Bedding--made without fitted sheet. A basic important detail missed. friendly staff. Location was great. I liked the rooftop mainly. However, it was drizzling on a Sunday morning so brunch wasn't possible. Straightforward place to stay but nothing extraordinary. Free waters, coffee in the room. May leave luggage early or after check out. Opted not to but just fyi.

I am a big fan of this property. Love the location in the central loop & the rooms are extremely quiet for being in the heart of the city (the Centric by NW Mem Hospital is loud all night w the ambulances). Only downsides - the bed is low (think almost on the floor) and they share a valet so the wait to park can be long. But those are offset by the location, service & wonderful restaurant Brandol on the first floor.

Great stay at this Hyatt owned location. I love staying at the Central Loop because of its proximity to everything (Millennium Park, AiC, and the public transport elsewhere). We were received quickly and given the run down of amenities, and after a long day, we got up to a clean room, and comfy beds. The rooms are pretty new looking, as are the bathrooms. The Corner (on the third floor) is a little coffee and tea bar that also has snacks. It's a step up from the coffee machine you have in the room. They have a very capable restaurant below. We ordered takeout from Bandol Brasserie (Yelp 'd it!). Not too shabby. Rooms were made regularly, so when we came back in the afternoon they were already turned over (sheets replaced too), and refreshments replaced. Metro and CTA bus stops close by. Millennium Park, Willis Tower, and AiC are all within walking distance. Close to the shopping district of the Magnificent Mile. I like the hotels in the Loop because they put you in the middle of things without all the noise. Plenty of places to see and shop at, and if you need more, you're never too far. The front desk can get overwhelmed, but I recommend not being part of the problem by trying some self-sufficiency. I definitely recommend this hotel for your lodging needs.

Overall a good experience at Hyatt Centric. I stayed here for several nights due to an onsite event with my team a few blocks away. The location is very convenient close to multiple office buildings and good restaurants. The check-in process was fantastic. I arrived late (11:30 PM) during the shift change and the front desk team did not miss a beat. I was greeted warmly and all my questions were answered. I requested that they stow my luggage during the Habitat For Humanity event on my last day and that process was smooth as well. The room (double queen) was clean and comfortable. I love the height of the beds and nightstands because I am a bit vertically challenged. The pillows and beds were quite comfortable and roomy. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the room could use some updates: carpet, ironing board, and coffee machine were all in need of a refresh. Overall a nice hotel in Chicago that served all my needs. I would definitely stay here again

There were issues with the water pipes in my room. My sink only produced hot water no matter which way I turned the faucet. The shower also wasn't in the best condition. There was a random piece of black tape wrapped under the shower head. Otherwise was decent. Friendly service and nice room layout. There is a convenient cafe attached to the hotel lobby.

Backwards shower door that causes the bathroom to flood.

I thought staying at a Hyatt would guarantee a minimum standard- but I was wrong. There were so many things that added up it's hard to list them all. I wasn't going to say anything, and this is my first Yelp review I've ever written, but I was so disappointed to see that reviews going back several years mention many of the things I experienced. This leads me to believe they simply don't care about the guest experience. In no particular order, these are the little things and not-so-little things that have made me rethink putting Hyatt in the same breath as Marriott or Hilton... - The walls were dirty and scuffed up with black marks. Could be easily cleaned, but there's no effort to detail. - Every glass surface was spotty and needed a good wipe down, but nothing stays clean because there's no proper ventilation in the bathroom. - Each attempt to call the front desk required at least five tries before someone would actually pick up the phone. - Three days there and not once was the room serviced in any way. We had to call down for towels several times. - The shower door was installed backwards, so the door opens into the water, causing the floor to flood. - There is no real privacy in the bathroom or toilet, as the "door" to the toilet is merely a shower door with a gap and the door to the bathroom is a sliding barn door that has a massive gap. - There is no working ventilation in the bathroom, so all the glass walls end up steaming and then dripping onto the tile, creating a very unsafe environment. - Pay for a "High Floor" and expect barely above the halfway point. We paid for a "High Floor" and was stuck on 13 out of 24, barely past the halfway point. - The shampoo and conditioner is locked to the wall, which would be fine if the heads worked properly and you could actually get the product out. - When we called (seven attempts this time) to find out if there was a switch to turn on the bathroom vent we were made to feel stupid, "Um, no. There is no fan in there." - The transition strip between the tile and carpet had a sharp point on it that required us laying a washcloth over it so we wouldn't step on it and cut our bare feet. - The cable went out repeatedly the first night with the signal finally dropping for several hours. I'll stop there. I expected so much more from a hotel in the heart of the loop, and now I feel overcharged and underwhelmed by the experience. Hyatt will no longer be mentioned in the same breath as Hilton and Marriott. That's too bad, because this location was perfect for my trip.

