Pros: Absolutely LOVED the Sono! Joy was one of the most personable, welcoming and warm hosts that we have ever had during a hotel/B&B stay. She took great care to make sure everything was set for our check-in. She even surprised my husband and me with an upgrade to a king room for free! The house is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful views of the city and a peaceful interior ambience. Got a wonderfully comfortable night's sleep and very much enjoyed the wholesome full breakfast. Did I mention the parking is free?? Wish we had more days to stay. Would love to stay again if we have the opportunity to return to the Chicago area in the future.

Pros: Sono Chicago is beautifully designed and furnished—with a gorgeous, open space where people can comfortably gather for a delectable breakfast in the morning. Also a cozy sitting area and lovely back deck, and rooftop outdoors area. Joy is a welcoming and lovely presence and she puts out a terrific breakfast spread each morning. People who come here often have been here before (because, basically, this place is so nice, who wouldn’t want to come here again and again?) and there is an easy, enjoyable flow of conversation at breakfast in the morning. My room is very comfortable and well furnished. All of the accoutrements here are extremely high quality and well designed. My bedroom isn’t huge, but it’s size is amply made up for by its top quality furniture and bed with a mattress that lulled me into the deepest sleep in a long while—very cozy! The bathroom, with its gorgeous large glass surround and practically sky high ceiling, is impeccably clean and appointed. The brownstone neighborhood here on N. Cleveland is safe, welcoming and perfect for walkers—right near Old Town and Lincoln Park. Apparently, the Sono was built from scratch in 2016 and whoever designed it has a flair for creating warm, lush beautiful spaces and certainly didn’t stint on quality. This is my first time here at Sono Chicago—and I am already looking forward to staying here again!

Pros: I loved my stay at The Ambassador! It felt like home! The staff is so friendly and helpful, and the hotel is small, so I think every guest feels special. They have a lovely lobby, and a comfortable place for breakfast and snacks - The Library. The hotel has a very luxurious feel, and is a great bargain, if you ask me! The room is very comfortable and spacious, and super-clean! And it’s a wonderful location. You can’t miss the lower level, where framed photos of all of the celebrities who dined at the legendary “Booth Number One” in the famed restaurant of the hotel, The Pump Room, line the wall. A special Shout Out to Sylvia (The Library) and Ishmael (Doorman, concierge, Bellman and anything a guest needs!): They were especially awesome!

Pros: The location is nice for walking to restaurants and shops, it truly is a nice area to stay in. Lobby was beautiful.
Cons: They would not give me rooms with 2 double beds without assessing a 35.00 per room per day upcharge fee. I had one manager take the charge down to 20.00 extra each room and another manager who took the fees off completely of one room. NOT HAPPY!!!
