Lovely hotel in a wonderful area. Walkable with many restaurants and amenities nearby including an art gallery and a state-of-the-art workspace. The hotel staff members at Hyatt Place are kind and friendly and they will tell you where to find all the good food. Uber from ORD will cost around $50 midday on Friday. Great place to stay.

Family Friendly World Class Staff

The staff was amazing! DJ went above and beyond to solve a booking issue created by the booking site. Brian made sure that check in was smooth and easy. The system hadn't saved the changes DJ established and Brian swooped in and fixed everything. The location was right off 94 so super easy access and less then 10 minutes into downtown. Breakfast was a such a good variety of choices and my children loved it! From the staff to the spacious rooms to the great breakfast... no fault found. 100% recommend!!!!
