This a bed and breakfast. New construction in an otherwise historic neighborhood but it blends in nicely. No elevator so expect to go up and down stairs. Breakfast is not freshly cooked but is an attractive buffet available over 2 hours with cereal, warmed pastries, boiled eggs, cheese, yogurt, berries etc. Rooms large with good sized bathrooms, tall ceilings, quiet. Street parking seemed to be easily available with permit.

It was a fabulous stay! Adi the host was just delightful, caring and very respectful of the space. Breakfast was delicious. The common space was perfect and we enjoyed sitting on the patio also. The location to walk around the area was so easy in Chicago. The other house guests were also very easy to be with and all just got along well. We would love to come back and stay again. Thank you !

Great Old Town Experience
It was really great. Perfect distance from Zanies and Second City. The manager was great, the set up was well done, and very clean. All the things I was seeking for a weekend getaway with my fiancé at the pace of a bed and breakfast in Old Town District was here. Definitely would return for this experience!

It was lovely! Beautiful house. The bed was so comfortable. The room was small but very inviting. Besides we were gone almost the whole day and didn't need room for much more than a bed. I would visit again.

This is not a hotel
I'm not quite sure how to review this property. It was nice, clean, the person I dealt with for check in was very gracious accommodating my late arrival but this is not a hotel. I would more appropriately categorize it as a very nice boarding house with limited parking not close to much. In the house like setting, it felt like sneaking to go down to the kitchen to get a water from the fridge and an apple from the counter basket. I'm pretty sure I will never stay at Sono again but that's not because it isn't a nice property for what it is.

Great staff, very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was great. Nice size room and the shower was great. Only recommendation is don’t stay in the basement room, you hear all the food steps (kitchen/dinning area over the room).

Beautiful home! Clean & comfortable. Adie & staff very hospitable and helpful. Accommodating, yet not intrusive, very respectful of privacy yet warm & welcoming. Breakfast is light, yet sufficient. We would definitely come back & stay. Free parking a definite plus in Chicago. Easy access to all areas of town.

Sono is a 5 minute walk from the Metro Brown Line and only 10 minutes from downtown via the Metro. Safe neighborhood. Rooms were a little cold and noisy but very clean and the small hotel had an excellent continental breakfast. The manager, Addie, was always very pleasant and helpful. We will stay there again and highly recommend the hotel to others.

Great Value, Space and Service
Our last minute trip to Chicago for a family reunion got off a perfect start here at The Sono. Although we arrived in a snowy thunderstorm (who knew that was even a thing?) the on site manager, greeted us and oriented us to the place. More like a home, or moderne bed and breakfast, the Sono is located in a residential Old Town neighborhood with ample street parking; a permit from the innkeeper and reading the signage secures a safe place to leave even a loaded rig (which ours was, pending an extended road trip home). Rooms were well appointed, everything fresh and clean throughout the property with a huge kitchen/dining/sitting area, large rooms (mine had a balcony), fully updated bathroom, and reliable fast wifi. Bed was huge and comfy, and coffee scent filled the place early so I took advantage of the living room to get some work done before continental breakfast was served. But this was the highlight, a wide spread of croissants, muffins, toasts, jams, spreads, hard boiled eggs, breakfast meats, yogurts, fresh berries, granolas, oatmeal and cereal makings were plentiful, along with coffee, tea and six different kinds of milk, plus juice. The self-serve meal is curated by the same terrific staffer, who replenishes the foodstuffs and is a quiet presence to permit the congenial vibe of fellow travelers sharing space and comparing their planned activities in the Windy City. A better place, for a competitive price, with 'home away from home' vibes, one cannot find.
