When I first arrived at Bronzeville's 1st Bed & Breakfast, I knocked and knocked, but no one answered the door. I actually had to call the place from my cell phone to get someone to come open the place up for me. (I was extremely uncomfortable waiting outside to get in because it is adjacent to an abandoned building next to a vacant lot and on the opposide side is a liquor store with men hanging out in front. Across the street is an abandoned lot with more men idly passing the time. There was broken glass and empty bottles strewn about). When the employee showed me my room it was extremely small and frankly, dirty. I saw numerous spider webs in the corners and the bed wasn't even made. I waited until someone came up to the room to make the bed (and I noticed they did not even change the sheets; they just remade the bed). When I was checking out I told the manager how unhappy I was with the room, she replied that a number of famous people have stayed there and she offered me a discounted certificate to return. Even with a discount, I would not return to this establishment.
