Brrr Chicago! The Hyatt Regency O'Hare

Brrr Chicago! The Hyatt Regency O’Hare

Arriving into then hotel, I headed up the reception area. At the time I had arrived, the check-in area was quiet.

I was therefore seen to quickly, and was assigned a room in the block (and a double double, – this would be important for once as I would be bunking with a friend for a couple of days.

Don’t get any mucky ideas down the back. Oh fine. Have mucky ideas. They needed a place to crash, and I saw it as a chance to reduce the cash bill of the hotel.

I don’t object to that – it’s good to share time with friends. The fact we were pretty much on the same schedules and such meant there was no awareness or such.

As to the room, I was back in my home of the 10^th floor; facing towards the CTA station and with a good view of the inbound traffic to O’Hare… and the parking lot.

… and the planes wizing past.

The room itself… Well I’ll be honest – it hasn’t changed much since I first started coming here. Whilst the rooms are fine, they are becoming a little dated now with its interior.

At least the interior is still of a reasonable standard and well maintained.

Hyatt have tried to keep up, with the addition of a white noise machine as well as all the usual facilities a Hyatt Regency guest room has.

The bathroom had a bath it (a useful feature of the double rooms – the king sized ones only have a shower (and a pokey sized one at that)

It’s not bad – not in the least. It feels the rooms could do with a mod-life update though.

Supplies were replenished in the bathroom over the weekend, and the upkeep of the room was spotless – as I expect Hyatt to do.

However, as usual – there were things to be done at this hotel. The convention centre staff at this hotel really show their best sides as usual – something that’s important when you’re busy during a weekend.

I dined at the bar during my stay a couple of times. Whilst it was hotels food wasn’t badly priced, it was good quality delivered in a reasonable time frame.

Well, it was Calamari – traditional for me here.

And when with friends, tome is precious because you want to spend it with them.

On the day of checkout, everything was in order – with no unexpected charges or such. All good things

With that done, it was to,e to explore Chicago… which had warmed a lot… no need for leggings or beanies.

Overall: The Hyatt Regency O’Hare is still one of the nicer hotels in the O’Hare area. It’s also reasonably good value on a conference rate. The room decor is starting its show its age, and could do with an update – but the service at this hotel still keeps it a solid choice for me when travelling.
