John the owner was very polite. Quick response time. Everything was clean and spotless when arrived. Very cute and cozy room. The bed slept really nice which was a plus. The wicker park area is a great location, near lots of food places, including a Target just a 2 minute walk up the street. My staycation went well. I will be booking again as I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. :)

We had a lovely stay at The Golden Arm. The location is ideal, the room was comfortable, clean and had great design personality. Note that there is no staff on the premises and everything is communicated through text which was tricky at first but quickly it was no problem. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a nice, spacious room in a great location of Wicker Park. There were tons of restaurants and shops right outside our door. We had a 3rd floor unit in this walk-up "hotel." My only slightly negative comment is that the mattress was a little soft/sunken in the middle.

Great location for access to Wicker Park neighborhood. Minor issues, shower door broken, dirty entry. Be prepared for zero amenities and no closet but everything you need is accessible nearby. Good room and reasonably quiet so if all you need is a place to sleep this is perfect.

Loved staying here, nice clean rooms, perfect little kitchen. I suggest booking a room on the 3rd floor so you don't have to walk anymore of the stairs. Lol! Entrance and carpet up to rooms could be updated. Very central to everything, restaurants and bars right outside your door. I would stay here again and highly recommend

No place to check in early and drop bags, 4 flights of angled stairs with varying rails, very comfortable bed, ceiling fan, wall electric fireplace, small kitchen on 3rd floor with ice machine. No TV which is great because I only really sleep when im downtown, great city view, expected sirens occasionally. Overall great location, reasonable price, but tough amount of stairs.
