What reviewers say

Some guests found the value for the price to be good, with one noting it was a good room for the price and a reasonable walk to the beach. However, a significant number of visitors reported extremely concerning experiences with a mandatory, non-negotiable cash deposit of $300 or $500 requested through Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal, which was not disclosed at booking and often led to their reservation being cancelled without refund.

About this place McCormick Place Guest House

McCormick Place Guest House is a small guest house at 3643 S Indiana Avenue in Chicago's Bronzeville neighbourhood. It is a mainstream property listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue. The name reflects its pitch to convention-goers: McCormick Place is a few minutes' drive north, and the Green Line runs nearby for trips into the Loop. Northalsted (Boystown), the city's main gay district, is a longer ride north. Reviews are mixed at 3.8 from about 230 guests, so read recent ones and confirm parking and check-in arrangements before arrival.

Utter scam. $500 cash deposit through zelle for "family and friends"??? Also hung up on me every single time. They cancelled the reservation without my authorization and never refunded.

Extremely concerning experience. After booking, the property demanded a $300 deposit via Zelle and explicitly refused to accept credit cards. They also required a copy of my ID by email before providing check-in access. None of these requirements were disclosed at the time of booking. Requesting off-platform payment methods like Zelle (especially “friends & family”) removes all consumer protection and is not standard practice for legitimate hotels. Refusing normal payment methods and asking for personal ID over email raises serious safety and security concerns. I was not comfortable proceeding under these conditions and could not stay here. I strongly advise others to be cautious and clarify all payment requirements in advance.
