dozen antique cameras? Got it. 15 or so vintage thermoses on a shelf? Yep. Rock collections, statues, maps, and more? There is just stuff to look at EVERYWHERE. And I mean that in the best way possible. My wife booked us a little one-night getaway, and Ashley and the team made the whole thing a treat. Smooth sailing from start to finish, friendly, accommodating, and the room was our cozy little home away from home, even if only for a night. Completely walkable to all kinds of fun and shopping. Zero complaints. I can't say I've been to a place like Ray's before. It's a community. Just check the common rooms where you'll find board games, books about art and the neighborhood, and people just chilling out. It's unique, and we need more uniqueness these days. Ray's is the kind of place I love to recommend. Anyone can grab a hotel, but this type of visit is something much more memorable.

Very friendly staff and a quirky vibe - perfect for people who want something more relaxed. Breakfast is included and you order off a menu they give you. Very good! They also have free snacks! We were in the Skylight Room which I liked - access to the roof deck, felt pretty private. You do hear the kitchen though I. The morning, but there is an additional door to close if needed. It's sort of like staying at a friend's house great for those who want to be in a classic Chicago neighborhood instead of downtown. Would recommend!

The mansion is stunningly beautiful and the ambiance transported us far from the daily grind. Breakfasts exceeded expectations. Snacks, including homemade banana nut bread, and a large variety of beverages are always available. HVAC and shower temperatures could have been better but those issues pale in comparison to the total experience. The mansion was built in the 1870's so retrofitting can't be perfect. Our stay, however, was close to perfect. The location of the villa could not be better for exploring Chicago away from downtown shopping districts. We will return. Highly recommended!

It has been updated and featured beautiful furnishings and artwork. Don, who is the owner, was a gracious and proud host. He makes the check-in process easy and sends guests daily updates via text.. Although a continental breakfast was provided each day, a cook prepared breakfast tacos and tortillas our first two mornings. Both were very tasty. The kitchen is available around the clock if you want to make a panni sandwich. They also had housemade lasagna in the refrigerator for a quick 2-minute reheating in the microwave. Our charming unit is probably one of the smallest in the building, but it was perfect for us, as we were visiting relatives nearby. It included a bed, desk, bath and fireplace. It did have an outdoor patio and direct access to the complex's hot tub. The unit's shower is in the hallway near the front door, not in the bath itself. That was odd, but we made it work. Staying in late February, our $189 night rate was extremely fair for what we received. We plan to return soon.

Clean, comfy and convenient…read more The owner is nice and accommodating and it's more like you're staying at a good friends house than some big dirty hotel. You get a section of the house all to yourself. Includes a living room, bathroom and bedroom. I stayed here with my mom when she came to visit. The bed was SO comfortable. Theres also a fridge with free water bottles and snacks in the room. Free wifi. My only complaint about this was the bedroom and bathroom locks are old and don't actually lock. You have a section of the house to yourself but I'd still like a bathroom door that locks since its in the hallway. I'd stay here again. Close to the L train, shops and food. And is clean and comfy!

I stayed at this hotel because I was attending two events nearby. The first was a concert at Joe's…read moreon Weed Street and the second was a competition at a night club. This was fairly close to the bus that I took to both. The room was okay, the bed was okay and the service was good. I only really had time to nap and sleep there. Nearby to the bus from Union Station and walking distance to the strip on Halsted. Had a dining reception area but I didn't utilize it. There was a print out of nearby restaurants and a grocery store was nearby. Baseball theme in decor and marketing. Generously stocked mini bar if you want to purchase snacks or alcohol, not for me but an option. No room for takeout so plan ahead. My room only had a view of other rooms which was fine but if you want a view be aware. I came back quite late but a quick call to reception at the door will get you in. I would return.

Consequently did not get one good night's sleep - woke up at least six or seven times a night. The room was clean, but a bit run down: The glass bricks in the shower were cracked and roughly repaired, tub stained, tiles in the floor cracked. Paint on my red door chipped white in many places. Mattress was old and soft, the one chair in the room uncomfortable. Weird thing where you have to ask the front desk to have your room serviced - I travel extensively all over the world and never experienced that, but okay, I guess it saves them money and is easier to organize. Also, just FYI for those who have a car, finding a parking spot is almost impossible. Day staff were very nice, night staff a bit indifferent, but accommodating. Probably won't stay again, price not up to the experience.

