Old Chicago Inn - Chicago

The Inn was very conveniently located near a CTA stop so it was easy for us to get around Chicago without having to rent a car. We were in town to see baseball games at Wrigley and US Cellualr Fields. The Inn had a package deal with a nearby restaurant that included the Cubs game and transporation to and from the game. The Inn is an older building but […] well-kept. Our room was very small- not even space for a chair. The queen size bed was very comforatble, but due to the small room it would have been more comforatable for 1 person. There was a shared bathroom which worked out fine. The Inn is advertised as a bed and breakfast. The breakfast was adequate, but except for a home-baked good daily, is was basically cereal, yogurt, fruit, coffee, tea and juice. My past experiences with bed and breakfasts is that there is a full hot breakfast, often of the gourmet variety. All in all, due to the convenient location and friendliness of the staff, I would stay there again, but probably in a bigger room. Læs mere

The staff person on duty was friendly and warm. and a good conversationalist. But our room was just off the common area and the bathroom was across the hallway, which meant that each trip to the bathroom was a risk that someone may be outside at breakfast or checking in. Also their was a dog in the manager's apartment (also just off the main common […] room) which barked at every movement of ours in our room or going to the bathroom or snacking at breakfast or coming in after having gone out. Breakfast only consisted of cold cereal with milk and juice and coffee, and a single warm dish. One morning was an apple crunch and the next two mornings was a bunt cake (the same one brought out the second morning as dried around the edges where the slices had been removed the day before).

Can't get a better location than this place. Close to "L", Clark, Wrigley, dining, bars, etc. Our room was in the back so it was fairly quiet. Rooms near the front may hear more street noise, but that's life in the big city. Staff was friendly and accomodating. Nice to be back in my old neighborhood and get some Penny's (thai noodle shop) for lunch. […] I'd definitely stay there again the next time in town. Læs mere

This Inn is a bed and breakfast style just 3-4 blocks from North Halstead and Belmont Avenue. Very close to the Belmond CTA stop, so a very convenient location. We were able to get in during Halsted Market Days with only a few days notice. For parking, we were given a residential parking voucher, which meant we had to find an on-street parking spot. […] We did find a spot, but it was five blocks away. Each day a new voucher must be affixed to the windshield. We were given a key to the front door. There is a no-unregistered-guest policy. A very basic continental breakfast each morning. The Room Temperature was on the chlly side -- at least not too hot. There is no thermostat in the room. Both of us received a $10 voucher for lunch at the adjoining bar and grill, with new vouchers available each day. Læs mere

The Old Chicago is a great location for a game at Wrigley Field or a visit to DePaul University. As a B&B, it is not very impressive and it could use an upgrade. We stayed in room 2A which is above the street and was fairly noisy until 4:00am on a weeknight. Bed was comfortable but the shades do not come all the way down so there is always some light […] coming into the room. Not having to pay for parking on a nearby street was a nice feature. Læs mere

WORST PLACE EVER

I stumbled upon this little bed and breakfast when i was finding it difficult to book a room at a "traditional" hotel. Hands down, best decision ever. The rooms can be a little small, but its got everything you need; including your own bathrobes! The private bathrooms aren't connected to your room, but they lock so you can store personal items in them […] - they even have a hairdryer. The building is a little older and doesn't have wireless internet throughout it, but there is an ethernet hookup in the lobby. The management is incredibly friendly and helpful. I also couldn't have asked for a better neighborhood. I wanted to stay somewhere that was easy to access (1 block walk from the train), and had local attractions (great food, incredible shopping, and the zoo!). Overall a great decision to stay here.

Stayed here primarily for location,, as well as to check out an off-beat hotel vs. a big chain. The Old Chicago Inn was indeed convenient and quirky. Room was available early, which was a big help; staff was very helpful, and continental breakfast [coffee, tea, oj, milk, cake, yogurt, granola bars and cereal] was decent. Lobby was comfy with fireplace […] and reasonable wireless. Room 3e was small, with only one window, and little heat; bathroom was especially cold. WiFi was not usable in room. Læs mere

Room so small two people could hardly pass one by one another. Bed 4' of floor with a little unsteady footstool for getting up so high. This bed was shoved against the wall so one person had to get in first and then couldn't get out without the other getting out. Did I mention the toilet in the shower stall? I'm not kidding. IN THE SHOWER STALLDid I […] mention THE STENCH we smelled as soon as the door opened. I've stayed in a lot of places but this was the worst.One light on the ceiling.cold, no coat hooks or closet. Did I mention the STENCH? Læs mere

The reason we chose the Old Chicago Inn was because it was close to our daughter's new apartment. That is also the only reason we would go back. The people who worked there and who were staying there were friendly and very nice, but our room wasn't any bigger than a large closet and in very hot weather the air conditioning was not cooling the 3rd floor, […] where our room was located. If we stay there again, I will ask many more questions about the specific room, as I understand none of them are the same. Læs mere

This hotel is an old building with lots of character. However they need to fix the floors. I stayed on the second floor and the floors squeeked with every step in the room and the hall way to the shared bathrooms. Everyone in the hotel knew everytime anyone on the second floor took a step.

Old Chicago Inn was a great place to stay. Virginia was very friendly on check in, and Jon was also great in the mornings. It is very close to Wrigley field, and the surrounding neighborhood has lots to do. (Bars, Places to eat, comedy clubs, etc.) We had a small room with a private bathroom. Everything was great. I thought it would be louder, but we […] didn't hear anyone the entire time we were there. I would fully recommend this place to anyone traveling to Wrigley for a game. I know we will be back!

Great for Wrigleyville - walk to most attractions.

Everyone was very nice and the location was great. The resturant next door that is co-owned was very good and the service was excellent. The room was very small and the bathroom was shared which we were not told about prior to walking in our room. If this is important you should confirm you get one of the few rooms with a private bath. Walking distance […] to Wrigley. Læs mere

I had read the reviews and was not dissappointed. The room I had was spacious, had satelite TV and wireless internet. Neighborhood had plenty of choices for meals and shopping. Half a block to catch the L to downtown. Free parking too. Owner was great and readily available.

Perfect location for local restaurants and shopping ... plus only a 10 minute walk to Wrigley Field for some Cubbies baseball. Stayed in the Wrigley Suite and room was in good condition for old building. Some electrical issues but staff was quick to respond. Would stay here again!

the hotel was very nice. The staff was great and very helpful. the rooms were very nice. the only problem is if your room is on the street side. It is VERY noisy. You hear all the street noise as if the windows are open. We were in room 3A very large but on street side. Will try again if in town but in a different room.

The people were great (Jon). The place 2 doors down that they own - Is awesome! The food was great. We loved it! Walking distance from Wrigley.

Te duur voor de algemene kwaliteit van het hotel. personeel heel vriendelijk.
