Everything. The atmosphere, the staff, everything was incredible. I only wished I had stayed longer.
Ashlee was very helpful and accommodating. I was upgraded to the room with a view and would highly recommend staying there.Joe from United Kingdom (10/10)
An absolute dream… an Aladdin's cave of wonderful art, collections and curios… every service you could hope for and more; an urban hideaway stuffed with bags full of character, convenience and charm. And breakfasts to
walk miles for. I just loved it.Gonzalo from South Korea (10/10)

The staff go out of there way to make sure you have everything you need. Food was amazing. Only 15 minute stroll through a safe neighborhood to the train. Highly recommend
Tracy from United States (10/10)
I loved the communication, the location, the room I stayed in, the breakfast and most of all the staff were amazing. This is a really cool place to stay. Slept great and very quiet. Loved seeing people with their dogs but never heard one bark. Such a great place to stay!!!
Elizabeth from United States (10/10)
Blends in to the neighborhood, incredibly interesting decor, clean and comfortable room and bathroom, snacks and tea/coffee available 24/7, warm staff that makes sure you settle in, but outside breakfast you have the place to yourself (or other guests). My 14yo daughter and I shared chickadee. We strolled Bucktown and wicker park after breakfast. In the afternoon we lounged in the common area reading.
Tara from United Kingdom (10/10)
