Announcement from Ray’s Bucktown Bed and Breakfast.

 Due to the Coronavirus crisis and Illinois’s ban on food service, and most importantly to protect the health of our guest and staff, we are temporarily shutting down for at least 45 days. Unless there is some miracle, we will most likely have to stay shut down until the coronavirus infection numbers start going down (45 days is the most optimistic number I have heard). The moment we feel it is safe to reopen we will be implementing the extra safety & sanitation procedures outline below. 

We wish to encourage everyone to please be safe for the safety of everyone you know — SOCIAL DISTANCE, AND ENCOURAGE EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO SOCIAL DISTANCE. We will be answering phone calls & responding to messages daily, so if you have any questions feel free to call us at 773.384.3245.

Extra safety & sanitation procedures once we reopen:

-Staff will be required to take their temperature before coming in to work

-Hand sanitizer stations are set up throughout all common areas

-We will sanitize all door knobs and hand rails every day

-Breakfast will be served at 4 separate tables in the house and can be delivered directly to your room at request.

Our standard thorough room cleaning has always received the “extra” sanitizing that is making the news — sanitizing TV Remotes, light switches and door handles. 

We urge you to support small local business during this time – we are in this together. Gift Certificates are available and we encourage you to buy gift certificates from your local small businesses in your home town.  

Ray’s unique Bed and Breakfast in the heart of Chicago’s Bucktown / Wicker Park / Logan Square neighborhood welcomes everyone, whether in town for work or play. Modeled after small European hotels and spas, the Bed and Breakfast has 11 rooms with private bathrooms. We are kid friendly, dog friendly, and heck, just friendly in general.
