We reserved a 2 bedroom unit. After walking into the smoke filled office and signing our paperwork we we taken to our unit. When left in the unit, my husband and I just looked at each other and said " what are we going to do?". It was that bad. Stains all over the furniture, mold in bathroom. I didn't... More

We used this for a visit to U of C. Location was good: close to the school and the Metra. Easy to get to downtown. A nice neighborhood. Free parking, do note that there is a two night minimum for rentals. As mentioned before this is an apartment, so do not expect there to be a lot of the "hotel... More

We were a group of about 20 (some families with young children, older sibling groups, and singles) to attend a South-side Chicago wedding. We rented three (3) units at the Beadle with the goal of inexpensive lodging in an area of town where we could walk to food and easily commune as a large group in the units. We achieved... More

There are not many places to stay in the Hyde Park area and close to the University of Chicago especially if you want to stay more that overnight. This is a little surprising since the University has numerous visitors. The Beadle Residence was a very good find. It is really a collection of apartments with several available for short term...

Obviously, the Beadle Residences is not a hotel. It is a small three-story apartment complex furnished and available for short-term rentals. There is no front desk, but we have never had any trouble making arrangements to get in or to leave. Needless to say, there are not many options in Hyde Park, but if this sort of arrangement meets your... More

We stayed here with my family, with small kids, in December 2010. The apartments are very well maintained, comfortable and clean. There are, e.g., dishwashers, washing machines and dryers in the apartments, which made our life with the kids much easier. The location was excellent, at least for us, as we were working at the University of Chicago and it's... More

I've been wanting to comment on what a find the Beadle Residence is since I was there in the Spring with my 6 month old and husband. So comfy and accommodating. And close to a lot of great parks.

At $220 a night for a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment, this was far cheaper than any decent downtown hotel. The Beadle could make great sense for somebody who has a reason to be in Hyde Park. The beautiful University of Chicago campus is only a short walk away. The Beadle makes no pretence to being a hotel. It basically specializes in... More

You can't tell from reading their website, but when I called to make reservations I was told that children can stay ONLY if reviewed and accepted by the innkeeper. Come on. This is 2010, and it is the United States. I have traveled throughout the world, and even in the most repressive countries I have never encountered such tripe. If... More
