Amazing property! Cooked to order breakfast, staff off the charts hospitable and friendly. The whole feel of the space is inviting and calm. My room was a cozy little respite from the city, though in a walkable neighborhood. It was home away from home. Definitely want to return.

This used to be Ray's photo studio, because he was a professional photographer. That probably wouldn't matter to most people, but I am also a professional photographer and I really enjoyed talking with Ray about birds and his travels. I really appreciated the indoor parking, and the breakfasts were very large. The staff was very friendly and helpful in explaining everything that we had access to in the building. It would be a great stop for kids because of all the games available. Loved it, and will stay there again the next time we visit Chicago!

This B&B is a gem. Loved it. It’s like staying in someone’s huge, comfortable home with a fabulous hostess. Plenty of parking, creative decor, and the huge made to order breakfast is fabulous. They have snacks, homemade baked goods and all kinds of drinks in the kitchen. They serve breakfast until 11 for late risers. Laundry, sauna, steam room. Will definitely stay again.

A very unique, fun, and accommodating place to stay. They made check-in super easy. The building was fun to explore. The breakfast was excellent! Even though they were out of parking in their garage, there was plenty of free street parking available in the area. Definitely would recommend to anyone staying in Chicago.

Unexpected Gem!

My niece and I stayed at Ray's for the Billie Eilish concert. The beds could have been more comfortable BUT the next day when we were checking out they actually had all new mattresses delivered! So that's nice! The property manager was great! The breakfast *chef's kiss*! And the free garage packing?! Come on! I felt safe, comfortable and told my bff this is where we're staying for. Our next trip to Chicago! The sauna and steam shower were nice too!

I chose Rays s it was conveniently located near my client. A B&B would never be my choice for a business trip but I feel lucky I found this place. Great accommodations. Felt like a mini vacation. I’m returning when I can.

Ashlee was here to greet me when I arrived, and you can see immediately she loves her job. The outside is misleading because it is large, well laid out and thoughtful. The owner has put so much thought into the decor you will be amazed. Breakfast is cooked to order, and 5 star quality. I would like to note they have made 1 garage allotment that will fit a suburban size vehicle. But there is ample street parking and other garages for smaller vehicles. You will see the extra touches and will put this on the list of a must stay when you are in Chicago.

We stayed at Ray’s while visiting Chicago for a concert at The Salt Shed. We’re so happy we took a chance and booked this room! The area is cute, street parking was relatively easy, the room was fun and the whole vibe was very unique and eclectic. There are so many fun accents all over the place. Breakfast was easy and very good! We will be back!
