Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Location is unbeatable—literally around the corner from Au Cheval and Girl & the Goat
- Rooms are massive by Chicago standards, many with full kitchens and sectional sofas
- The third-floor lobby and outdoor terrace offer a surprisingly chill urban oasis
Hurtig oversikt: A polished, reliable basecamp for foodies that trades hotel glamour for practical comfort and thin hallway walls.
Gjennomgått av @BlueandWhiteEscapes: I honestly loved how much space we had here. The layout gives you actual privacy even with two beds, and having a full kitchen in the West Loop meant we could reheat leftovers from all the amazing restaurants nearby. Feels like a proper apartment.

Reality check

- You're planning to eat your way through the West Loop

Renslighet og vedlikehold
7.8
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Daily service is back, but reviews frequently mention missed dust and rushed jobs.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally good, though some guests report grout issues in older showers.
- Maintenance: Solid. The building is relatively new (2016), so major systems work well.
- Linens & towels: Standard Hyatt issue. Clean and crisp, but not luxury count.
- Odors & scents: Neutral. No heavy perfumes, but occasional hallway food smells from kitchenettes.

FAQ & Skjulte tips
Alt du faktisk vil vite før du bestiller.
Is the pool outdoor?
No. It is a heated indoor pool on the 3rd floor, but it has glass walls and opens onto a nice outdoor terrace.
Is parking really $72?
Yes, the valet is steep. Download the SpotHero app and book the garage at 110 N Carpenter (McDonald's HQ) for a fraction of the price.
Can I hear the train from my room?
If you are on the North side of the building, yes. It's a rhythmic 'whoosh' rather than a screech, but it's audible.
Is breakfast actually free?
Yes, it's included. Expect standard hotel buffet fare: scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, and a waffle maker. It's fuel, not a culinary experience.
How far is the United Center?
About a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute Uber. It's very convenient for Bulls/Blackhawks games.
Is the area safe?
Yes, West Loop is busy and upscale. Standard city awareness applies, but it's one of the safer, more walkable downtown neighborhoods.
Innsidetips
- ✨
The 'H Market' in the lobby sells local beer and wine 24/7 if you don't want to go out.
- ✨
There's a hidden 'library' nook in the lobby that's great for taking Zoom calls.
- ✨
Ask for a 'Corner Suite'—they often have a slightly larger layout that isn't always advertised online.
5 ting du bør vite før du drar
💡The elevators can be painfully slow during the morning rush.
💡The 'kitchenette' in standard rooms is just a microwave and mini-fridge; you need a 'Suite' for a stove.
💡Housekeeping is often 'light' unless you specifically request a full clean.
💡The lobby coffee is actually decent (La Colombe on tap sometimes), but runs out by 10am.
💡You can see the McDonald's Global HQ 'Hamburger University' from the north-facing windows.
