This little guest house is beautiful. Sally and her little team of very sweet girls make you very welcome and give you complete freedom of the house. There is a light and comfortable lounge space, a beautiful little garden with patio furniture, a well stocked kitchen and a very healthy and varied 'help yourself' breakfast. There are 4 rooms, I...

I stayed here a week in May and thoroughly enjoyed this B&B and my time in Chicago overall. Sally was there to welcome me and offer advice, booking my first tour. The kitchen and dining areas were well stocked and available to guests 24/7. My room on the ground floor was very comfortable and beautifully kept by the staff. All... More

This is a delightful old house with 4 guest rooms, all tastefully furnished with every need of guests in mind. Sally meets her guests, establishes rapport in a friendly and efficient way and tells you everything you need whilst providing a drink and cake. Rooms are en suite and private whilst there is also a sitting room with free computer... More

I continue to put my trust in Tripadvisor reviews when planning vacations and therefore chose their top rated Gold Coast Guest House bed and breakfast for a recent five day stay in Chicago. One of the best features of this place was location, location, and, did I mention --LOCATION! My wife and I could walk most places, or, when necessary,... More

The Gold Coast Bed and Breakfast is a wonderful experience. The inn keeper, Sally, is welcoming, accommodating and friendly. She goes out of her way to provide guests with information about tours, transportation, and eating places. The Bed and Breakfast is within walking distance of the city. The rooms are well-kept and comfortable. The linens excellent and the room is... More

I stayed at the Gold Coast Guest House on my first trip to Chicago. It was an excellent base from which to explore the city and Sally was fantastic in suggesting things to do and places to go in the short time we had there. The room was beautiful and spotlessly clean and the included breakfast was delicious. Would recommend... More

We spent 5 beautiful days in Chicago. The place is at walking distance from the heart of city and it is beautiful walking around also in the evening, not a given in US cities. The accomodation is extremely clean and cute. We had the towels changed every day and the furnitures are in excellent conditions. Sally is a very nice... More

About the owner of this B&B, there are only good things to say. She made us feel welcome and comfortable but still gave us privacy and was helpful with tips and guides to the city. She introduces the guests to each other at breakfast (which is absolutely wonderful and is included in the price) and has decorated the house so... More

Are you looking for a convenient place to stay while you explore the great city of Chicago? Well, look no further than Gold Coast B & B, Sally Baker's place. You can walk to Oak Street Beach from here, and the Red Line subway is a block away (which will get you just about anywhere) Very good restaurants are close... More
