I stayed at the Hyatt McCormick Place and was very impressed. The suite was beautiful, the views we outstanding. We were able to view a fireworks display at the Navy pier form our room on Saturday night - I wondered if Liz, the Guest Experience Manager, ordered that display for our party. Service was excellent, the suite was excellent and very roomy. The view of downtown Chicago and the lake were awesome.

The staff was great and helped us out by providing extra trash cans in the room. We had a get together at my suite after the graduation, 30 people and tons of food fit easily. The staff helped us transport the supplies and food in and out of the hotel.

It was an excellent location as I was attending an event at UoC. Access to downtown was very easy. I would very much like to stay here again. As a matter of fact, it was very hard to leave the room to head back home. LCD tv, great walk-in closet, nice living room area and very highly recommended!

I want to thank Liz and the staff for making my stay a memorable and enjoyable stay.

Let's just say the front desk cares what you think about the place. So...upper management is doing its job.

They take care of you when they mess up.

Part of me wishes that they didn't mess up.

The hotel plays the part however, it is 50 ft from the main lobby of the convention center. Beats the hell out of waiting for a shuttle.

other stuff: walls are waaaay too thin, business center is clean but a rip off

Almost Clean but great location

If the first room I checked into was clean I would have been happier--the location couldn't be better for access to McCormick Place.

The business center was useful, but I preferred the Kinko's in McCormick Place. I didn't take advantage of the Restaurants in the hotel--much prefer to check out some new places in Chicago.

Parking seemed a bit expensive and honestly, why can't the staff read? If the sign says entrance and exit to the parking structure... why would they block it off and allow people to almost get into accidents.

The room is modern but they should join the ranks of hotels providing free internet.

Hi Flyingpresenter,

Thanks for giving us such great scores in your estimation of us! I'm sorry to hear that your first room was not up to our Hyatt standard, but that we were able to recover for you and provide good service! I apologize that the parking garages at McCormick Place, including the hotel's parking garage are owned by the City of Chicago, so Hyatt is unable to control the managing our pricing of the garage. Thanks again for taking time out of our day to write your first TripAdvisor review about US!

Best regards,
Liz Finifrock

I attended the NRA trade show last weekend and stayed at this Hyatt for two nights. First, let me say that the public areas were very nice. The employees we came into contact with were FANTASTIC, especially at the front desk, housekeeping and gift shop/convenience store. Definitely a typical Hyatt experience - UNTIL you walk into the room. OMG. If you blindfolded me, took me into the room, took the blindfold off and asked me what hotel chain's room I was standing in I would have to say Holiday Inn. This is not to say that the Holiday Inn is in any way a terrible chain - but Hyatt standards are most definitely not met in these rooms. For the over $200 per night charged it doesn't even come close to being acceptable. The closet is even covered by a CURTAIN. There is no safe in the room (for a business hotel?), no magnification mirror (small annoyance), the towels were so thin and dare I even mention the toilet paper? I'm sure some prisons use softer toilet paper. Forget the coffee too - ugh, the room had the single serve piece of plastic junk coffee maker that drips out one cup of (horrible) coffee at a time in about 10 minutes. Most of the hotels at this price range also offer WIRELESS internet access (some without cost) but I was tethered to the desk and had to pay an additional $10 for 24 hours of internet access (or take my laptop over to the convention center where it is FREE).
If you HAVE to stay here, it is convenient to the convention center and the rooms are kept very clean by a wonderful housekeeping staff.
Perhaps it is because I am used to our Florida Hyatts that are impeccable and luxurious that I am aghast at this particular location. I saw many hotels in the downtown area that would put this hotel to shame - and it would cost the same to take a cab out to the convention as it did to take a cab out of the convention area to downtown (where there is absolutely nothing to do after the convention closes each day). If you have to pay more to stay downtown it would be well worth it - IMHO.
Frankly, this should not be called a Hyatt - nice standard hotel, but not Hyatt.

Hi PinOutlet,

Thanks for taking the time to share your comments. I'm sorry that our guest rooms did not meet your expectations. I will share with you that our ownerships has an expansion in the works at which time we will be renovating all the guest rooms. I also completely understand your annoyance with the wired Internet, and we are in the process of moving to a wireless provider. We have rooms with safes available, however they are not in every guest room. I will speak with my Housekeeping Manager regarding the toilet paper and the towels as it seems some towels clearly need replacing. I wish I had been able to speak with you while you were here, and fix these issues for you! Thank you again for your valuable comments.

Best regards,
Liz Finifrock
