There's only one thing that makes the Old Chicago Inn tower above probably every other B&B in Chicago and far surroundings and its name is Jon. Once you've got used to his endless stream of ideas, hints, advices, encouragements, etc. and let it all sink in, you realise (and experience later on) what a priceless guy this innkeeper is.

Picked this hotel after research on Trip Advisor and I am so glad that we did. It was definitely a unique place to stay. A lot of the rooms do not have bathrooms in them but one will be assigned to you. It is clear on their website which rooms do have the bathrooms and which do not. We went... more

We stayed in the smallest room, 2C. It was comfortable for 2, and we werent in Chicago to sit in our room anyways. The room has a shared bathroom and we never had to wait even though the Inn was full. Breakfast is a standard continental like breakfast that would be found at any hotel. The Inn also has a... more

We decided to stay at the Old Chicago Inn and not at a chain hotel because we wanted to offer our relatives a unique experience. This plan backfired. The bathroom had black mold growing in the shower and on the window sill. Of the three... more

My wfie, 2 year old daughter & myself just got back from Chicago & we loved this place. We spent 3 nights in Room 3A during our stay. Virginia, Jon & Cooper were excellent hosts. Virginia met us on the curb when we arrived & got us checked in. Breakfast wasn't a buffet but was more than enough to get... more

You will also be given a $10 voucher for food at Trader Todd's (Jon/Virigina also own this establishment). The food at Todd's is good and brunch prices are... more

The best thing about this place is the location IF you are going to Wrigley Field. This is not a true bed and breakfast as breakfast was a choice of individual box cereal, yogurt bars, muffins, coffee and juice (about what you get a Comfort Inn, actually less choices than Comfort Inn). Each morning I had to find a real... more

Four groups of our extended family made a spring break trip to Chicago to visit my daughter who lives beside Wrigley Field. We wanted somewhere near her apartment instead of one of the big downtown hotels. I was impressed with the service beginning with my initial phone call. I wanted to book 4 rooms for different numbers of people arriving... more
