Really neat eclectic B&B in midtown Chicago. Very friendly and accessible staff, very clean, and quiet. Breakfast is usual fare but preparation and ingredients are excellent. I do wish they had breakfast potatoes as an option on their menu though. Bed is very comfy but room and BR are a little cramped.

Spotless room. Very friendly staff. All kinds of nice extras such as snacks, drinks, etc. Interesting artwork & oddities throughout the b&b. Garage parking tight but a huge plus. Made to order breakfast was excellent. Would definitely return.

I enjoyed my night here and the deep soaking jetted tub was just what I needed to relax. Ashley was very kind as was the rest of the staff. I appreciated the secure on site parking which was included. My made to order omelette was delicious for breakfast.

We had the best stay at Rays and will definitely be back! Everything about this place is fantastic, its hard to know where to begin, but the care and love put into their B&B can be felt for real. And had an unbelievably comfy and restful sleep. Woke up feeling refreshed, and had the best made to order breakfast!
