I felt like I found the home of my dreams just a little far from downtown Chicago, yet still within reach, offering a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The place takes great care to ensure the best comfort with attention to every detail, though it could be more appealing in some aspects.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and had plenty of open space, although they were relatively small. The design with two adorable stools to sit on added a modern and hip touch to the overall feel of the B&B.

Location

The location felt truly inviting and super chic, creating a homey atmosphere. However, it didn't look inviting at all, to be honest. The friendly staff and the fireplace added a nice touch, but being outside of the Loop didn't make it as convenient as we'd hoped.

Dining

The dining experience was beyond perfect. The food was not only delicious, but it felt like a true culinary experience. The eggs were cooked to perfection.
