The Guesthouse hotel is fantastic. A home away from home! Perfect for families. Excellent customer service. If you need accommodations in Chicago, book the Guesthouse. You won't be disappointed! read more

Bedroom door is squeaky with a deep need for WD-40 and I am in deep need of sleep. The tot fell asleep at bedtime but the creaking of escaping parent woke him up and now four hours later we are still not achieving bedtime because he's playing the squeaky door as an instrument. This hotel isn't family friendly. Aside from the ridiculous door, the dressers are not properly secured for children. I guess the menu of complimentary request able goods is great but maybe the basics? read more

Exceeded all expectations! Great staff, stylish lobby, the rooms are full apartments with everything you could wish for. Huge and spacious, super clean and quiet. You can literally walk to everything on Clark Street in Andersonville. Shops, restaurants, boutiques, book stores, wine shop, etc.... I am from Chicago and was visiting. Will stay here every time now! read more

My family and I stayed there to attend my sisters memorial. it was not only lovely, but spacious! Both my brother and my son snore like a couple of freight trains! Not a problem because they just closed the door to their respective bedrooms! Jaime and the rest of the desk staff were fabulous (wish I could remember all their names) and are even mailing some clothing items we left in the dryer! Is that service or what? Great place I will take everyone to stay in when we come into town. read more

10/10 would recommend a stay at the Guesthouse Hotel, especially if you're looking for something a little more spacious or special than your average 2 queen bed hotel room. We booked a single bedroom suite for our wedding weekend, and were upgraded to a larger room free of charge. We loved having so much room to relax and prepare for our big day and the staff at the Guesthouse made us feel so welcome and special. Booking was a breeze, and all of our email correspondence before our visit was quick, easy, and accommodating. Their space is beautiful - not only the rooms, but the shared space in the lobby and the gorgeous rooftop were an added treat! We would definitely stay here again. read more

This place may have put me off of traditional hotels! What a lovely space, a home away from home with all the amenities you might need. There was one small issue during my stay that was apologized for repeatedly, including with this lovely note and bottle of wine. All is forgiven and I'll definitely be back again! read more

The Guesthouse Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Unfortunately my home flooded again and needed reconstruction Again; however I was fortunate enough to be able to stay at this place again - my second home in the city. And once again they made one of the worst times in my life one of the best, easiest, peaceful times of my life. I still believe this is the Best hotel in the city! It's beautiful, it's safe, it's extremely clean, it's in a fun location, they provide everything you could ever need and the staff are the absolute BEST - they all act like they own the hotel and treat it as such. They take such pride in their work & in their guests - be it for short-term or long-term stays. The cleaning staff is outstanding and so gracious. There's so many details that I could list but I could be here all day - you just have to stay there and experience it yourself one time and then you willl never want to stay anywhere else in the city. Thank you again to Rick, Adam, the extremely talented Paul, Loretta and of course the lovely Zoey who was so sweet to ask about my reconstruction every single night when I returned and took an genuine interest in what I was going through. Cruz & I will miss you all. read more

The Guesthouse Hotel is lovely. Me and my (now) husband had our wedding party and family stay at the hotel during our wedding weekend and everything was perfect. Rick is so helpful and went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of on our big day. One of my guests said this was the nicest hotel she had ever stayed in and I agree! The rooms were sparkling clean, gorgeous, and were stocked with everything we could have needed. During the summer the rooftop is probably lovely (too bad for the April blizzard on our wedding day). We took pictures in the lobby / club room and they turned out better than I could have imagined. We'll definitely be back and encourage everyone to stay here when they're visiting Chicago. read more

I was researching hotels for a stay with my family. My kids are a teen and college aged so we prefer to get a larger hotel room/rooms when going out of town. I wanted something more then the usual suite hotel rooms. I stumbled on this boutique hotel during my research. What a gem. We stayed in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath suite. It was basically a house. I believe the website said it was 1800 square feet. The suite was immaculate: So clean and fresh. We were all happy with what we saw when we arrived. It was soooooo roomy. So comfortable. Beds were great. More storage and closet space then you could ever even need during your stay. Even the bathroom had a huge closet. Closets on the long hallways. Full size washer and dryer as well as a full kitchen. Balcony with w table and bbq. There was a great rooftop deck. The master shower was so relaxing. All the employees we had contact with were nice and extremely helpful. The garage parking was nice to have. It was all the little details that added to it. Even down to the Beekman soaps, lotions and shampoos. This is definitely the only place we will stay on future trips. I was impressed that pricing was the same as it was going to be at the Emb*** Suites and wow there is absolutely no comparison at all. Lobby was also beautifully decorated. Highly recommend. read more

