Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago

Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago

10/10 Excellent
"My daughter and I had to find a last minute hotel when our flight at Ohare was cancelled. The Hyatt had a hotel shuttle and was close to the airport. Upon arrival we were assisted by Josh, his customer service was excellent. He provided us with maps and tips on where to go, what to see, how to get to the train (which is a less than 10 min walk from the hotel) and assured us that where we were going was safe and only cautioned us to avoid the red line train after 8 pm. We had a great time seeing the sights of Chicago and returned to the Hotel to have dinner which was excellent. Highly recommend this hotel."
