Cute bed and breakfast, you’re essentially renting a bedroom & bathroom. Very clean and pretty, easy to find and good parking. Jose was quick to respond to any questions and let us in. We didn’t use public transportation this trip but you are pretty close to the train. It was nice to have the fridge stocked with waters and things that you have access to 24/7 especially after coming home from a late night out. Definitely would stay there again, I don’t think it would be good for kids bc the rooms are smaller and it’s very quiet (good for us). Obviously a house so no gym or restaurant on site lol continental breakfast and coffee were good to take the edge off in the morning before going out to a later brunch

Comfortable. Good neighborhood. Friendly staff. Breakfast. My room was clean but a bit dusty. However, it seems to be an HVAC or maybe old carpeting issue.

Was very happy with our stay. Super quiet place and very comfy. Free parking was awesome and a 15 min walk to tons of restaurants. The room was very clean. My only little nit pick was the pillows were a little thin. The Girlfriend and I plan on coming back again next year!

If you're ever in Chicago and craving a quiet, tucked-away spot that still keeps you close to the action, The Sono Chicago might be your kind of place. It's nestled in Old Town, surrounded by tree-lined streets and that peaceful, residential vibe that makes you feel like a local. Let's talk rooms first. They're simple, clean, and comfortable—nothing over-the-top, but definitely a step up from your average hotel. The beds are cozy, the space is quiet, and everything feels fresh and well-kept. Just a heads-up: there's no elevator, so if you're hauling a big suitcase, you'll get a little workout. Now, breakfast, available from 8 am to 10 am, is continental, but thoughtfully prepared—think hard-boiled eggs, pastries, fruit, and good coffee. The shared kitchen and lounge area are a highlight, offering a bright, modern space perfect for relaxing or chatting with fellow guests. One of my favorite spots? The outdoor seating. It's the kind of place where you can sip tea, reflect, and feel like you're miles away from the hustle. The staff? Lovely. They're attentive without hovering, and genuinely helpful. Whether it's answering questions or ensuring breakfast is stocked, they have that warm, welcoming energy that makes a big difference. If you're looking for a peaceful, well-run place with a boutique feel and a great location, this one's worth bookmarking. Thank you for a wonderful time!
