Wow, how did I not know about this place sooner? I was greeted with a friendly "Sure!" when I asked if I could check in to my room a bit before 3pm (2:15pm). The room itself was very clean and comfortable, especially the bed. And free parking too (that's worth 30 or 40 dollars on its own!)? Yup, I had no trouble getting a spot a few doors down after returning from a night out at 11pm. This will definitely be the first place I check the next time I come to Chicago and need a place to stay.

Great location! Room was comfortable and clean. Worth noting that if you have heavy suitcases you’ll be needing to go up or down quite a few stairs.
I didn’t realize the owner lived on the property until arrival but that wasn’t disruptive at all.

I did not have a chance to try breakfast but I look forward to trying it out next time I’m in town. It smelled delicious.

Everything we expected and needed from a Bed and Breakfast. The room was well-equipped, plentiful continental breakfast, and hospitality from Addie was A++++. Excellent location - walkable to Old Town Wells Street shopping and restaurant area, the Chicago History Museum and Lincoln Park Zoo. Will definitely recommend and hopefully be back !!

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.

If I could give more stars I would. The room we stayed in was immaculate. The place was located juuuust outside the heart of Chicago so we could go into the city and then escape back when we were done. The breakfast everyday was cute and filling. Our host/owner who takes care of the place  was so kind and ontop of everything. And the rooftop view was BEYOND breathtaking. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting.