My husband, myself, and our two dogs stayed here for 3 nights while our condo was under construction. The Guesthouse is your home away from home. This boutique hotel is magnificent. Each suite is the size of a large condo and comes fully stocked with a full kitchen, washer dryer, grill, and anything you need to cook or bake. The staff is also extremely welcoming and very helpful. If your thinking about visiting Chicago and want to stay walking distance from Andersonville and Wrigley Field this is the place. We're happy to be back in our home but in the event we need a pet friendly hotel this is our #1 choice. read more

Stayed here for one night, in the 3 bedroom 2 bathroom suite. Staff was very helpful and friendly checking in. Rooms were clean and very spacious. Loved the decor and the master bath was very very nice. Loved that they had eye solution and other items for free in the lobby ( in case you forgot it) hate feeling overcharged on every little thing. The kitchen was fully stocked. I would highly recommend this hotel and will stay here again if in the area. read more

I cannot say enough about this place, and will definitely be staying here every time I'm in Chicago. Hotel stays - whether for work or pleasure - are typically exhausting and stressful to me. However, the Guesthouse feels like a home away from home. The staff is pleasant and unobtrusive, and the fully appointed units are basically apartments. Even though we didn't cook during our stay, the kitchen, with a full size refrigerator and real coffee maker, was such a plus, allowing us to relax with coffee in the mornings and store/reheat leftovers from local restaurants. Such a nice alternative to the touristy, typical hotels downtown! read more

I had the chance to have my second stay during January 2021. Staff was very great in responding to needs and providing items I needed for the room. The space was clean, and my guests felt very safe. Looking forward to visit 3! read more

I would 100% recommend The Guesthouse for anyone looking for an extended stay or even for a couple of nights. Gorgeous hotel, friendly staff and DOG FRIENDLY! My wife and I had a destination wedding and wanted to host a small local gathering for friends that could not make the trip. The staff was completely accommodating to our request of 12 visitors and hauling up decorations, food, etc. Truly a home away from home experience. Fully furnished, kitchen stocked with silverware, glassware, full fridge, stove and small kitchen appliances. Can't say enough good things about the hotel, staff and our experience. read more

Blown away!!! A fantastic check-in experience. Room is utterly amazing. I don't think I will ever stay in any other hotel in Chicago if I can avoid it. Not centrally located, but it feels great to get out of the downtown and feel part of the neighborhoods. read more

I wanted to like this hotel. It's very quaint and in a great area, the lobby is welcoming, warm, and cozy with a library and comfy couches. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The rooms, upon first entry, are very nice. But after about 20 minutes into our stay, we began experiencing issues... To start, a nonstop-barking dog on our floor a few rooms down was incessant. I love dogs, but apparently the thin walls were not enough to have a peaceful room. I appreciate a hotel allowing dogs, but if they do, there should be decent sound absorption to ensure the dogless guests have a quiet stay. Upon complaining, were given a new room on another floor. It was much quieter. The room was a 2/2. However, there were still more issues. Only one burned on the stove appeared to work, and filled the room with the smell of gas. The air circulation in the bedroom was poor, and there was no fan. As I tried to sleep both nights, I heard lots of odd thumps going on in the ceiling/walls (plumbing perhaps?) which made sleep difficult. The inside shower curtain in my bathroom was stained and dirty, appearing as though the housekeeping staff did not properly clean it. I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, I did not truly enjoy my stay and would not recommend this place. read more

After reflection I do not feel this is a dog friendly nor family friendly establishment. I stayed here over the Memorial Day holiday in 2018. I booked my stay in January of 2018 in anticipation for my sisters wedding, bringing my family and dogs in tow. The room we were assigned was directly next to the elevator and the hotel offered no sound proofing. Each time I left the room I received multiple phone calls about my dogs, not once was a room move offered. After my third night of phone calls we ( my family) decided to move hotels. We were charged for that night, along with the full security deposit ( for a spill that was cleaned) and had to call/ send multiple emails to get our last night refunded. We experienced other parking and unruly guest issues with this hotel. I will never return back. I only wish for other dog and family travelers to be aware. read more

I live in the neighborhood and recommended this place to my family coming for a visit. There are not many options for hotels in the area. They used to stay downtown and paid too much for a little space. At guesthouse, you basically have a condo. My family came back again and booked there without any hesitation. This time for the three bedroom since everyone came to join. They loved that it felt like their own home. Andersonville has a lot of great shops and restaurants to explore that are in walking distance. If you don't want to walk, then don't worry. Cabs are always driving up and down Clark St. read more

Wonderful space, beautifully decorated, hospitable staff. The Guesthouse Hotel was perfect for an afternoon tea with friends. Tea service includes tea, croissants, French macarons & more. Plenty of delicious food to be incredibly full at the end of tea! We made reservations for 7 and all of us really enjoyed the tea service. The price is low in comparison to other tea services around the city. Tea service at the Guesthouse Hotel is highly recommended! read more

