This bed and breakfast was an absolutely breathtaking gem that surpassed every expectation we had, delivering an experience that went well beyond what the photographs could capture. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the stunning beauty of the place, which seemed to offer everything one could possibly desire in a cozy getaway. The owners were the epitome of hospitality—warm, welcoming, and genuinely sweet—always ready to lend a hand with anything we needed, whether it was local recommendations or small touches to make our stay more comfortable. Their attentive care made us feel truly pampered throughout our visit. The location was another delightful perk, perfectly situated just a stone’s throw from a wide array of dining options, giving us plenty of choices to explore nearby restaurants and cafes at our leisure. It was the kind of place that makes you want to return again and again.

First time in a non-traditional hotel.

Our first non-traditional hotel stay. Great communication and Adie was extremely friendly and made sure we knew about the property and its location as we weren't from around the area. King bed room was clean and spacious with a huge shower and a balcony to sit and read. The free parking was a bonus along with the continental breakfast. Because of the small setting, we were able to meet some really interesting people from much farther away than we were. We really had a great time.

Our stay at The Sono was great! We were only staying a night and booked a queen room, and they gave us a free upgrade to a king room since it was unoccupied. The room was fantastic & clean, the breakfast was delicious with lots of variety and the voucher for free street parking made this the best option for our stay. I would definitely stay again.

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!
