The Sono Chicago was a dream! Staff & Owner were friendly, accommodating, and gave great advice for dining & entertainment. Our bed was comfortable, bathroom was luxurious, and the balcony was fun for morning coffee. There is a nice rooftop area with seating and fire tables where you can relax/socialize. Parking was convenient and FREE! I def recommend The Sono Chicago!

Awesome!

It was very clean and tidy. When we needed new towels they were there. Halfway through our stay everything was deep cleaned. The owners were extremely nice and offered a wide variety for breakfast. Any questions we had were answered quickly and effortlessly. Our room was cozy and the upstairs roof patio had a view that was beyond breathtaking. The place is close to downtown and in a good area to go anywhere in Chicago.

A warm and welcoming beautiful place. The staff was outstanding; from carrying my heavy luggage up three flights to offering great places to eat to accommodating my arrival and departure. Highly recommend. With a spectacular view of the city the rooftop is not to be missed!

The Sono is a terrific property and highly recommended. Rooms are lovely, the common areas are outstanding, we enjoyed hanging out with our traveling group along with a frig stocked with waters. Breakfast in the morning is a really nice feature. The only drawback is the location in a largely residential area. Yet it is an easy walk or Uber downtown. I would highly recommend the property and special thanks to Addie.

Neighborhood gem

Perfect choice while in town for a nearby family wedding. On a quiet leafy street, two blocks off commercial North Ave. Three story walk-up row house, only a few rooms, full kitchen/living room where continental breakfast is served daily, or on back deck. Loved our balcony room, a spacious king. Clean and newly painted. Friendly helpful staff. Only issue could be the street parking - and you do need a car to get around. You’re in a residential neighborhood with a school across the street. Though we did walk to subway ten minutes away to get to Wrigley Field. Enjoyed our three night stay!
