Hyatt Place Chicago/Downtown - The Loop

I got to the hotel at 10am-5 hours before check in-to see if they would allow us to drop our bags off. The staff went one step further and upgraded our room so we could check on that moment. We had an amazing view and got to pick what floor we were on. When we were checking out they gave us free water bottles. Super friendly staff.

Very relaxing place to stay

The hotel served most of its purpose. We just wanted a reasonable place to stay close to Cadillac Theatre so after the show we could just walk back and relax with a few drinks. Check in was smooth and friendly. Our rooms view was a close up of the building next to us, but we knew that was a possibility thanks to past reviews. The nightstand had what appeared to be leftovers of a drink left before us and miscellaneous bits of things were strewn throughout the room and window ledge. The room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable enough. Hotel information was not easily found, in fact we gave up. We stopped for a drink at the hotel bar when we first got there. The bar is just inside the doors so it could get a bit chilly and the bar options seemed a little limited. FYI, small highball glass drinks were $10.50 each. The bar food fare was ok though. After the show we walked the block and a half through the continuous now legal skunk weed air (not the hotels fault) only to find the hotel bar was closed by 11:00PM on a Saturday night. Very disappointing, especially since there were no close by options for a relaxing couple of drinks. We didn’t use the valet and I got the impression they werent very keen on its use anyway. If I saw the sign right it was $66 a night. I used a parking app and paid $25. So, not too bad but in hindsight, I should have saved the money and just drove back home after the show.

Everything we needed it to be to make our Chicago trip amazing.

It was a quick trip with our kids. Service was great - great location to everything we wanted to do.
