I'm torn about the rating to give to University Quarters. It's a nice place to stay, and I'd have given it four or five stars if it weren't for an issue of deceptive advertising. I gather that in the past they used to serve breakfast, but now guests are expected to help themselves in the kitchen from a selection of... More

Thank you so much for the helpful comments and your very kind words about our B&B. You are correct in noting that our choice of language on our website may not make clear that we now offer a generous, self-serve selection of food and beverages, available both at breakfast and throughout the day. We are changing the language on our... More

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!

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

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.

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.
