    Sophy Hyde Park - Stay here!

    Hyde Park

    Sophy, built in 2018 to achieve LEED certification, features bold, colourful rooms with murals…read morebehind headboards. Even entry-level rooms have love seats and ottomans, inviting guests to relax and play records by local jazz artists on in-room turntables. Located in Hyde Park, a vibrant and underrated area, it's near the University of Chicago, the Museum of Science and Industry, DuSable Museum and upcoming Obama Presidential Center. The hotel celebrates the university's Nobel laureates and MacArthur geniuses, referencing music, literature, and science while serving as a lively community hub. The South Side hotel boasts a great art collection including originals by Lewis Altenbach, clever restaurant Mesler with modern southern flair, and a lively neighborhood, making it an absolute delight. Each room was stocked with a mini-fridge, coffee machine, record player with selection of Delmar Studios releases, leather bound now pad with pencil, robes and bottles of water. The lobby offers Seedlip spirit free infused lemonade, and fruit infused water alongside full bar and restaurant offerings. A very cozy place to be creative, write, think, ponder and muse. Looking forward to staying again for an upcoming event!

    I've stayed here four or five times, and the experience has clearly declined. My first two visits…read morewere great, the third was fine, but this most recent stay was disappointing. Parking is now a major issue--there's no dedicated option, and the hotel doesn't allow even a brief grace period to unload in their often-empty lot. The bell staff were also surprisingly rude about it. Amenities feel lacking for the price. There are no basic convenience items available, and there's no priority for hotel guests trying to get reservations at The Messler. The room itself had multiple problems. The furnace made loud banging noises every time it turned on (throughout the night), the shower gel dispenser didn't work and wasn't fixed after we reported it, and housekeeping didn't replace washcloths or send them up when requested. Individually these might be minor, but together--at this price point--they add up. The design touches are nice, but they don't make up for the lack of basic comfort and service. At this point, it feels like a budget version of a Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants.

    Douglas, Bronzeville

    I don't write reviews.. at all. But because of the terrible experience I had it's only right for me…read moreto leave a review to warn others. Honestly I don't even know where to begin, for starters Steve was a horrible tour guide. The tour was scheduled to start at 8:30am, that was with hotel pick up included. My friends and I didn't get picked up until 11:30am and it was a good thing that we went ahead and ate breakfast even though we were guaranteed to be taken somewhere to eat breakfast for the allegedly 8:30am start time. And even though for our party of 3 we were guaranteed a private tour, when we got picked up at our hotel there were two other people on the van, which thank goodness they were very pleasant. Steve tried to tell our party of 3 where to sit on the van instead of letting us choose where we would like to sit causing uncomfortable seating issues, so our party of 3 and the two other people on the van worked out our own seating arrangement. This seemed to have disturbed Steve to where he wanted to swap out vans. Even when everyone on the van said that we are all fine and comfortable with the seating arrangement we worked out and also the current van has better accommodations (charging ports, climate controlled, etc). This still fell on deaf ears because after about 1hr into the tour we got into a different van that was below expectations. Steve went on to show us places that we honestly didn't have no interest in seeing and these places wasn't mentioned being part of the tour. Steve had an issue when we asked questions, the tour wasn't engaging, Steve did a lot of talking and made the experience extremely boring. Also I believe Steve is hard of hearing as well which caused a communication barrier. The tour is supposed to be 4hrs and we were guaranteed to be taken somewhere for breakfast and lunch. So mind you we got picked up at 11:30am for the tour instead of 8:30am. Around 2:00pm everyone on the van was hungry as heck and Steve didn't want to stop for us to get something to eat. He went on saying that we have to have structure and there is a certain order that the tour has to be done, which was very contradictory when we was initially told that our requests will be accommodated. Steve proceeded to show us other places that we didn't care to see because we was extremely hungry. We asked several times if he can at least stop somewhere for us to get snacks but he ignored us. The last place we stopped at before we ate, myself and another person out of our group didn't want to get off the van to view whatever it was Steve wanted us to see which wasn't mentioned as one of the places that we would see when we booked the tour. So as Steve was helping the other people off the van and when myself and my friend said that we will stay on the van, Steve slammed the van door in our face while saying okay bye. We finally was taken to a soul food restaurant to eat, this was 1hr later and keep in mind the tour is 4hrs long. We was in the restaurant for about 1hr 20min. After we got done eating two of us (myself included) decided to just uber back to the hotel and not finish the tour because we just couldn't take it anymore, it was extremely boring and Steve was rude. The 1 person out of our group that did stay informed us that after we left the tour, Steve did not take them to Jennifer Hudson's child hood home, Kanye West child hood home nor Obama's house and that was because of time which that's all on Steve. So yeah, this experience was terrible and we basically wasted a great majority of our day for nothing.
