    it's more than just an internship


    Loyola Limited is Loyola University Chicago’s undergraduate student-run and managed business enterprise. Strictly undergraduate, Loyola Limited looks to give students more than just a typical internship experience. By empowering students to run and manage their own businesses,students obtain the hands on business experience and knowledge that enables them to be prepared for their careers post graduation.

    Established in February of 2010 by six undergraduate students, with the vision of creating several student-run and managed businesses around campus, Loyola Limited opened The Flats at Loyola Station in July of 2010. The Flats at Loyola Station is the first undergraduate student-run and managed guesthouse in the United States.

    Following the success of The Flats, Chainlinks, a bike rental and repair business, launched in August of 2011. Felice's Roman Style Pizza, the only student-run pizzeria in the nation, followed soon after. Opening in February of 2012, Felice's is Loyola Limited's third business in its porfolio.

    The ongoing and current success of Loyola Limited is due to its current employees, active alumni, and members of Loyola University Chicago who continue to live, support, and believe in this experiential learning opportunity for Loyola's undergraduate students.

    Frequently Asked Questions



    What time is check-in? Is it possible to have an early check-in?
    • Check-in is at 4pm. Early check-in is possible, but it is dependent on the status of your room. We want to make sure your room is thoroughly cleaned, and ready to welcome you! So, please shoot us an email to request an early check-in for your reservation.

    What time is check-out? Can I have a late check-out?
    • Check-out is at 10am. We ask that guests make an effort to checkout by 10am, as our cleaning crews will come in shortly after. Similarly to early check-in, though, you can request a late checkout. It is important to request for a late check-out no earlier than two weeks and no later than 5 days before your arrival. We’ll make sure to do our best to accommodate your request.

    What is included in the unit?
    • Our units are all themed and come with incredible amenities. Each unit is equipped with full sized GE stainless steel appliances including: refrigerator & freezer, oven, stove, microwave, sink, and dishwasher. Each kitchen has granite countertops, a granite island with bar stools, and is stocked with a toaster, coffee maker, coffee, salt and pepper, paper towels, eating utensils, serving utensils, and pots/pans. Units also have a full shower/tub, toilet, bathroom sink, and in-unit washer and dryer. Additionally, you will find a sleeper sofa, arm chair, coffee table, a flat screen with full surround sound and cable TV in the living room. Bedrooms are furnished with a queen bed, dresser, and night stands. If you have any questions about room specifics, do not hesitate to contact us!

    Is there parking?
    • Yes, and it comes free with your reservation! Each unit is guaranteed one covered parking space, located on the ground floor of the parking structure directly behind our guesthouse.

    How early should I book my reservation?
    • Summers, especially weekends fill up pretty quickly, as do special Loyola events (graduation, move-in, move-out, Homecoming). It’s difficult to say how far in advance, but there’s no harm in making a reservation far in advance.

    What is the 24-hour hotline?
    • The telephone number provided with your check-in information is for assistance in emergency situations. This would include a problem with your room key, you can’t access the building on the day of your check-in, you can’t access your unit, something in your unit is non-functional or missing in your unit, or if you need extra sheets and towels. In a non-emergency situation, a Flats Team Member will assist you between 9am-9pm.

    How do I make a reservation?
    • Please visit our reservations tab on our website, and fill out the online inquiry form. Once you submit your dates and unit, we will confirm your reservation by sending you an invoice, lease agreement, and link to pay online.

    Cancellation policy?
    • You can cancel within 14 days of your arrival. After that point, we cannot refund your payment.

    When do I have to make a deposit? When must my final payment be paid?
    • A deposit on your unit of 25% of the reservation total must be paid within 48 hours of making your reservation. The rest of your payment is due 14 days before your arrival. Failure to pay your deposit or the rest of your payment within the stated period may result in losing your reservation.

    Can I make a reservation over the phone?
    • We do not take reservations over phone. From experience, we have found that keeping track of reservation information is much easier and more reliable over email correspondence with our Customer Relations Team.

    Who am I talking to on the Customer Relations Team?
    • As we are sure you’ve read, the Flats is run and managed by students at Loyola University Chicago. Pretty awesome right? The Customer Relations Team is a group of 3 full-time undergraduate students who are rockstars at managing being full-time students and providing our guests with exceptional customer service. They greatly appreciate your patience in making a reservation at The Flats at Loyola Station!