Absolutely gorgeous hotel in Andersonville with balcony, individual parking garages and lots of extra amenities. Extremely clean all throughout the hotel and the staff was very helpful and kind! I would love to come back & stay again! read more

Surprisingly beautiful and amazing place. Boss is as perfect as the place. I went with my husband n 2 kids, 2yrs n 4 yrs. The owner saw us come in late in da night and gave us an awesome upgrade. Totally loved the suite. Thank you. read more

Fantastic. Had my parents stay here during one of their visits and I can't say enough wonderful things. It's definitely a home away from home. Ideal for people looking to stay for an extended period of time. read more

place is a good choice. my husband and i real happy. quaintness an added plus. rooms fresh and obviously very well sparkling clean.

We've stayed at many great, bigger name hotels in Chicago and this is without a doubt the best place we've stayed. The check-in, check-out process is convenient and everyone was pleasant and helpful. We had a spacious three bedroom suite that was completely updated and comfortable. The neighborhood is cute with plenty of food options. We had easy access to Lake Shore Drive and in non covid times, fun music venues. We will definitely be back! read more

I enjoyed my stay. Everyone at the desk was accommodating and hospitable. Special mention to Rick. read more

I recently hosted my birthday party at the Hotel with their Afternoon Tea Party offering. It was simply a wonderful experience. The General Manager was so kind and responsive throughout the planning process, even taking time to recommend places to purchase unique decorations. When we arrived, the library was already set up with perfect menu cards on each plate. We played Spotify through the library's built in speakers. The service was incredible and the attention to detail was quite frankly unmatched in any other hotel I've been in in the city. What a gorgeous back drop for my birthday! I highly recommend the tea as it is very affordable and the food is excellent. read more

We hosted my wife's wedding shower at The Guesthouse. It couldn't have been better! The first floor space is very comfortable, with a chic but historic feel to it. You have the ability to keep things open or separate them off. While it was a bit chilly, we also had access to the awesome roof with breathtaking views. The staff made everything very easy, connecting us with local vendors and making sure everything went off without a snag. We highly recommend The Guesthouse for both events and the rooms are nicer than any apartment I've lived in! read more

This is the best place by far we have ever stayed in Chicago. Private garage parking and a full kitchen. We will definitely stay here again.

Absolutely the BEST! I lived on the northside of Chicago for ten years. In those ten years, as family or friends came to visit and needed hotel recommendations I always thought to myself "why are there no great hotels in the northside neighborhoods!?" WHY is everything downtown? I don't want to go downtown! The character is in the hoods! Now this was before Airbnb made the wider area more accessible for travelers enjoying Chicago, but seriously The Guesthouse Hotel has filled a niche sorely needed in Chicago forever -- and they are doing it SO SO RIGHT. I only wish I had acted first because its brilliant. Bravo, Guesthouse Hotel, bravo! I scored an amazing end of "winter" deal late April 2016 (and in that week it swung from 80 degrees to 40 degrees, so I feel the winter tagline was appropriate) for about $200/night for a gorgeous 2BR/2BA apartment. These are not hotel rooms, they are proper condos. And particularly when staying for 6 nights as I did, it was nice to have some space and feel like I was at home. My mother joined me for part of the trip and we each had our own luxurious bed (seriously, I might track down the bedding/mattress/pillow makers) and bathroom. The kitchen was decked out, the living room extremely comfortable and though I didn't use the balcony, it was there. The biggest perk for me though? The full-size high tech washer and dryer. Oh heavens, I've lived in the UK for too long (no dryers) -- it was an absolute pleasure to do my laundry. I think I did it almost every night. Because I could! I loved it! The room was spotless, pristine and well outfitted. Zero faults to be found, these rooms are top notch. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the lobby is gorgeous and welcoming (I spent a few hours working from the lobby and having a few cups of tea) and the location is excellent. Just a stone's throw from lively Andersonville but also very near Uptown/Wrigleyville/Ravenswood, etc. It's on a quiet stretch (for now) of Clark Street, so walking out onto the street is chill, no craziness like trying to get in or out of a taxi downtown. This is literally just so easy. Committed to local -- very nice selection of local products available to purchase in both the lobby AND the room. I indulged in some cookies, coffee and oatmeal, smartly placed! I also scored some shades and Chicago flag rose gold earrings in the lobby -- impulse purchase yes, but I really like them. It's gorgeous, spacious, and felt like home for the week I was there. They do long term corporate apartment rentals, are kid and dog friendly and have a great thing going. If you are trying to avoid downtown on your next visit to Chicago (I think you should) -- this is your place, check it out. As its not a big mega chain hotel their cancellation policies are a bit more stringent -- do check them out before you book. Was not an issue for me, but worth understanding. It's very clearly explained via the booking process. I want to stay here again! Send me back please! *private parking available for extra charge ($20/night). Street parking very easy but mostly metered up and down Clark. *check for specials on their deals page. *Mariano's grocery store within .5 miles -- though its a pretty long walk, I suggest either drive or taxi. *Kitchen is equipped for cooking very easily, we made most of our meals that week and cooked dinner for friends. Everything we needed was there -- though not the cooking essentials like salt, butter, oil, etc. A starter pack of these items would be great - that's my only recommendation! (I hate buying a huge thing of salt when I need it for about 2 seconds). *Super easy/free wifi access. read more

