    Chicago, Il. What's there not to like here? Real tasteful restoration of an old Chicago building with an edge leaning toward luxury. The bed, great. I slept well and it was pretty quiet except for my neighbors squeaky floor at 6:30 am. Fortunately he did not tarry too long. Surprisingly, almost no street noise. The breakfast, amazing. Homemade omlettes, granola, yougurt, fruit, rich coffee, orange juice, and much more. The buttered toast was hard to put down. Something for everyone, all good. The staff was over the top accommodating. Interesting collection of books in the library. Sure beats some hotel.

    This hotel is an absolute gem! I had the pleasure to stay here mid-March and I couldn't have felt more taken care of - from the cozy welcoming vibe to the complementary (homemade) snacks, cleanliness, invisible service (no loud banging on the door from housekeeping - they clean once you're gone for the day), bathroom products, morning breakfast, fireplace and books - it feels private and exclusive and tailored especially for you - all the comforts of home and then some. I can't wait to stay again! Kimberly was so kind and wrote me a detailed email with info on the bedding and mattresses they use, after I mentioned how comfortable they were. Such a lovely establishment, and perfect service

    Believe the hype! 1 night, business travel. Can't imagine staying anywhere else in Chicago. Ideal place for a family event or friends getaway! TIPS: Booking via 3rd party website was approx $40 more for the most basic room (they don't get the money) - for best rates book directly! Check-in before 7pm or let them know you're arriving late. In a spectacularly renovated old building so voices carry in the hallway. Wasn't a big issue, most guests were quiet after 10pm and earplugs were provided. (Caveat emptor for light sleepers not used to having neighbors!) Bonus - USB charging ports, adjustable lighting, electronic blackout shades, windows that open, great pillows. Also, Netflix in every room! No pets, but the owners love dogs so they're okay in my book. (If you're lucky you'll catch their dogs going out for a walk.) BREAKFAST IS NOT TO BE MISSED!! Ask about specials AND check out the buffet.

    My daughter and I had several trips planned pre-covid. All were canceled. We had a few concerts scheduled- also canceled. She moves to college next month, so I asked her to pick a city she'd like to visit before she leaves and we'd go for a week. She picked Chicago. I found The Publishing House and right away knew it was a good fit for us. Here in Northern Ca we're in a drought so showers are cut very short ... the B&B had a room available with not just a gorgeous shower but also a claw foot tub. Baths! Long glorious, deep baths. We stayed in Everleigh for four nights - and considering we're used to Napa prices for hotels (our go to when we want to get away, the daily rate of the Everleigh 300+ wasn't bad) plus it included breakfast. Done! We got there super late, checkin was emailed to me and was super easy. Breakfast the next morning was amazing. So good! Coming and going was a breeze with the b&b - and I always felt super safe. The room is beautiful, the bathroom was phenomenal (steam shower and claw foot tub) and the window coverings & temp were all easily adjustable. I learned a few things and id like to share them here - nothing bad at all considering we'll be back for sure! Dietary restrictions - I was looking forward to gluten free baked goods (there were a few pics of Gf donuts I saw online (their Yelp, website...somewhere) but they never served anything like this. There was gluten free option in the main breakfast tho so that was great. I'm pretty sure on the intake form I had included I was gluten free but I'm not sure. I'm not celiac (I do get sick when I eat gluten but it isn't fatal like celiac) so I didn't sweat it. The bed - way too soft. I felt like I just sunk into it and didn't move. I woke up stiff every day. I also feel like this is going to be a very good thing for most people. I have issues with my neck, so having a super soft bed isn't good for me. Everyone else might be just fine. Breakfast - we are on PST so two hours behind Chicago. Breakfast ending at 9am was rough. I wish I had the option to have a breakfast packed for us, to eat a little later. Saturday service didn't end until 10am and this was so nice, enjoying breakfast together (my daughter was still asleep the other days so I ate solo) on our last morning there was great. Honestly that's it - nothing too harsh, just a couple things I would have liked to have known about ahead of time. All in all an absolutely wonderful experience. Looking forward to visiting again with my fiancé in the future.

    This beautiful bed and breakfast is a home away from home. Whenever I go to Chicago this would be my first choice if they have vacancy. If it were possible I would come just to read in the common area and have a magnificent breakfast cooked for me each day! The food is exquisite and the atmosphere is very comfortable. The attention to detail is impressive. I would come back to request a different room each time because of how unique each room is. There is a lot of character. The owners of this place are very friendly and their 2 dogs are a nice bonus! Many other guests that we spoke to live in the area, but use this place as a staycation. Great idea :) It was sad to leave, but I will make sure to come back as soon and as often as I can.

