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.

Fantastic location within walking distance of Wrigley Field and many Lakeview hot spots. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of space within the suite! It's definitely not for folks who aren't used to urban street noise, although it didn't bother me at all. My ONLY "complaint" was that the room was super cold. There is a portable radiator in the living room, but even turned up all the way, it didn't warm the space up at all. I located an extra blanket in the front closet, wrapped up in that, and was warm and happy as a clam. I will definitely be returning!

The room was small, but very comfortable. Initially, I was a bit leery of the "no reception; we'll send you a code" check-in, but it went very smoothly. The code worked on all the doors it was supposed to work on, and I appreciated the triple-layer of code security - outside door, door to the floor, door to the room. Dorothy's is ideally situated, and easy walking distance to attractions in the area, in addition to the Red line train and numerous bus lines. If I had to ding Dorothy's on anything, it's this: Coffeemate isn't cream and doesn't do the same in your coffee in the morning as does half-and-half.

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.

Arrangement was just a bit odd but the room was clean and secure and the location can't be beat. My room light had a flickering bulb and the fan was too unstable to use, but everything else was acceptable. One of the showers also had pretty bad water pressure but there's 2 available showers so that wasn't a problem the 2nd time.

There was a little bit of trash left over from the last guest. In addition, the fire alarm went off before checkout. I believe the owner was trying to wake me up. There was a smart type fire alarm that you can set off with your phone.

If you're looking for something in Boys Town you could not ask for anything better, but with that comes challenges and parking and noise. There really is not parking provided but there is a parking permit available and then good luck finding parking anywhere nearby. It is a very nice facility and super clean. I thought the automated notices were a little gruff and not needed in the way they were written however they were very helpful and were very clear on the expectations. I would definitely stay here again, Even with the parking situation.
