Tried to cancel as sickness prevented us from traveling. Refused to refund money. Booked through Expedia - would not help us. Found out booking agent was VRBO. Had terrible experience with them in Venice and would NOT have booked if we had known. Had travel insurance - would not acknowledge.

The Marilyn Suite Was Amazing! The Building & Neighborhood Provided A Taste Of What Living In The Heart of The Chicago Is Like. Quiet, Luxurious & In The Middle Of All Kinds of Action. I Would Highly Recommend A Stay Here. I Felt Like I WAS Marilyn & Loved Every Minute Of IT!

The house is beautiful and lot of attention went into the design of each room (we we're traveling with friends). The property is on a lovely tree-lined street and in a great, walkable neighborhood. A continental breakfast was included and the communal kitchen and sitting area were tidy. We were only disappointed to learn that wifi was not included. We sent a screenshot of the property description from the Expedia app to management, since free wifi was advertised. They responded quickly and courteously, but didn't offer to comp it or do anything to make up for this error on their part. At $200-250 a night, free wifi is to be expected. I am in hospitality myself and had a guest brought this same situation to me, I absolutely would have honored what was advertised.

Incertitude et manque de soin

Appartement spacieux et agréable présentant les inconvénients majeurs suivants : 1. Baignoire bouchée : malgré messages téléphoniques (sms et vocaux) le samedi vers 19h aucune réponse. Nous avons du déboucher par nous même la baignoire et le lavabo avec une ventouse : photos de paquets de cheveux et de saleté à disposition ! 2. Pas d'interlocuteur physique présent 3. Pas d'internet : si vous ne payer la connexion avec le site… vous n'avez pas internet… 4. Une responsable technique est venue dimanche en début après-midi et avons du attendre arrivée du plombier jusqu'à 15h30 car nous sommes seuls à avoir les clés ! Le plombier a aussi débouché les sanitaires de l'étage inférieur et ceux du sous-sol où se trouve la pièce du petit déjeuner !

Rude. Only out for your money. This place does not refund your booking so do not book if you anticipate a cancellation or bad customer service. Lady was definitely loving herself too much and cared less that we had an emergency.

Great Place in a Great Location

This was the perfect place to stay for a visit to Chicago. The old house is in the Gold Coast is in wonderful condition. Each room is decorated in the style of a famous person. . . Elvis Presley, Audrey Hepburn, Al Capone, etc. Our room was beautifully decorated with photos of Audrey Hepburn, accessories from Breakfast at Tiffany's, and framed quotes from the movie star. The spacious room included a kitchenette with a sink, refrigerator, microwave, dishes, coffee service, etc. There was a common area which included a living room, kitchen, and patio with a fireplace. The location was in walking distance to shopping, bars, and restaurants.

Charming and perfect!

We absolutely loved this hotel. I always have a good time in Chicago, but I never particularly look forward to going back to the room. Except on this trip! Beautifully decorated, cozy and comfortable; and close to everything to boot. I felt like I was going back to my own apartment after a day of shopping and dinner (albeit much more art fully decorated than mine...) We will absolutely stay again. All hotels should be this charming!

HORRIFIC CUSTOMER SERVICE

Horrific experience with this property! Do not book this place or you will be sorry. We booked on April 5th and due to a tragic circumstance we had to cancel on May 10th giving the owner a full 90 days to rebook the unit. The owner refused to refund our $400 a night for 4 nights. She has reopened the dates on her calendar and will rebook the nights and collect double payment. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM. READ THE REVIEWS HERE AND ON TRIP ADVISOR.

Totally Unsatisfied

Upon arriving, the door would not open. After finally getting in with assistance we checked the rooms out. My daughter spotted a bed bug (or flea) on her bed. After calling the Manager of the property to relay that information and ask for other accommodations, she seemed insulted with our findings and had our car towed. She refused to give us our money back, I had to pay $218.00 plus uber fare for me and my kids to get our car from impound. We ended up not staying and driving 4-1/2 hours home.

Accomodations were fantastic, once we figured out how to get in, and where to park. Had some issues initially with figuring out access. Also, the place we were told to park did not accept my credit card, so I had to drive around about half an hour to find a place to park. Aside from that glitch, my wife loved the property and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Gorgeous, great location. Check reservation.

