I registered too late for a dental society meeting. All the rooms at the Swissotel and the Hyatt regency were sold out. Parking in Chicago is expensive. I recommend contraction the property front desk for a small discount at the garage around the corner. We laughed when we saw how small the room was. It reminded me of Jake’s room from the Blues Brothers movie. But we would stay there again, no question. It was safe and clean.

Property was clean and everything did its job! However: - Housekeeping kept knocking on the door at 8am which was a bit too early for us (we later put DND but it’s odd to have housekeeping so early) - The breakfast offering could have been a bit tastier! - The room was a bit small but it wasn’t too much of a trouble

The room was very clean but extremely small. For a room with two queen beds meant for two adults and one youth, there was hardly any space to move around. Also, the room didn’t have a fridge, which was a bit confusing. Other than that, the service was excellent—the staff were super friendly, and the breakfast that was served was just perfect, with enough quantity for everyone.

The property is nice and seems to be well maintained and price is reasonable. It’s in a good location. However, the room was tiny, bathroom was cramped. If f you have more than two people in the room (I.e, any kids), there are better options in the area. Lots of hotels in this part of Chicago.
