My wife and I spent this past weekend at the UQ. The location was excellent, the room clean and well supplied, and the cordiality of the innkeeper was without equal. What was even more special was the presence of Tuxedo, the cat, who added much to the experience. The breakfasts were tasty and the snacks more than adequate. We can... More

Booked at this B & B because I needed to be at the University of Chicago for an evening meeting and didn't want a long drive afterwards. The room was very comfortable and the B & B is beautiful. And breakfast was wonderful - best eggs ever! More

We booked this on extremely short notice so that we could be near our son who had surgery at U of Chicago Hospital. It is very convenient to the south campus, very clean and the owners were extremely accommodating and helpful. The rooms are a bit small, but served our purpose well. Breakfast was AMAZING!! We thought we were just... More

The hosts were very friendly and our room/suite was comfortable. Unfortunately, the internet doesn't work well on Mac computers and we couldn't access the first night of the stay. There are no televisions in the rooms and the location is not a safe area. When we arrived there were nearby homes with shouting and arguing and the pirvate hire taxi... More

20 minutes drive south of the loop in an area somewhat off the beaten track, when we drove up to the B+B we weren't sure what to expect. The neighborhood feels a little edgy, though it was absolutely fine. First impressions of the B+B were not good. There's a very ill fitting curtain sagging from a third floor window, the... More

Thank you so much for your comments, which we truly value. We appreciate your compliments about our service and our clean and comfortable rooms. Though you may not have been familiar with our location, our B&B is one-half block from The University of Chicago campus, which is on Lake Michigan, 15 minutes from downtown Chicago by car, train, or bus....

Perfect location for those looking for a place to stay near UofC. Neighbourhood clean and quiet. Parking available on street in front of establishment. Interior very clean and comfortable. Although the Kimbark room is small, the beds are very comfortable. Shared bathroom is adequate. Nearest bus stop to connect to metro/train is located five to six blocks. Of the three... More

We were looking for a setting close to the University and near enough to see downtown Chicago. We look forward to a more personal environment. We received excellent advise and guidance from the best ground transports to local shopping ideas. We were at ease knowing they had been in contact with email and calls when our flight was cancelled. Despite... More

I spent 2 nights at the University Quarters while at UC for a conference. I felt very comfortable there. The rooms are not huge, but there's ample common space to sit and read, chat, etc. A well-stocked fridge, and a kettle on the stove always ready to make a cup of tea. Peter and Paula are just as friendly and... More

Affordable great place to stay if you visiting the U. of Chicago. Four blocks away from main campus. Excellent first class accommodation with very accommodating proprietors. Stayed one night with my daughter for a campus visit. Very pleasant memorable stay. More

My daughter and I stayed there while visiting the University. Peter and Paula graciously let us check in early to make it to our tour on time, gave us great directions to campus, and even called us to tell us when we needed to move our car to avoid a parking ticket. Our beds were really comfortable (complete with bathrobes)... More
