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!

The COOLEST place to stay. Quiet, has everything you could ever possibly need, and gives you the opportunity to meet new people! Ray has an incredible collection of pretty much everything, so you never get bored of looking around. The staff were all so welcoming, and made us feel taken care of every step of the way. The bed was so comfortable and we had all the space and accommodations we needed! Thank you Ray’s, we hope to see you all again when we’re next in Chicago!

Can order breakfast from menu. Staff are kind. The room Is clean. Multiple restaurants and pub nearby. The street has no sweeping schedule. So it is easy to find parking spot. I do have garage reserved but my ford F150 would not fit. So I parked on the street had no issue at all. I love this place. Thanks.

Perfect Getaway

My best friend and I had a little weekend getaway this past weekend for a concert and Rays was the perfect place to book! Rays was so well kept and the ladies that run it did an excellent job with welcoming us and making us feel at home. The room we stayed in was spacious for 2 people with an amazing access to the private patio area and it was beautiful and quiet. I would highly recommend Rays to anyone in or out of Chicago!
