My husband and I just returned from spending five days (four nights) in Chicago visiting our son who lives in the neighborhood. The Old Chicago Inn was perfect for our needs. The room, 2C, was very small but it was nicely furnished, had a very comfortable queen bed, and had a huge closet. We had a private bath across the... More

I have stayed here many times. I am always struck by the warmth and efficiency of the b&b keepers. I had a delicious hamburger on my food chit. Breakfast was fabulous, an egg souffle with bacon and home made breakfast cake. Remember that there are stairs and be sure to specify your own bath if you are not inclined to... More

I have stayed at various bed and breakfast, a lot of times it is gamble as to what you will find. I have been impressed and pleased several times, but not in this case.

We had a nice room, very small but clean. The location was near public transport, they provide a neighborhood parking pass and you do have to search for a parking spot. Easy walk to Wrigley Field. The staff was very welcoming and got up early to provide food for us ahead of normal breakfast time due to our early departure.... More

I recently stayed at the Old Chicago Inn. Unfortunately, the inn was not anything like most of the reviews I previewed before booking the place. I commend the photographer who provided the pictures for their advertisement. But in this case, the pictures are not worth the thousand words. The room was dirty (2 inch dust balls behind the furniture), dust... More

Stayed in Room 2E the first night. Really bad room with holes in the floor underneath the beds (I was scared to see a rat come out of it). Paint is missing on walls. TV was broken. Old mattress but clean sheets. I don't recommend this room. Cigarette smell. I had to open all windows to get some air.

I'd recommend this place if you'd like to stay in a 'neighbourhood' (ie out of the downtown area). It's in a great part of town, very well located for the train, food and entertainment. The Inn has a lovely feel about it, and the staff are friendly, organised and welcoming. The room I had (1c) was small, but very comfortable.

Parked the car for free and great access to the train system. Safe and lively area with charm. Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are small, but great value for the price. If you are in Chicago to enjoy Chicago, this is a great place to lay your head when the day is through. Nothing flashy, but perfect if you are... More

The Old Chicago Inn is a family owned European style Bed and Breakfast with an emphasis on hospitality from the staff. The rooms are small and the facilities old, but it's comfortable, clean, and safe. The bed included a snuggly warm down duvet to ward off the cold rainy night! The plush robes for guests really were, the free wi-fi... More

Last minute find on a business trip to Chicago. David the inn keeper is great. Rooms are old but clean and comfortable. Neighborhood is safe. Plenty of dining options within walking distance. Train is easy walking distance so no need for a car.
