This is the place for people that care most about location and service! You are a half block from the El (red, purple, brown train lines) and 5 stops from the heart of downtown Chicago. The Lakeview area is a great home base with fun local shops and some great places to eat within five minutes walking (Ann Sathers for breakfast and Mia Francesca for dinner were wonderful). David (the innkeeper) made us feel welcome right away and was always available to grant a special request, provide a travel tip and even baked us cookies for our anniversary. Do remember this is a city setting so you will hear street traffic, the train and folks having a fun night out but that is city life and we wanted to experience it all. The space heater was welcome as our room could get chilly but it warmed us up quickly. Breakfast is really just to get you going-juice, coffee, cereal and a home made cake. This is a charming old building and great for people that are there to explore the city. Look elsewhere if you like plush modern and Ritz-like pampering. We will be back again!
