"This mugginess is hard on us California wimps. Your shower, Jacuzzi tub, and aromatherapy oils were fantastic refreshers after long museum walks. And the steam in the shower was just the answer for the achey muscles."

"Enjoyed my brief stay. Wish it could have been longer ... Loved the multi-head shower spray. What a treat! Next time I'll do the steam bath. Everything I needed was provided."

"Thank you for a wonderful stay. This is obviously a labor of love for you in addition to your business, and your efforts are apparent."

"We enjoyed our entire Chicago experience, especially our comfort at the China Doll. There was so much to do throughout the city, but it was great for the kids to unwind at 'home'. We will be back!"

"Your hospitality was kind, but not intrusive. We would love to take the kitchen and bath home with us! Your location in the city is perfect and enabled us to leave our car parked and walk most of the places we wanted to go."

"This 'home away from home' is even better than home in some respects – the fridge is fuller, the electronics are more comprehensive ... that office is amazing!"

"Thank you for your thoughtful hospitality. Our 30th anniversary was perfect! We're anxious to book a return visit."

"Truly wonderful place – all the comforts of home – made a hectic work week relaxing! Definitely stay again!"
