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!

First, they made me put a $350 deposit down and told me that if I did not cancel at the 2 weeks to go time point I would then be liable for the cost of my full stay if they did not fill the room. Then, I learned from reviews, and after my wife talked to the owner, that the "breakfast" part of the deal was not quite the B&B experience I'm used to. It's more like a continental set-up with like hot scrambled eggs. Not the home-cooked interesting breakfast items served by the house, different items each day. This was not disclosed to me when I called to make the reservation. Then, when I decided to cancel (mainly for those reasons), 3 weeks out from my date, the house withheld $50 of my $350. This was not disclosed to me when I called to make the reservation. The lady said it was on the "small print" of the email, and indeed it was. BAD PRACTICE! Maybe if you are a frequent visitor and you've enjoyed your stay, great. If you're coming from out of town and never went there, consider these practices. NOT GOOD.

And, the room didn't have dark, blackout curtains, so the room was bright at 5:30 a.m. Lastly, the pillows seemed too thin and wornout.

This is supposedly a luxurious hotel, but the room we received looked nothing like what was advertised online. Moreover, the cleanliness was extremely disappointing. The room was not properly dusted or cleaned, the couch looked dirty and worn, and the overall condition made the space feel neglected. The restroom was also very small and uncomfortable to use, especially considering we booked a Junior Suite expecting more space and comfort. Furthermore, the bed frame was broken, which made the bed feel unstable and poorly maintained. This is something that should absolutely be checked before guests arrive. In addition, the customer service was awful. We asked multiple times for additional bedding, including blankets and sheets, and never received them. Requests seemed to be ignored, which only made the experience more frustrating. Moreover, we even went to the front desk and told the clerk that we were not satisfied with our room. Despite explaining the issues we experienced, they did not offer any compensation, solution, or even attempt to make the situation right. The only positive part of my stay was the valet service. They were the one team that actually provided good service and professionalism. Overall, I booked the Junior Suite expecting a comfortable and enjoyable stay at what is supposed to be a luxury hotel, but unfortunately I did not enjoy my stay at all. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this hotel.

I am a Google Guide Level 7, with 3,500 contributions and over 30,000 views, a TripAdvisor member since 2007 with 1,000 contributions, and a Yelp Black badge contributor since 2008. I take reviews and paying it forward to my fellow travelers very seriously. Despite my best efforts to get my $24.86 deposit refunded to me, I have received nothing (but lip service) from the hotel group. The hotel outsources their reservations department though a 3rd party. On July 10, I made my reservation for an April 2027 arrival over the phone and was advised that the deposit would be refunded if cancelled 3 days before the date of arrival. After reading the reviews in depth, two days later, on July 12, I cancelled my reservation. In that phone call, I was provided a "Support ticket" number and was advised that the refund of my deposit will be credited within 15 days. After not receiving the refund, and numerous follow-up phone calls to their customer service line, and 15 days after cancelling the reservation, on July 27, I emailed Liz Grantham | Regional Product Manager, hotels1.hotelplanner.com | Liz.Grantham@lodging.support requesting the status of the refund. On July 28 I received the following text....." Your hotel reservation (Xxxxxx) refund in the amount of $24.86 has been processed today. Please allow 2-10 business days for this to be visible to you." As of today, August 17, I have not received the credit from the hotel, nor heard from the hotel or their outsourced reservations support group. Fortunately, after filing a dispute with my credit card company, the bank accepted my dispute and issued the measly $24.86 credit to my credit card account.

We ate at the Turkish place and the Vietnamese place - both very good. A note to anyone who books #3. Make sure that you are comfortable with 2 flights of steep stairs. Make sure you know how to reboot a WIFI. And, ask about the A/C which must be on some sort of preprogrammed setting. We happened to be there when it was quite hot, so we had to often set the A/C to manual to cool off. This condo was a great home base for our 4 day weekend.
