One star overall.

Place extremely difficult to locate. Took 15 minutes to locate upon arrival. No signs or labels anywhere. Bed small. Room small. Not enough for 2 adult males. Noise from people partying went on thru 5am.! Bar below room. Check in process rediculous. No live person at any time at all. No contact info beyond electronic. Checkout same. We already were gone by 2 hours when they requested checkout timeframe. Were texted to leave bedroom door open too late to do so. Neighborhood seems to be predominatly gay. We are NOT. Should be mentioned in advertising somewhere. Was unclear whether we were welcome to use common area or not. Place was clean. Showers/bathrooms nice
In town for Cubs game.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was nearly nonexistent. Arrived 20 minutes early. Texted owner and was told check in was 4:00, even though no one was there. Was told I could check in any time after 4:00, but wasn’t given access until 4:05. Room we stayed on was the 3rd floor. Room was very warm and could have used a ceiling fan. Breakfast was minimal and would have been a good chance to interact with the owner. Felt like owners wanted nothing to do with us.

Loved the space - it was like a private apartment with a living room, kitchenette area, bathroom, bedroom. Was promised a parking pass, which was never delivered. The closeness to Wrigley Field and Southport area was fabulous. Be prepared for night noise from nearby establishments - the owners are quite upfront about that. I (we) would definitely stay here again.

Hit the lottery!

I had my scheduled accommodation bail on me last minute- it was a real bummer because it had parking and was close to Wrigley (my destination). Luckily, I found Dorothy's Place open and I reserved it. I found parking right around the corner, and it was really easy to get in and out and around the town. It is located in Boystown, which was a fun and safe vibe. I never felt endangered and the room was AWESOME. I had the suite with the bathroom- it was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was like a 10 minute walk to Wrigley and all of the surrounding areas (I caught 3 games in my two nights!). I really felt like I had hit the lottery, not only because of the last-minute availability but because of the quality and the value. I would stay here in a flash if I were lucky enough to get back to the city!

My bestie and I had a wonderful stay when we came for the Stray Kids concert! Cute room, free breakfast in the building next door, and room service from Big Gay Sal's Pizza downstairs! So good and so fun! Would love to come back!

The area has a lot of fun nightlife and things to do, but it was surprisingly quiet in our room! The room itself was clean and felt quite private, despite being in the shared suite. All the other guests we met were kind and courteous too! We drove, and parking was somewhat difficult but the map provided showing parking rules for surrounding roads made that much easier! The only thing we didn’t love was the provided breakfast, my partner told me they would have loved for some sausage or eggs to be included.

I initially came up to Chicago from Indiana and had found this place to stay for my duration. The area was lovely, arrangements were excellent and I loved the cottage feel to the Bed N’ Breakfast next door. If I’m ever in Chicago for another concert or to see more of the place, I’m coming back to Dorothy’s.
