It was a long time ago (2007 for the Marathon) but I am always wanting to return and visit/stay again.  The loft apartment is wonderful with great views and the breakfast is unbeatable. Note there are stairs if mobility is an issue.

Friends stayed in the guest house the same weekend and it was also well appointed and the perfect setting for a family/group trip.   I will be back!

One of my favorite things about visiting Chicago is being able to stay here. The atmosphere is so peaceful and welcoming. Both the loft and separate apartment are wonderful to stay in. When I leave I'm already thinking about my next stay.

The apt. Is clean, stocked with everything you need for your stay... including breakfast items to prepare.  Plenty of kitchen supplies for cooking, clean up as well as bathroom needs stocked.
The free parking is wonderful, great area for walking the neighborhood,  close to restaurants, and very drivable to downtown.
Reservations, check in and check out were accomodating and helpful.
I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our recent stay.

The setting and service is so lovely -- whether in the Loft Apartment, where breakfast is served to you and you can occasionally hear the monks chant, or in the Garden House, where your fridge is stocked with breakfast items and you have a lovely deck to sit and enjoy the sun, the Benedictine B&B is the perfect choice for travelers heading to McCormick Place who want to stay in a real neighborhood.

It's easy to get to downtown or the Convention Center by bus, and the White Sox stadium is within walking distance. There's a great coffee shop (Bridgeport Coffee), a great bar (Maria's), and great food options (Han 202 or Antique Taco, for example).

Be sure to take in at least one prayer service when there, even if you are not particularly religious -- the church is a beautiful and serene space, and the chanting is peaceful and soothing.

This B&B is a hidden gem.

Highly recommended bed and breakfast. Brother Ezekiel was very helpful with making our reservation and at check in. We stayed in the garden house. The refrigerator was fully stocked with everything needed to cook breakfast. There was way more food provided than we could eat in the two days we were staying. We even used it to cook dinner one of the nights.
