Wicker Park Inn, Chicago

Excellent stay.

I booked last minute, but before the 8pm check in deadline. No one was around when I actually went to check in, but the owner was very nice when I called and showed up within 5 minutes to let me in. Overall the staff was very nice. But this isn't a $130+ place. My room was very loud; right next to the office and the breakfast. You could see light through the door and hear everything said outside. The bathroom had a flickering light. The sink dripped. The bed though was the worst. It was a very cheap spring mattress that clearly had no soft layer on top. I hardly slept. Breakfast was instant oatmeal and some fresh fruit. It's a great location; if they just upgraded the beds I'd risk staying again, but until then I can't recommend this hotel.

This was an awesome, urban B&B! Only thing you should probably know is that the building is close to train tracks. It's really not that loud at all, but if you're a really light sleeper, I'd ask about it.

awesome place to stay! only complaint about anything is the twin bed on the room. Not much of a mattress on that beast, but everything else was 5 star. super clean!

Free wi-fi was better and more easily accessible than at the Hilton. The patio was a nice place to read and drink tea. We really enjoyed meeting others at breakfast. The hosts were a good source of information about sights and getting around. The walls were thin and the train tracks are behind the building, but this usually light sleeper slept very well here.
