The Breakfast Wasn’t FREE!! Did THEY miss giving ME my FREE BREAKFAST!!! Everything else was Amazing!! Thank you for Keeping it CLEAN, AFFORDABLE, SAFE and GOOD FOOD!! That’s a WIN
Chris and J were amazingly helpful when we arrived and helped take care of everything including parking, so ask they might have some available. Very walkable with lots of great food and shops and music!
I stayed at the Sophy Hyde Hotel four nights in October 2025 while attending a conference.
The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were welcoming from the start. My room was clean and modern, with a comfortable bed and a fantastic city view. This is my third time staying at this hotel, Overall, the hotel exceeded my expectations. Those breakfast pancakes yummy I’d definitely recommend it to business travelers and families alike.
Sophy is a beautiful hotel - our room was quiet, spacious and comfortable. My only criticism is that the restaurant closed at 9:30pm and the bar closed at 9:45pm which seemed very early on a Saturday night.
Hotel was very nice and clean also had good restaurants in walking distance.

What a pleasant surprise!! Our first time in the Hyde Park area and it was a hidden gem! We were here for ballgames at Rate Field and it was an easy uber ride. Would definitely stay again-and again!!!
