I absolutely loved this hotel. The aesthetic was so good and it was incredibly clean. The staff was very helpful, especially Sam and the two front desk gentlemen who checked us in. I truly can’t wait to stay here again. Good to know: The mattresses are medium to firm The doors do let in noise, in case you’re a light sleeper Offsite parking is very close

I visited with my gf for a birthday gift and we haven't been to the city in ages and the concierge Samuel had no problems helping us with our things and guiding us on fun things to do in the city.

My experience with the team at Sofy-Hyde Park has always been pleasurable. I have a great experience every time. They always make me feel like a member of the team, not just a guest. I'm particularly appreciative of team member Sam who I feel goes out of his way to make sure I have everything I need. It is people like him who's energy makes my time with strangers feel like I'm in a comfortable environment hanging out with good friends. Looking forward to future stays!!
