Overview

The Polo Inn Bed & Breakfast is a straightforward, 3-star B&B in Bridgeport on Chicago’s South Side at 3322 S Morgan St. Open since 1985, it operates out of a 1914 brownstone and is positioned about 3.5 miles from the Chicago Loop.

An on-site cafe/bar serves a complimentary, cooked-to-order American breakfast. Guest feedback also highlights hosted brunch experiences (including music-focused brunches) with friendly, attentive service and a relaxed pace that encourages lingering.

Best for

This B&B is best for travelers who want a small, characterful stay with suite-style space, since all four themed suites sleep 4–6 and include full-size refrigerators and free WiFi. It also suits food- and experience-oriented visitors who value an on-site cafe/bar with a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast and brunch events that guests consistently praise for service and atmosphere. With gated parking and proximity (about 3.5 miles) to the Loop, it can work well for short city visits where you plan to sightsee downtown but prefer a South Side neighborhood base.

Travel tips

Plan your sightseeing days around downtown museum clusters: the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planetarium are all roughly 4.6–5.2 km away, while Millennium Park/Cloud Gate are about 5.9 km away. If you’re driving, factor in the convenience of gated parking on-site, and note that some guests also report street parking as an option. For a more social on-property experience, check whether brunch events are running during your stay, as they’re a recurring highlight in guest feedback.
