Old Chicago Inn's Cancellation Policy
We require a two week notice of cancellation to avoid penalty. Cancellations made within 14 days of a check in date will be charged for the full stay unless we are able to resell the room (s) for the date (s) reserved.
A no show, no call guest will be treated as a cancellation and charged the full amount.
Requirements at Check In
All guests are required to present a valid government issued form of identification at check in. Accepted forms from US residents are State issued driver's licenses, state issued ID cards, or a US passport. International travelers will be required to present a passport. You may be asked to sign a credit card authorization form and/or guest registration form.
Limitations
Please understand that while we wish we could meet every need, as a small bed and breakfast in a building over 100 years old, we have limitations in our accommodations. The Old Chicago Inn does not have an elevator and is not handicap accessible.
Travelers with disabilities, special dietary concerns or severe allergies should contact us to see if we are able to accommodate your specific needs or if you would be more comfortable in another facility.
Maid Service
The Old Chicago Inn does not provide daily maid service in rooms, unless by special arrangement. Charges vary depending on the season and room. Bed linens are changed every 3 days for extended stays. Fresh towels are available at any time by request.
Parking
We encourage our guests to visit sans automobile. Our location, just one half block form the "el," and our neighborhood plentiful with taxis, gives the traveler little need for a vehicle. If you must bring a car we are happy to provide you with residential permit passes. Please understand that these are only provided to registered guests staying in our home. While we may advise you on where and how to park , you do so at your own risk. We will not assume any liability for vehicle damage, theft, tickets or tows.
Check In and Check Out Times
Check ins are permitted from 3 pm until 11pm. Check out time is daily at 12 noon. We are happy to accommodate early or late arrivals when possible. Please make the necessary arrangements at the time of your reservation.
Children and Pets
Children under the age of 18 are welcome. However, please understand that the Inn may not be appropriate for some younger guests as we have many antiques and are by no means "child proof". Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times when staying at the Old Chicago Inn.
Well mannered, quiet dogs are welcome in certain rooms, and are considered individually. To consider your pet we need to know the age, size, breed (we love the mutt variety), and will need proof of current vaccinations. We ask that dogs not be left unsupervised in guest rooms unless kenneled and quiet.
Smoke Free Facility
In an effort to maintain a healthy, clean and comfortable environment, the Old Chicago Inn is an entirely smoke free facility. A $200 cleaning charge may be assessed in instances of violations.
Our Unique Urban Setting
The Old Chicago Inn is in a vibrant city neighborhood in an area of mixed commercial and residential use. If you are a light sleeper, need to get to bed early or are not used to city noises please let us know. Each room is different, some offer more privacy and solitude while others may have amenities or features that set them apart. Our building is over 100 years old and it is not uncommon to hear a few creaks here and there. You will be staying in a home with other guests, not a vanilla box. We recognize that we may not be the best place for every traveler but know that most will love our home like we do. We encourage you to call, we are happy to take the time to answer your questions and match you with the best room for your needs based on our availability.
