Very clean, Friendly staff. Nice location . Did not like that in order to turn the bathroom light on, the main bedroom light also had to be on at the same time. This was difficult for middle of the night runs to the bathroom.

My stay at Sophy was amazing and the staff was so welcoming and made you feel at home. The rooms are very clean and the setup of the room just blew me away. The area is walkable and have a variety of food options and transportation available. The interior and exterior decorating of this hotel is beautiful. The next time I am in Chicago, Sophy will be my first choice. I would like to thank the staff of Sophy Hyde Park for their kindness and just making my stay wonderful.

Will totally stay here again.

Hotel and staff are great. Really appreciate folks who pay attention to every last detail. Completely polar opposite to most interactions I experienced in Chicago (my hometown). I’d seriously recommend this property to anyone interested in staying in Hyde Park. Only downside (through no fault of the hotels) is the price of Ubers to get downtown and north. But proximity to Metra is definitely a plus. Starbucks and Harold’s Chicken within walking distance, top shelf property in my book.

The staff is very nice and helpful. They let us stay around for work in the lobby after we checked out. The area does not seem to have a lot of dining options. The traffic to the airport is so congested but overall this property is very nice in this area if you wanted to visit university of Chicago

Very poor customer service from staff

I needed to change my reservation about a month before my arrival. Hotels.com had to facilitate this, because I was unable to do it in the app. They assured me that I would only be charged for the updated reservation. Unfortunately, once I arrived, my stay was just a non-stop series of errors, resulting in a terrible experience and additional charges that were almost impossible to get fixed. I will make sure that everyone that I know in Chicago stops recommending this hotel.
