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!

A hidden gem with outstanding customer service

Ray's B&B is a hidden gem. It exemplifies service and the highest level of personalized attention to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Even though i stayed for just one night during a business trip, the experience was outstanding. This will be my default option for further trips to Chicago.

Brazeals in Bucktown

Wonderful new discovery for us. We were in Chicago to visit our son who lives in Wicker Park and discovered this fabulously funky B&B in Bucktown. It will DEFINITELY be our go to place to stay for future visits. Staff so friendly, everything about our stay was great, visiting with fellow guests over breakfast (pancakes or French Toast, which to choose, too hard, have both!) - just altogether wonderful.

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!
