"Sorry to have to give up on this hotel"
TripAdvisor user rating 2 out of 5
Reviewed October 22, 2025 NEW
Staff at the hotel are excellent. They are professional and caring. The staff in the restaurant are perplexing. I have stayed here for 5.years and the hotel staff has made me feel like family. Management has miss the mark. The hotel does not have the amenity package to support the price point. The one amenity they have, the restaurant, is poorly managed and perplexing. Can’t get food quickly. Does not open on the posted hours. Restaurant staff’s behavior borders on rude. Service can be incredibly slow. I will miss the hotel staff but I have given up on this hotel at the current price point.

"Our new Chicago home away from home."
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed October 15, 2025 NEW
Immediately impressed with our service as Chris and Jermaine welcomed us and checked us in, got us parked, and told us about all the amenities, of which there are many. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the pillows top notch. After a 4 hour trip in the car, it felts like being home. We will be back every time we are in town, and the hotel was well worth the price. The room was clean and we didn’t hear another person all night. Even with free record players and records. Overall 5/5 in every way.

"Perfect for U Chicago visit"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed October 15, 2025 NEW
Sophy-Hyde Park is a near-perfect hotel for our visit to U Chicago (we also stayed there for Northwestern tour). It's very convenient to get downtown with Lakeshore Drive right there. Also, if you need room snacks they have a very clean and maybe the largest Trader Joe's I've ever been to.
