What isn’t to love about Ray’s?! The staff were friendly and welcoming, the breakfasts were delicious, and the room was cozy and comfortable. Not to mention, close to transportation and the area is safe and walkable. I’ve found my go-to place to stay whenever I visit Chicago in the future!

Quite little place well worth the stay
A cute little bed and breakfast in Bucktown, only about a mile walk from anything you could need. Beautifully decorated and furnished. The Cardinal room was great, private bathroom, comfortable beds, and more wonderful artwork. The cooked to order breakfast was some of the best home cooking I've had, and the sauna and steam rooms in the basement were a cherry on top!
Standing in the cardinal room.
Delicious mixed berry pancakes.
Just some of the quirky art scattered around the beautiful interior.

Definitely stay again
We arrived late and picked up all the info and keys we needed inside. We had been told how to enter and where to park. We had our own garage space with an opener and no extra charge. The room was clean and the beds were great. The shower was wonderful, too. The room was a little too cold, but after contacting the desk, we found that the control was outside the room. We only ate one breakfast, because we had to leave the house before 7 most days. The breakfast was great, a lot of choices. When we came in at night there was always a plate of snacks available and there were plenty of waters available. One of the best things was that when we told Kat that we had to leave early on the last day to catch our plane. she prepare to go breakfast bags for each of us, that made it through TSA with no problems. We would definitely stay again, but would like to try another room as it appeared that each room was as different as the decorations in the whole house.
