My husband and I stayed 4 nights, we liked the cleanliness, the location, the value and having the option of breakfast. My only concern was the room being very small and we had to share the bathroom. But in general it was a quiet good location.

I loved everything about this place! I was a bit skeptical when I saw how inexpensive it was relative to the location (a 5 min walk to Wrigley), but it was just perfect. A 100+ yr old house in the heart of Halsted, super clean, really quiet (weekday only stay), friendly people — it checked every box. I’ll never stay anywhere but here when I come to Chicago for Cubs games.

It is a wonderful room with a comfortable bed and couch. It should be noted that the directions are complex for parking and just entering the building. Parking is extremely difficult to find. It is also a party district but we were there during the week and it was quiet. I absolutely adored the space though once settled.

First time at Dorothy's but I've stayed at her sister location so I know the owner/management and what to expect. Great location and the building is kept up very well. My only non happy comment was no dresser in this room. Its ok since this visit was just me. Being able to use a full kitchen and store food in the refrigerator is a major plus

It's a charming older house, with breakfast available in the morning (cereal, coffee, waffle machine). Not a bad location, plenty of bus stops nearby. Mention you're staying upstairs at Big Gay Sal's and get a discount.

I would stay here again. Check-in comes with very detailed instructions, and it was a breeze– easy, straightforward. The unit was kept exceptionally clean, the kitchen is pretty well-stocked for anything you might want to make, the breakfast is a great way to start each day on time, and the availability of a parking permit is wonderful. The proximity to the best bars is unmatched, and you’re on the third floor, so the street noise isn’t even that bad. My only negative marks are that there are only two bathrooms for what could be up to 8 people, the water pressure is not great, and for some reason, the climate control was set to “Fire & Brimestone” for the duration of our stay, so we had to keep the window open. Otherwise, all top marks.