I stayed here while I was in town for a conference at Depaul University. It was the closest Hilton…read moreproperty to where I needed to be! I arrived via Uber, so I can't speak to the parking situation. The entryway and lobby are incredibly nice, with modern & colorful artwork! There is a restaurant in the lobby that was pretty active. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and helpful during my stay! Based on these facts, I'd say this spot has great future potential. The elevator was broken during my stay, which was fairly inconvenient given that I was on the fourth floor but I was occasionally offered access to the freight elevator by the desk staff. The rooms were very dated, quite tight, and not in the best shape...peeling paint on the ceilings, old tile in the bathrooms, and minimal vanity space for storing items. There was a note stating that rooms were under renovation, but given similar notes in reviews from year's past, I'm not sure how quickly they are actually renovating the rooms. It was nice that there were plenty of coffeeshops very close by, since they don't offer breakfast currently. All in all, I would say hold off on booking here until they get further along in their renovation plans, unless staying at a Hilton property in this neighborhood is a necessity.

Love this place. I don't even know how I found this hotel. Other than that I was looking for hotels…read morein the Wrigleyville area. This was also the very first bed-and-breakfast I've ever stayed in my life. I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel, and will absolutely stay here again... I think I got lucky with my room 3A because it was huge and one of my buddies had a room on the first floor and it was a tiny room. Another buddy of mine stayed in 2A and he had a huge room as well. You have your own private separate bathroom that you can lock and on the third floor there is kind of a meeting area and quiet time starts at 11 PM. They offer a ton of boardgames. If you have a group of people as well as there is a group refrigerator. We all had a chance to visit the speakeasy in the basement and it was so cool and the history of this place really blew me away. The guy at the front desk was really cool and friendly. This hotel is it within walking distance of anything you can imagine in Wrigleyville and there's a small very continental breakfast in the morning which is basically a couple pastries, coffee, orange juice, and hard boiled eggs. Again, I think I paid well under $200 here a night, and it was totally worth it and I plan to come back as long as I can stay in room 3A or 2A.

I would avoid this place if you can. On this company's website they talk about old fashioned…read morehospitality..that's exactly everything they don't have. From the beginning upon arrival they have electronic door handle to enter. Ringing the doorbell they just ignore and calling them you'll be charged $35 a min for phone support. Give me a break. The woman who runs this place has a very arrogant entitled tone. She will send 20 different emails and texts with spam crap after you book the room. Good luck keeping it all straight. It's freezing the codes not working and she wants money to talk to her on the phone just to get into the room you've already paid for??? Wow that's some seriously entitled attitude. I finally get in after 50 different steps like an easter egg hunt. Different keys that aren't labeled for bathroom and bedroom. Keys are in a lock box that you need another code to get into. When I did finally get ahold of the "inn keeper" more old fashioned hospitality she rudely tells me that the directions are in one the lengthy emails she sent. She just couldn't be bothered to due her job and actually check people inn. But she instead sent me 50 different emails. The beds are squeaky with big dips, indents and broken springs. Extremely uncomfortable. Their useful life probably ended 10 years ago but she obviously doesn't care to replace them. The bathroom that was in my room was clearly a total afterthought added to the room. The quality of the work done is that of extremely unskilled no experience home owner special. Definitely not done up to code and barely functional. looked janky and done super cheap, probably by someone who doesn't even own a tape measurer. After I checked out the hotel owner tried to scam me out of an additional $70 more dollars for a robe she says was in my room. This hotel has those $ 50 cent gym towels not actual bath towels let alone a bath robe. Strange I stayed here twice and neither time was there a bath robe in the room. SCAM alert when I tried to stay here I booked the room for one price it was paid for but when I tried to check in the hotel completely cat fished and up'd the price claiming it was the websites error. I don't think it was an error, But once you book it seems super shady to change that price after. But shady is this hotels middle name. I really don't have anything good to say about this place, except for maybe its location.
