Really cool place with very helpful staff and amazing breakfast. Thereâs a lot of thing to see and read inside the place. The location is good cause itâs not to far from the subway and the neighborhood is friendly.
Fantastic Bed & Breakfast, totally unconventional. The people running the place couldnât be more helpful and nice! Try to have some time to enjoy the place because this is not your typical hotel.
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!
Ray's Bucktown Bed and Breakfast is widely celebrated for its eclectic and warm atmosphere, making guests feel at home amidst its unique decor. It definitely feels like you're staying with family, along with a vast array of things to do while "at home" with them (you can do laundry, use the steam/sauna, play some board games, read the newspaper, soak up the sun's rays/watch the stars at night on their upper deck,etc.) along with the many amenities that it provides. The warm hospitality that Ashlee & Kat provided was out of this world - and you know that first impressions last! I appreciated every single interaction I had with them, despite being my first time staying at the humble abode - in addition, to just being my second time in Chicago! Having stayed with them definitely changed my perspective on hotels & motels, and I highly recommend Ray's Bucktown B&B to those who need a comfortable, no-frills, & home-y place to stay!
This was superb. Very safe and secure. Much attention to the details which make a stay enjoyable. Fabulous made to order breakfast. I highly recommend Ray's!
Amazing property! Cooked to order breakfast, staff off the charts hospitable and friendly. The whole feel of the space is inviting and calm. My room was a cozy little respite from the city, though in a walkable neighborhood. It was home away from home. Definitely want to return.
What a rad spot...great staff, A M A Z I N G breakfast (can I say Nutella and banana stuffed French toast?!), nice sauna on premise, clean rooms, so much to look at, and I parked in the garage! Will be back...daughters had a blast.
This used to be Ray's photo studio, because he was a professional photographer. That probably wouldn't matter to most people, but I am also a professional photographer and I really enjoyed talking with Ray about birds and his travels. I really appreciated the indoor parking, and the breakfasts were very large. The staff was very friendly and helpful in explaining everything that we had access to in the building. It would be a great stop for kids because of all the games available. Loved it, and will stay there again the next time we visit Chicago!
This B&B is a gem. Loved it. Itâs like staying in someoneâs huge, comfortable home with a fabulous hostess. Plenty of parking, creative decor, and the huge made to order breakfast is fabulous. They have snacks, homemade baked goods and all kinds of drinks in the kitchen. They serve breakfast until 11 for late risers. Laundry, sauna, steam room. Will definitely stay again.
A very unique, fun, and accommodating place to stay. They made check-in super easy. The building was fun to explore. The breakfast was excellent! Even though they were out of parking in their garage, there was plenty of free street parking available in the area. Definitely would recommend to anyone staying in Chicago.
My niece and I stayed at Ray's for the Billie Eilish concert. The beds could have been more comfortable BUT the next day when we were checking out they actually had all new mattresses delivered! So that's nice! The property manager was great! The breakfast *chef's kiss*! And the free garage packing?! Come on! I felt safe, comfortable and told my bff this is where we're staying for. Our next trip to Chicago! The sauna and steam shower were nice too!
I chose Rays s it was conveniently located near my client. A B&B would never be my choice for a business trip but I feel lucky I found this place. Great accommodations. Felt like a mini vacation. Iâm returning when I can.
We were in town visiting family and needed a place for one night. Perfect for us. Easy to find near our family with free parking. Breakfast was delicious and staff was great.
