The Roscoe House is the perfect place for your stay in Chicago! Remember though, with all this great access to city fun- you will be in the city, which means you will hear the train pass behind the house (3 lots over) and if the windows are open, you might hear the neighbors.

They are only good for one night, and if you do not enter the date and time in pen (careful not to smudge) you will be ticketed!!. Of course we have a laundry room and wifi. Have a baby? We have all the gear. Looking for something a little cheaper? We have another listing, equally as beautiful, just as close to the same great shops and restaurants.