The mansion is stunningly beautiful and the ambiance transported us far from the daily grind. Breakfasts exceeded expectations. Snacks, including homemade banana nut bread, and a large variety of beverages are always available. HVAC and shower temperatures could have been better but those issues pale in comparison to the total experience. The mansion was built in the 1870's so retrofitting can't be perfect.

It has been updated and featured beautiful furnishings and artwork. Don, who is the owner, was a gracious and proud host. He makes the check-in process easy and sends guests daily updates via text.. Although a continental breakfast was provided each day, a cook prepared breakfast tacos and tortillas our first two mornings. Both were very tasty. The kitchen is available around the clock if you want to make a panni sandwich. They also had housemade lasagna in the refrigerator for a quick 2-minute reheating in the microwave. Our charming unit is probably one of the smallest in the building, but it was perfect for us, as we were visiting relatives nearby. It included a bed, desk, bath and fireplace. It did have an outdoor patio and direct access to the complex's hot tub. The unit's shower is in the hallway near the front door, not in the bath itself. That was odd, but we made it work. Staying in late February, our $189 night rate was extremely fair for what we received. We plan to return soon.

The bed was cozy, but the pillows were not my style. That don't mean others won't like it, but bring your own pillow if you're use to it. They may have a cheaper garage across the street, but I would highly advise paying the extra money because I believe their garage allows in and out as many times until you check out. Others only offered 1 in and out.

    We settled for Kasa because they were one of the few hotels in the downtown area where the date we…read morewanted to arrive in Chicago was available. We got a studio. They are a high rise with about 30 floors. They are located in the River North area surrounded by restaurants, walking distance to shopping; you can walk to the Magnificent Mile but I found a few shops that were right around the corner that I love. If you're a diva, try Accessorize on State St. Since they are located downtown, you are going to experience the city "noise" like ambulances, police, and ohh the church bells. There are a few Catholic Churches in the vicinity that ring their bells at the same time every day (9am, noon, weddings). So just remember, all hotels downtown are going to be noisy. Don't book a hotel in the heart of downtown Chicago if you want peace and quiet. Really this is the only con of our stay but we still enjoyed Chicago. We too experienced the guy at the front desk who seemed "bothered" and not very personable, a trait that is necessary when dealing in hospitality. The welcome wasn't warm. You will get communications via text to make sure you have settled in okay, to see if there are any issues, to extend your stay and help you sign out. I liked that. I figure technology is taking over where human social skills used to be. Overall, the hotel was clean. I had one issue where the cleaners didn't clean around the base of the toilet. I was able to address that in the text. They sent someone up right away to clean it. Each unit has a patio which we enjoyed. We could see the Sears Tower and the Holy Name Cathedral from our room. There is a Whole Foods and Lifetime Fitness across the street. I cooked breakfast every morning in our room which saved on eating out. There is no restaurant in the building. There is no exhaust fan in the bathroom. You will need to purchase air freshener. There is a washer and dryer where you can wash your towels. Detergent is provided. We washed our towels instead of asking for more. There are also additional towels in the closet. Since I'm a clean freak I purchased Clorox wipes to keep the surfaces clean. They only provide one roll of paper towels. I suggest that you read all the information they provide to you upon booking and you will have no issues. Everything is spelled out. They return the $250 they hold for incidentals the next business day. It is noted that if you lose the key fobs, there is a fee. The desk guy also tells you this when he shows you your room. So it is not a surprise fee. The check out procedure is super easy; hit check out in the app and leave the fobs on the hooks near the door. That's it!! Checkout time is 11:00am. Our train left at 9pm, they give you the opportunity to check your bags for free. You can extend your stay in the room by the hour at a cost that increases $25 for each hour. We extended our stay for a couple hours and checked our bags so we could continue to do more stuff in this great city. We will stay here again. I loved the location. But don't expect hugs and kisses upon arrival. Lol, this guy will check you in, explain how the elevators work and how to access your room. We got it! We still enjoyed our stay

You can swap out the tots for sweet potato fries to feel more healthy or just eat the fruit cup and call it a day. Not one of those bougee overprice brunch spots, an actual brunch spot. Definitely want to return some time.
