If you're looking for something in Boys Town you could not ask for anything better, but with that comes challenges and parking and noise. There really is not parking provided but there is a parking permit available and then good luck finding parking anywhere nearby. It is a very nice facility and super clean. I thought the automated notices were a little gruff and not needed in the way they were written however they were very helpful and were very clear on the expectations. I would definitely stay here again, Even with the parking situation.

Leaking water everywhere in bathroom, super old gross towels, super old sheets and blankets that may or may not have been clean and washed, carpet on stairs 85 years old and not vacuumed, no working outlet to charge anything, felt like motel 6.

Proviso: You shouldn't stay here if you need accessibility options. However, it's a charming building and the rooms were pleasant. We didn't really interact with anyone - most of the check in was automated. Expect a basic, simple stay with a breakfast pantry that refreshes every couple of days.

Exactly what I needed. Just in town for one night to see a late show at the Metro. Everything was walking distance. Adorable furnishings, clean, pet friendly, great breakfast and patio at the sister accommodation next door and well priced. Loud bars close by, but, that was as described. My dog was not bothered. Thank you!

I liked the little area it was in and how homey it felt, however the parking was a nightmare. You are given a parking pass, but it’s almost pointless if you can’t find a spot. After over an hour of trying to find parking, we still had to get up at 7am to find parking again since it was a tow zone at that time. When looking for help on what the signs meant (we are new to the area), the staff we messaged for help was passive-aggressive. If you ignore all that, then it was plenty fine.

Cute little place with good vibes, in a great location! Will definitely stay again! The only issue I really had during my stay was that I ordered drinks using the room service feature, they charged my card but never brought the drinks. The owner did not seem too concerned or willing to look into it much when I brought it to his attention. Mostly friendly, but felt like maybe he was wanting to rush me out of there. We had booked a late check out as well, which we paid extra for. Housekeeping came into the room without knocking or anything, two hours before check out time. Was not a big deal but should have knocked. These are things that I am able to overlook, would still stay again!

Cheap hostel, fine if that’s your jam

THIS IS NOT A HOTEL. It’s not even a “Bed and Breakfast.” It’s a hostel made by taking a large apartment, filling it with secondhand mismatched furniture, and adding smart locks to the doors. 2 bathrooms are shared among everybody, along with a small kitchen and living/dining room. It’s completely unstaffed, and there’s a sign stating that if you want food, you can go to the pizza place downstairs. With that in mind, it’s mostly fine. The bed gets the job done. The cramped small room has only a TV and a small end table. The AC is cranked up high, and the extra blankets are all very stained and have holes. This was not properly listed and when I saw the owner there I mentioned that there was no mention of shared bathrooms. She got very defensive. Not a pleasant interaction. Not recommended unless it’s really cheap.

Loved Dorothy’s!

Fun little place! Great location, lots of fun things to do nearby. Parking can be a bit funky, as with any city. But easy to find, easy to get into, very clean and staff was very helpful.

Near Wrigley Field..but don't expect much else

Documents on how to enter the property were sent the day before we checked in..and that the access code would be available at 4pm. This was fine for the first step, but on the second, use of the access code was not listed so we couldn't get into the room. There was no one on site to help, everything was through WhatsApp. The room was small..the bed was flush against the window and i had to crawl over my husband if i wanted to get out. There were 2 shared bathrooms, not mentioned in the description. Nor was the two huge flight of stairs to get to the room. Breakfast is available, but we only tried once. After a waffle came out burnt (the iron looked like it needed a good clean) we went out to eat. It was close to Wrigley Field...one positive. All in all, really can't recommend staying here.

Great location to the Wrigley Field. That’s truly what we’re looking for. I did not realize that it was a communal bathroom, but I probably would’ve read what I was booking then I would’ve been aware of when I showed up.

Wrigleyville gem

We wanted to stay in Wrigley Field near the CTA. Dorothy's was a perfect choice for that. We were there two nights and appreciated having the studio apartment. Not only did we have an ensuite bathroom but also a large sitting room that included a table/chairs, fridge coffee maker and microwave. Plenty of restaurants to chose from. The downside for me was the noise from the pizza parlor downstairs and across the street. If you are a light sleeper, earplugs are advised. The staircase is steep and narrow. ( just so you know) Being there was a trip down memory lane. A fun stay for certain! Breakfast is next door and plenty of choices to serve yourself.
