I chose Rays s it was conveniently located near my client. A B&B would never be my choice for a business trip but I feel lucky I found this place. Great accommodations. Felt like a mini vacation. I’m returning when I can.

Ashlee was here to greet me when I arrived, and you can see immediately she loves her job. The outside is misleading because it is large, well laid out and thoughtful. The owner has put so much thought into the decor you will be amazed. Breakfast is cooked to order, and 5 star quality. I would like to note they have made 1 garage allotment that will fit a suburban size vehicle. But there is ample street parking and other garages for smaller vehicles. You will see the extra touches and will put this on the list of a must stay when you are in Chicago.

We stayed at Ray’s while visiting Chicago for a concert at The Salt Shed. We’re so happy we took a chance and booked this room! The area is cute, street parking was relatively easy, the room was fun and the whole vibe was very unique and eclectic. There are so many fun accents all over the place. Breakfast was easy and very good! We will be back!

Our family loved our time at Ray's. Our boys slept in the bunk-bed lofts. Great location in a cool neighborhood in the heart of the city. Close to the free parking lot for Cubs games. Incredible breakfast and hospitable customer service. Thanks, awesome hosts!
