Issues with parking !!
The hotel was beautiful and very comfortable. Our check-in was fine, however, parking was a block and a half way (in a less than desirable area at night) and no valet service. I never use valet, however, with most hotels not having on site parking, I would have used valet for this one night stay. I paid for parking and received a QR code confirmation. I used that to enter the garage with no issues. When I went to check out in the morning, I stopped at the front desk because I couldn’t locate the QR code on my phone anymore. I had no email confirmation or text message confirmation. So I asked the front desk how I could exit the garage and she told me she couldn’t help because the garage is not part of the hotel. I’d have to take it up with them. She told me to see if they had a gate attendant to help Or I may have to pay again. I asked her if they would reimburse me and she said no because they have nothing to do with the garage. Luckily, I was able to get a Supervisor at the garage to help me (at 6 AM!), but she was not happy with me or the hotel! I stayed at another hotel in downtown Chicago where their parking garage was also not on site. They told me if I had any trouble with the barcode they gave me at the garage, to hit the help button for assistance, or make the payment and bring them the receipt so they can reimburse me. Why the Sophy hotel doesn’t have similar relationship, I don’t know. I was lucky I found someone to help me!!

Man, when I lived in HP 20 years ago, there were ZERO lodging accommodations swank enough to even touch the cuffs of the Sophy. I hope this hotel is here for the long haul. Well done.

Worth the expense. Lived in neighborhood many many years ago. Went back to celebrate anniversary and found this gem. The room was clean except rugs are showing their use and could use a good cleaning. Restaurant and bar were excellent. Amazing shower!!! Highly recommend.

Rooms are the nicest! Property very attractive and comfortable. Food in the bar/restaurant excellent! Staff needs to be better trained. Bar staff makes no eye contact, conveys no customer focus, denies access to seating requested with flimsy and inconsistent excuses. Staff at bar/restaurant just does not measure up to food! Who trained and selected them?

Love the vibe of this property. It's beautiful and captures the Essence and history of Hyde Park. The food was excellent. The service was good though there were times that the staff might be talking to each other alot which led to some service delays in the restaurant. Overall, I had an excellent stay and would stay again.
