    All good except no elevator

    This was a weekend getaway and we found the perfect place. We had one of the rooms with the balcony and the king bed. Amazing. We sat out on our balcony watching the goings on along the street sipping our wine. The morning brought with it fresh coffee with all the fixings and amazing croissants. Yes...eat the croissants! This little gem is quiet and comes with free parking which is never found in Chicago. The parking was street parking but we always found a spot easily. We saw some fellow guests taking Ubers places and there is a brown line train close by. We are walkers so mostly walked where we wanted to go. Oh, and the shower was wonderfully roomy, hot and with a high shower head. There are stairs - no elevator. We will go back!!

    Breakfast is basic but adequate. Hard boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit, pastries.

    Outstanding, newly renovated room part of like 8 units in the building. Comfortable bed, clean, smelled nice, spacious shower. Neighborhood felt safe a short walk from Old Town Chicago. Only stayed one night so could not enjoy all that was offered!

    Excellent experience at Sono Chicago! Everything felt like it had personal attentive service in a cozy bed and breakfast atmosphere! Beautiful rooms and located in a nice quiet area, with plenty to do within walking distance. Will definitely stay here again for future visits to Chicago, thank you!

    We stayed for one night and the accommodations were perfect. The bed was comfortable and room was clean. The breakfast was very nice and we ate out on the terrace. Highly recommend!

    Excellent, comfortable stay. Love the kitchen and snacks out 24/7. Beautiful rooftop views. Extremely comfortable bed.

    We stayed at The Sono for three nights recently while visiting our son who lives in Lakeview. We stayed in the deluxe King room which was great - Large room, bathroom and nice porch. The location is good, just a 7 minute walk to the Brown line and a 12 minute walk to the Red line. Both walks felt safe at night. You are also a 15 minute UBER from downtown. The breakfast room was very comfortable with many places to sit including a table, lounge area with TV, or outside in a nice shared patio. Food options were good - yogurt with fruit, pastries, cereal, toast/English muffins......but it's not a hotel breakfast (no eggs, pancakes....) The entire place was extremely clean including our room and shared spaces. The TV comes with many streaming options - we even found live sports on HULU. I was a bit nervous about this being a B&B and the neighborhood location. But the neighborhood is safe and quiet, and the amenities are top notch. We will definitely stay here again, and I would recommend this place if you are visiting someone in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, or Old Town. **Free parking on the street worked perfectly.

    We loved staying at the Sono, our first time. The street is really lovely and quiet, and we could park right out front with the permit provided. Lovely spaces, including our balcony, the kitchen area and the rooftop. Will definitely stay here again.

    There is no elevator so walking up and down 3 or 4 stories multiple times during our stay. Would do it again though.

    The staff was super friendly, the room was clean, and the common area was super nice and breakfast pastries were delicious. Nice neighborhood close to the salt shed. the only thing I did not enjoy were the pillows. all were very flat. :/

    5 stars! Highly recommend.

    This is one of our favorite places to stay in Chicago. The parking is relatively easy, and you can leave your car there and walk to public transportation. There are also lots of dinner options within walking distance. We love heading to the rooftop with our bottle of wine. There are snacks upon arrival and a modest breakfast. Can't really think of anything. We book here whenever it's available.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Close to some great places to eat locally and about an hour walk to river and central business activities......and a very comfy bed!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Superb

    We loved the location, the value, the simple, but delicious breakfast, the staff, the rooftop terrace, and the intimate nature of the property. Nothing!
