This is my go to hotel when in Chicago. It is located in the Hyde Park area and I have stayed at this hotel 4 times and will not stay anywhere else. The staff are amazing, the location works for me and there is plenty of restaurants as well as a movie theatre across the street as well as coffee shops and breakfast in the hotel. There is also a very well known cafeteria around the corner with great prices. Very clean and staff is very helpful and nice. Love this hotel.

The front decks staff were not that friendly. There were a lot of extra costs like parking that we did not know about parking in that area. Cost us about $50 just for one night. The train is pretty accessible, which was nice.

Checked in late at night and front desk worker was rude. Did not greet us at all and acted annoyed she had to do her job. There was a drunk person screaming in the lobby, the front door was broken, and someone was sleeping with a blanket on the couch in the lobby. Lots of drunk people trying to break into business across from the hotel. Parking was not convenient. We slept a few hours and left as soon as possible because my kids were terrified.

I was here with a friend whose daughter was receiving a special surgery at University of Chicago Hospital. It was an easy drive of about 5-7 minutes back and forth to the hospital so the Hyatt was definitely convenient. Parking here was $40 a night but again it was a very easy in and out when I needed my car. Lots of good restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, etc were within walking distance. We both felt safe walking around the neighborhood which was full of students from the University of Chicago.
