We were greeted at the door by name and welcomed like we were old friends. The innkeeper Dave was great! Helpful & accommodating! The owner (Virginia) was wonderful and arranged for champagne and snacks, even though it was a last minute booking. The smell from the next door restaurant was enough to stop us in our tracks and took a... More

We stay at the Old Chicago Inn whenever we go to Chicago. We get exactly what we expect -- a clean and comfortable room with attention when we need it and privacy when we don't. The inkeeper is friendly and helpful. We get a great "big city" experience at a reasonable rate. We take the El from the airport and... More

I concede that the Old Chicago Inn has a great location, on a quiet side street in Lakeview near Wrigley Field. There any good qualities end. We saw awkward rooms with absolutely terrible design, convenience or workmanship and cheap materials throughout. Furnishings were the thinnest of towels and sheets topped with slippery polyester bedspreads. Our room and bath were freezing,... More

Stayed in room 3A for two nights. Windows were useless in keeping out city noise. Bathroom was dirty and needs updating. Trader Todd's was good for breakfast. Greatly disappointed with Old Chicago Inn. Would never recommend. More

Old Chicago Inn is perfect location for baseball at Wrigley Field, easy walking distance, and also easy access to the El train to get you anywhere in Chicago you want to go. Talk with Innkeeper about their Cubs ticket access and you can book the room and the games in one phone call! The Inn is old and quaint and... More

She said that the room was booked for the prev night, so the tenants probably still gonna be in the room but we can... More

I've stayed at the Old Chicago Inn before -- most recently for a wedding in December. When I was assigned a short work assignment in Chicago in March, I decided to add some fun to the trip by staying at the Inn again. Great decision! The folks at the OCI are amazingly friendly & able to help with information about... More

My wife and I visited Chicago for the first time and spent 5 days that the Old Chicago Inn. We drove into town (from Vancouver Canada) and were given a parking pass when we first checked in. The area has a lot of parking spots on what seem like safe neighborhood streets. We had to park two blocks away but... More

There's only one thing that makes the Old Chicago Inn tower above probably every other B&B in Chicago and far surroundings and its name is Jon. Once you've got used to his endless stream of ideas, hints, advices, encouragements, etc. and let it all sink in, you realise (and experience later on) what a priceless guy this innkeeper is. Tell...
