WE ARE OPEN! (but with limitations until August 13)

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.

REOPENING INFORMATION:

PLEASE READ THE SAFETY GUIDELINES BELOW FIRST. IF YOU FEEL YOU CANNOT COMPLY WITH THEM PLEASE DO NOT BOOK A RESERVATION.

We are taking reservations now for bookings of two nights or more, BUT until August 13, we are only offering a limited help-yourself breakfast service (coffee tea, pastry, fruit & yougurt) and will be doing self-check-ins . We have lowered our prices $50 a night to reflect these changes. I or my manager will be available by phone to help with any questions or concerns.

SAFETY GUIDELINES:

To ensure the safety of our guest and staff, and to comply with City of Chicago and State of Illinois guidelines, and of course, as always, listening to facts and scientists such as Dr. Fauci, we will be implementing new safety guidelines & standards:

1) PLEASE TAKE THIS SECTION SERIOUSLY AND DO NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM TRY TO FIND TECHNICALITIES OR LOOPHOLES WHY IT MIGHT NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Guest with any Covid-19 symptoms, or recent contact with infected people will not be allowed to stay. If you have been tested and are awaiting results you will not be allowed to stay. If you have, within the last two weeks, done any risky behavior such as going to a crowded bar, parties or any event where social distancing and wearing of masks were not enforced you will not be allowed to stay. If you feel this Covid-19 thing is just a flu, a hoax or not as bad as certain people are trying to make it seem, you will not be allowed to stay. I simply cannot risk the lives of my guest and staff.

2) City of Chicago Emergency Travel Order. If you are from or have traveled to any of the states listed on the Chicago Travel Emergency Order (states that have high rates of Covid-19) you will not be allowed to book (except essential business travel).

3) Before you arrive, if anyone has symptons of Covid-19 please call and cancel your reservation. There will be no cancelation fees.

4) While you are here, social distancing and face mask will be required at all times while eating. If you are with people you live with, you will still be required to wear mask when other guests are in the room.

We hope you understand how these strict rules can slow the spread or Covid -19, stop the burden on our front line & medical workers, and possibly save lives. If not, may I recommend one of the other many fine options for lodging we have in the City of Chicago.