This is a looong overdue review: Guesthouse was THE PERFECT place to host my bridal shower. The space is gorgeous and spacious the food and drink were perfect! Everyone loved the mimosa bar and could not stop talking about how beautiful everything was. They helped make my day perfect and I can't thank them enough!! read more

The Guesthouse gets all the details right. The rooms are essentially new yuppie condos, so it really doesn't feel like you're staying in a hotel. The kitchen is well-stocked with equipment, and there's a grill on the balcony. Everyone on staff is friendly and helpful. The rooftop decks are beautiful; I wish they were open past 9 p.m. The library has hundreds of books you can borrow. It was fascinating to browse. It's a highbrow collection with many scholarly books on a wide range of topics, and quite a few first editions. One of the staff members told me it was the library of one of the owners' parents, who obviously had a healthy intellectual curiosity. The surrounding neighborhood is pretty, and I saw parents pushing strollers and walking with their kids at 9 p.m. I chose the Guesthouse because of its proximity to a client I was visiting, but I'd go out of my way to stay here. read more

Spent two full months staying at The Guesthouse while our condo was under construction and we could not have had a better experience. The staff was always super friendly and accommodating even when we had to keep extending our stay week by week as the project at home got delayed. We had our dog and 4 month old baby with us as well so it was a relief to find a place that was so friendly to both pets and babies as they had everything we needed on hand from cribs, rockers, jumpers, high chairs, bath supplies, dog beds, bowls etc. We were incredibly thankful the "rooms" are really two bed/two bath apartments so we had a space that felt like home. Andersonville is a great neighborhood that we enjoyed exploring while staying there, the hotel is a few minute walk to a ton of bars, restaurants, and shops. We were able to get to a Cubs game during our stay as well that was a quick uber ride to the game and about a 30-40 minute walk back afterwards. Getting to downtown is an easy drive or cab down Lake Shore that at most times is under 20 minutes as well. I would highly recommend the Guesthouse for a quick or extended stay and if you are traveling with a family or pets then it is a no brainer, don't even consider staying elsewhere. read more

Nice hotel - more like an apartment within a hotel. Front desk staff were excellent. I stayed there with friends for a conference and it was quite a distance to travel each day to McCormick Place. There's a great jazz bar down the street - Green Mills - very cool place. No restaurant at hotel but many nearby. read more

This is an exceptional hotel. The rooms are fully furnished vacation suites. They are "move in" ready with all convinces of home and amenities of hotel. Roof deck and garage parking awesome extras as was boutique shop in lobby. Greeted with warm cookies on check in. Rooms were super comfy and friendly hotel staff. Close to beaches and local restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend. read more

The 3 bedroom was perfect. It felt like we were staying in an apartment rather than an hotel. Great location. Loved the available parking. This will be my place for future visits to Chicago. Highly recommend, especially if you have a family. read more

We loved our time at The Guesthouse Hotel! We needed a place to stay for approx 2 weeks during renovations. With two kids, a standard hotel room wasn't an option which led us here. It was perfect! It lives like a condo, close to all Andersonville's hot spots, and the staff is very friendly (especially the manager, Rick). Highly recommend! read more

Great place. It felt like being at home but better. We had 3 different families staying in different condo's and they were all lovely. Staff was terrific and was always there to help in any way. read more

Cannot say enough about The Guesthouse Hotel. We loved our stay in Chicago mostly because of our great accommodations. So clean and comfortable. Convenient to so much. We walked to Wrigley Field to see the Cubs win. The restaurants and shops on Clark Street provide all you need. Close to the Lake Shore and the El. Additional plusses were being pet friendly and a garage for an extra fee. Well be back for sure. read more

Welcome to The Guesthouse Hotel, the only hotel that proved that bigger is not alway better and that looks can deceive you. Upon my arrival to the hotel, I was a little creeped out because of its location across from a cemetery. However, the stay itself was one that I will never forget. The staff members are helpful and easy to talk to. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a spacious full kitchen and living room area. And there are so many things to do during the days like go to restaurants in the vicinity, catch the train, and walk around the residential neighborhoods that are quaint and lovely. Overall, I had a great stay at the Guesthouse Hotel and would love to go back there any day. I highly recommend over a "regular hotel" read more
