The massive 82°F indoor pool with a glass ceiling and lap lanes
Serene 88-acre forest preserve setting with private hiking trails
Free self-parking (a rarity in the Chicago area)
快速了解: A mid-century modern time capsule that feels like a wealthy uncle's country club, though some corners are showing their age.
@thehonestpassport 的评论: I stayed in the Mies Suite and it was the perfect escape. The mid-century design is iconic, and having a spa, pool, and amazing restaurant on-site meant we never had to leave. Highly recommend for a recharge.
住过这里的客人说
The hype
Guests love the 'hidden gem' nature and the pool, but often describe the rooms as 'tired' or in need of a refresh.
Reality check
You might smell a 'musty' odor in ground-floor rooms or near the pool area.
You're a swimmer (the pool is legit)
You're visiting McDonald's corporate alumni or Ace Hardware HQ
You want a quiet, nature-filled escape near the mall
清洁与维护
8.5
Housekeeping: Generally good daily service, though some long-term dust in corners reported.
Bathroom hygiene: Clean but dated; grout lines in older showers show age.
Maintenance: The 'tired' factor is real—worn carpets in hallways and scuffed furniture are common.
Linens & towels: Standard Hyatt quality—clean and crisp, no major complaints.
Odors & scents: Ground floor and pool areas can smell humid or musty; upper floors are fresher.
