Nice stay. Short and sweet. Will definitely be back if I stay in the area again.

Would not provide our party with the free breakfast evev though i was a member

Front Desk staff need to be trained in customer service and priority. They couldnt find my reservation during check in under my name, had to find my confirmation number or they could not check me in. Coffee service ends at 10 am I came down at 10:30am and was told I had to pay for coffee until i made it a point that i am a paying customer. Upon check out, clerk decided to ignore me and sign for a UPS package. Wont be staying here again after 2 previous stays.

Staff were great, room was great, pool is small and shallow, fitness center is nice, breakfast was poorly laid out.

Hotel front desk staff was not always available immediately; often left their post for a few minutes. Breakfast food was disappointing for a major chain hotel. Hotel shuttle was very helpful and available. Room was fine and clean.

This is my 3rd stay at the Hyatt. I had my birthday party during this stay and it was everything I was looking to happen and everyone enjoyed the party.

Bathroom was disgusting. Not clean, hair everywhere. Rest of room was clean and great for the price.

It is a good hotel, within walking distance to the U of Chicago main quad. The room was good but the WiFi was completely unusable. Whole Foods is around the corner.

After a long flight and wild taxi ride, I was happy to find myself in my room within a few minutes of arriving at the hotel. As a lone female business traveler, I am always concerned about nearby food options and was happy to find many in the Hyde Park area, in particular a Whole Foods less than a five minute walk away. Having a refrigerator in my room for my purchases was a huge plus. I like that my room has a sofa sectional. This allowed we to camp out with my laptop and get some work done while watching some TV. Just like home.

We stayed at this hotel for one night but had a great time!

Very helpful staff. Great shuttle service. Decent food options.

Breakfasts were excellent, staff was friendly, and local shopping and restaurants were conveniently close by

This is a nice hotel around Chicago area. The night that I stayed was quite. The room was spacious. There is no street parking. You have to do valet parking or the public parking at the opposite corner of the hotel.Other than that everything was nice.

I've stayed here several times and really like it. The staff are helpful. The rooms are great, and the location is perfect for me.

Clean and comfortable in the heart of Hyde Park Chicago

Pleasant and helpful staff. P Perfect location for our evenf

Nice new hotel. Comfortable, large room. Helpful staff, would recommend to a friend.

Hyattplace hotel is very good becasue of its excellent service although not cheap. However, it is worthy of consumption. For a foreigner consumer, I have very good experience as before in my homeland. In addition, very beautiful lake is very closed to hotel which attracts a lot of visitors and tourists of abroad. In one word, it is very great.

Awesome location! Surrounded by entertainment and excellent dining. Staff was absolutely incredible. See you guys this summer :)

Great hotel. Friendly front desk. Great room. But I did notice hairs in the bathtub...not sure why it wasn't cleaned properly. In the morning, the maid service was not friendly at all. Other than those 2 things, I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel.
