Incredible and unique experience!

Everything was really clean and was really comfortable. Remember to bring your own shampoo, conditioner and other self cleaning stuff you might need. Everything was really well explained so you’ll never feel lost with something. Highly recommend!

Great Getaway

This was such a pleasant place to retreat to after enjoying the hustle and bustle of the city. They’ve created a little oasis with seating inside of a garden, quaint rooms, and surprising privacy. The communication is impeccable and you have all that you need for the perfect experience.

Great Spot Near Wrigleyville

Location, Location! This is a perfect spot if you are attending any event at Wrigley Stadium. Just about a 10 min walk to there and the Addison train station if you want to go downtown. The care taker was very attentive. The room was cozy. Loved the ease and security of the code locks. Lots of great places to eat with in walking distance. Breakfast was continental. Loved the coffee station downstairs.

If you want a clean, co-operative, really cool place to stay for a night or a week, this is the place. Great location (<1mi to Wrigley)! Easy access to the “L” and CTA busses. Small, but clean and continental breakfast. Reasonable rates for what they provide imo.

THE place to stay in the area

It really is THE place to stay in the Boystown area. I've been coming back for over 20 years and the recent owners are making several great upgrades. New amenities in the rooms like a retro fridge! I really like the all digital building and room access - no more keys!
