We never really appreciated the description "Hidden Gem" for various places ,until we actually stayed at the Gold Coast Guest House. During the week of Thanksgiving we were planning a visit to our daughter who had recently moved to Chicago. Six days in a hotel did not appeal to us so we were thrilled to find an actual B &... More

Our first visit to Chicago would have been only half as tremendous without the accommodation provided by Sally at the God Coast Guest House. We could have stayed at a faceless, charmless hotel perhaps a few minutes closer to downtown, but seriously, for the benefit of having a safe, secure, warm, welcoming place to come back to after a day...

We have been visiting Chicago almost every year since 1984 and stayed in various hotels. In 2008 we discovered "our home away from home" at the Gold Coast Guest House B&B. Here, we've met some of the nicest people from different parts of the world, including Sally, the owner. This has been our 5th time at her B&B. It has... More

Only sweet dreams on this Elm Street! What a great B&B. The Rough Guide wasn't lying when it told us to stay at the Gold Coast Guest House with it's friendly atmosphere and knowledgeable hostess! The sheets are silky soft, the towels fluffy and it all comes with a never ending breakfast. This beautiful old house is located in a... More

In July I had the pleasure of staying at the Gold Coast Guest House Bed and Breakfast. A friend and I planned to meet at the B & B, and immediately upon landing at the airport, the owner, Sally, called to let me know my friend's plane was delayed due to weather. She was more informed than the airline personnel.... More

As someone who has lived in Chicago before, let me tell you Gold Coast B&B is in a great area, close to down-town and the tourist spots, close to the Red Line so you can L train it to every other great icon in Chicago eg. Wrigley Field, Field Museum etc. Sally is a charming, relaxed and helpful host. We... More

Chicago was one of the places I visited during my around the world trip and I stayed in the Gold Coast Guest House in March 2011. In terms of sport, the hospitality shown by Sally - the owner of the guest house, was on the top of either the NBA, NFL or NHL! I was almost for two months on... More
