My husband and I stayed at the Gold Coast Guest House during our visit to Chicago to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time! Its location is superb - a charming neighborhood within comfortable walking distance to quite a bit: the Red Line (wonderful public transportation!), the lakefront (great for walking, bike riding, roller skating, or just... more

We stayed there for four nights and were not sure what to expect having read recent reviews. As it happened we did not have to tackle the spiral staircase because we turned up with so much luggage that Sally suggested we stay in the ground floor bedroom. That turned out to be a good move because it is also next... more

good location but when we booked nothing was said about the addition odf taxes vto the price. On arrival veery jet lagged we were immediateli given the bill for 3 nights and asked to pay.Extra 75 dollars for parking!We got the distinct impression that this b&b exists as a money making venture and that we were almost a nuisance.Very small... more

That spiral stair would indeed make like difficult not only for anybody with mobility problems, but for anybody with bulky luggage. Also we aren't used to staying in places without live-in staff, and were a little disoriented by this. And yet we really liked it for a week in June.

We stayed at the Gold Coast Guest House B&B for a weeks holiday visit to Chicago in April 2007.

We had a list of recommended places to eat almost immediately - which was just what we wanted! The room was very... more

My husband and I wanted to find a special place to stay in Chicago to celebrate his 40th birthday. I used to live in the Gold Coast, actually I lived two blocks away from the Gold Coast Guest House. Our stay at the Guest House was perfect. We had a great room that was warm and cozy, we did not... more

I stayed at the guest house for 4 days from 17th November and felt immediately at home. It is a lovely place with bedrooms that I would say far surpass those of hotel accommodation. The guest house is a 10 minute walk from the Magnificent MIle and all the wonderful shopping areas that downtown Chicago has to offer. It is... more

The Gold Coast Guest House surpassed all our expectations. It's in a perfect location - convenient to so many great restaurants, as well as downtown Chicago. The room itself was delightful - charming and clean. Sally has thought of every amenity that a traveler might need. The breakfasts provided a great start to the day. We highly recommend it and... more

Staying in a B&B in Chicago is the only civilized way to go, but I was disappointed in this one for two reasons: 1)Several months before I was to arrive in Chicago for a very large convention I contacted the owner directly, booked the specific nights and gave her my credit card information. A month before I was to fly... more