This property is stunning. It's close to all the action and a quick walk our Uber if you want to explore other areas in the city. The rooms are spacious, clean, and very comfortable. A light breakfast is available in the common area. The building is a walk-up. So if you are disabled or have challenges with stairs, you will want to stay on the first floor. Parking is expensive but if you use spot hero you can find a reasonable spot. I paid $46/2 nights at a garage around the corner. If you decide to stay here - this is not an on-site managed b&b. You need to get a door access code. You need to get this from the building management. They operate a number of properties around the city so if a code is not sent to you, call the number provided in your reservation at least 48 hours ahead of time. You should do this as well to verify your reservation. The B&B is booked on multiple sites and sometimes they do not talk to each other. This property is located on a quiet, high- end street in the Gold Coast. Please respect the neighborhood and neighbors. Finally, if there is an issue with your reservation, DO NOT call Expedia. They cannot help you. Work with the building management.

not worth it

I'm not sure why would you want to spend $200 on a property, which's old, and lack of maintenance, the heater and the floor is making noise all the time, and it's not really a bed an breakfast place, there's bread in the fridge if you want to have some, no one is taking care the actually breakfast for you, someone randomly knock on the door in the morning, and the cleaning service tried to use their key to open the door too, this is awful experience. I stayed in EMC the night before, brand new hotel, cost me half the price, i have no idea why did i spend double on such a place like this. not again.

Wonderful!

I am a well traveled 45 year old who is middle class. I say this so you understand where I am coming from.......I booked this room on a major site and the communication from the property manager was great. She emailed me instructions to get into the room as well as personally called me to make sure everything was set. I like the personal touch and it was super easy to get into the building and everything was just as expected. The room was MUCH bigger than what the pics do it justice. It was uber clean and very very comfortable. It is important to note that this is in an older building but it is decorated very tastefully and in a unique way. We absolutely loved it. There was a little kitchen in the suite, it contained a sink, fridge, microwave and many of the cups and plates you would need. We also used the dining commons in the "basement" which contained a full kitchen and seating area. You could also go outside in a small, but very quaint seating area that had an outside grill. The breakfast is a continental affair with waters and yogurt in the fridge, bread, english muffins, fruit and some bars. Nothing major but a nice way to take care of the morning hunger pains. On the day of checkout, we were allowed to keep our luggage in the house below the stairs....the place is a 20 minute walk to millennium station, 5 minute walk to many restaurants in the gold coast and 5 minutes to the Water Tower place as well as the rest of Michigan Ave.

HORRIBLE

My Husband and I thought this would be a perfect idea for NYE. I called and booked with Bedandbreakfast.com. On the website it stated that 2 rooms was available to book and the rep from B&B also gave me the same info. All for the property manager call us back within and hour to say that they are OVERBOOKED!! and she don't know why B&B are still advertising the rooms and I would have to call them back to get a refund. IT's 8:30 PM B&B are closed..I called the following day for 2 Reps from B&B to reassure me that our money had been refunded and that it will take 3-5 business days to be returned. My husband gave them (B&B) a call today to check on the status of our return for a Rep to say that we will NOT be getting a refund until the 31st of this Month. Can someone please tell me what is going on here!?? I have called from 9am til noon for the reps to continue to tell me that the managers are in a meeting but can put me on hold to get answers to my questions. I will be giving the BBB a call as well as my Lawyers.

Beautiful home, terrible customer service

Let me start by saying the amenities, building, and location are beautiful and well maintained. The issue was with the property manager. Check-in is at 4pm and we arrived on Friday around 4:15. I had not received an communication from the owner or property manger so figured someone would be at the property to greet us. No one was there, nor was there any information in the emails I had received from hotels.com with information about the enter the building. I called the number on the email confirmation about 6-7 times and left a voicemail. Finally someone returned my call and proceeded to scream at me about not being able to read emails because the information was sent to me, along with other important information and threatening to make me leave the property. Once we got inside the room I got another phone call saying that the welcome email had never been sent, and that "computers have a mind of their own". I have never felt more disrespected in my life, especially by someone representing a business. I would advise against staying here as this interaction almost ruined my weekend.

Gold Coast gem

The Grace Kelly suite is beautiful and expansive with lots of natural light. Cedar Street is a quiet respite from the rush of Rush Street and State. The only downsides are it has only one (nice sized and well appointed bathroom) and no elevator. Still, highly recommended.
