𝐅𝐀𝐐𝐬

𝐐: 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞?
A: Very much so. 24 hours a day.

𝐐: 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆?
A: Getting here is easy via public transit! If you’re bringing a car, you’ll have one free parking spot waiting for you right behind the building.

Need extra parking? You can easily find nearby options through SpotHero or SpotAngels (around $10–$20/night).

𝐐: 𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐬, 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐲𝐞𝐫, 𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐬?
A: Nope! we provide all these things. We also provide you with a starter pack of toilet papers.

𝐐: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭?
A: Check in is 4pm and check out is 10am. Early check ins can be difficult if there are guests who checked out same day. We ask for an early check-in, or a late-check out fee, if you request either.

𝐐: 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐨 𝐚𝐬 𝐈 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞?

𝐐: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭`𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞?
A: We honestly have no idea. With fees included, it only shows the guest how much they pay. This figure should be present after you enter your dates. Note that, pricing varies on a daily basis, and it actually uses some crazy algorithm to adjust it automatically, so I don`t actually control this.

𝐐: 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞?
A: Very. Some guests say they`re the best they`ve ever slept on!

𝐐: 𝐋𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩-𝐨𝐟𝐟/𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞

Guest Verification
As part of our vetting process, we may ask guests to confirm a few details — such as their names, ages, where they’re traveling from, or their travel plans — before accepting a booking. In some cases, we may also request a valid government-issued ID for verification purposes. This helps us ensure that all stays are safe, transparent, and in line with our house policies.

Unresponsive Guest
In some cases, if a guest does not respond within a reasonable period, we reserve the right to cancel the reservation.
For same-day bookings, this timeframe is up to 2 hours or less. For all other bookings, this timeframe is up to 8 hours. This ensures that we can provide the best experience and availability for all our guests.

Online Check-In & Rental Agreement Required
Before receiving check-in instructions, all primary guests must complete our online check-in form and review/sign our rental agreement. This helps verify guest details and ensures a smooth, secure arrival.

EXTRA GUEST CHARGE
The base price covers 4 guests. For more than 4 guests, there is an extra guest fee of $10 per guest for the full number of nights.
Example: 1 extra guest for a 5-night stay = $10 × 5 nights = $50.

Refundable Security Deposit: A $300 refundable security deposit is required and will be `held` or `authorized` (not `charged`) by Chicago Hospitality Club on your card. Any property damage or extra charges may be deducted from the deposit. VRBO collects platform payments/charges separately, while Chicago Hospitality Club handles the deposit, so seeing both on your statement is normal. The deposit is automatically released 3-7 days after checkout.
