    Our family traveled from different locations to enjoy Christmas together in Chicago. The Old Chicago Inn was a perfect home away from home complete with homemade sweets and comfortable beds. The Inn was beautifully decorated with holiday decor including a giant Santa much to the delight of our grandchildren. The staff proved to be very charming, attentive and a great source of information for everyone's interest from Navy Pier's Winter Wonderland for the children to theatre and nightlight for the adults. The location is very convenient for sightseeing and shopping. It is located in a delightful walking neighborhood (close to Wrigley Field) and just steps from the El for downtown shopping and sightseeing. My husband and I loved the Inn's proximity to Trader Todd's for great food, drinks and karaoke. Located just a short walk from the inn, there was no need to hail a cab after a fun night out.

    I had a wonderful stay at the Old Chicago Inn. The room was lovely and had all of the amenities I needed with the exception of a hair dryer. I had one the first day and had put it on on a table for other guests to use (as I was instructed) and never saw it again! This was the fault of the other guests and not the staff. I can't say enough about the staff -- all wonderful. I especially appreciated the kind use of the B & B phone when my cell phone wasn't working. That was really good customer service! The location is absolutely perfect, and I had a restful and fun vacation. Will be back and will recommend it to others!

    Very comfortable, great bed, great location, fantastic poppy seed cake for breakfast, very helpful staff, no problems with the wireless. two minor complaints - the floors in my room squeaked with every step - which I find annoying, but not everyone would and I didn't have a bedside lamp to read by (but the ceiling light was on a dimmer which helped). I had a shared bath which worked out fine.

    This is a great option in a great area of Chicago. It's cheaper than other hotels in the area, and it has some personality to it. The owner was very involved and gave his number for any issues. The room was small, but comfortable. The only issue I had was that the wireless was so poor as to be almost unusable. It worked fairly well in the common areas, but in the room, it often went out and I couldn't connect at all. I was hoping to relax in my room before a big job interview and just watch a show, but I couldn't even check email.


    GREAT service and location

    My husband and I had a very nice stay at Old Chicago Inn. David (the Inn Keeper) was great! We were celebrating our anniversary which is also my husband's birthday and David baked us a heart shaped cake...way to go the extra mile! The location is perfect, very close to the train. We WILL be returning to stay at this B&B...next time, however, we will choose a room with a private bath.