am an active duty servicemember and I have been in the Navy for 18 years, I have traveled the globe and prior to joining worked in several customer service jobs. I also have spent time in Iraq and Afghanistan in some austere and terrible conditions, this has molded me into who I am and I have a very very understanding personality. I understand miscommunication is common when you are managing personnel of a hotel this large in a busy city. However, I regret to inform you that my most recent stay at the Hyatt Centric The Loop Chicago was very unpleasant and disappointing. I checked in late, which provided ample time for my reserved room to be ready upon my arrival. When I arrived at my room (#612), the entire floor was wet, the carpet and tile with an industrial size fan attempting to dry it. I notified staff and was asked " do i want to move rooms?", which didn't provide me with much faith in the customer service, i replied "Yes. I do not want to move rooms." I thought it was obvious I wouldn't want to stay in a wet room and felt disrespectful to even ask. I was moved to room #812, I unpacked and put all my clothes away, when I went to retrieve the ironing board 2 pillowcases with stains were stuck to it. Furthermore, as the other guest with me was using the shower, pointed out a bunion cushion that people use for their feet was stuck to the shower door. I contacted the front desk and they offered to change rooms. I retrieved the new keys and before I moved all my belongings, I visited the new room. When I arrived this room was also not ready, there was a used washcloth and opened bar of soap on the bathroom counter. At this point I notified staff and they provided no solution. I was already unpacked and now running late for a pre-paid dinner and entertainment I purchased for me and my guest. I was so disheartened at this point I didn't move rooms because I lacked the faith it would get better. So I left for dinner which i was late for and my entertainment which I was late for. I remained in the room till Sunday check out and the bunion cushion from another guest was never removed my entire stay. The lack of effort was rude and unsanitary. Once again, I have stayed in $5 rooms and $1000 rooms all across the world, i expected more and desired better conditions from a world class organization such as Hyatt, but this has definitely impacted my trust and confidence in staying with Hyatt or recommending your organization to others. We are all imperfect people, we make mistakes but no gesture or proper solution was provided to me or my guest.

"Lake view" from room 2009

Centrally located in the Loop if you want to be close to the theaters or Millennium Park. We've recently stayed here twice, once in room 2214 which is a corner king room, and more recently received a pre-arrival free suite upgrade due to Globalist status (Room 2009 which is also ADA accessible if you need that). This specific room has an extra half bath that is huge due to the accessibility. The king room is large, but space is oddly used, i.e there is a huge walk-in closet that seemed unnecessary. Both early (12pm) and late check-out requests were also honored. On-site restaurant is not yet operating due to COVID so instead Globalists will receive $30 gift card per day for neighboring restaurant Roanoke. Centrics usually don't offer free breakfast but this location does. It's more of a simple continental breakfast with cereals and microwaveable oatmeal. Recently they also had warm ham and cheese breakfast sandwiches. Free food is always appreciated. Rooms, although modernly decorated, feel a bit tired. Window shades were dusty and shower edges need a deep clean/re-caulking. The bed is too soft and lumpy, sadly not very comfortable. This is an older historical building that's been retrofitted for a hotel, so you'll get those oddball quirks with older buildings like a loud HVAC system. Customer service at front desk is great, they are all pleasant to talk to.

My stay at the Hyatt Centric The Loop Chicago was amazing to say the least. Thanks to David Nicosia, the Front desk manager at the Hyatt Centric the loop, Chicago, my family and I had a very accommodating experience that surpassed our expectations. He made us feel comfortable and offered great advice on places to visit during our stay. The rooms are very spacious too. Be sure to check out the Aire Rooftop with stunning views of downtown Chicago. We will most definitely be paying a visit back soon.

Bedside lamp.

Too many other good hotels in the area to stay here. Mold in the bathroom, old and unsanitary fixtures (lamps and table). Totally unacceptable.

Thanks for the "suite" upgrade
Helene S.

Perfect for a quick weekend getaway to Chicago. So easy to explore the Theater District, Millennium Park and The Riverfront from this centrally located contemporary Loop hotel. Loved the beautiful clean lines in the lobby and rooms as well as the panoramic views from the rooftop bar, AIRE. Nice to be able to grab a complimentary quick treat of dried fruits and nuts, savory snacks, fresh fruit or a latte from The Corner. Felt very safe as access to the upper level floors was restricted to your room keycard. As a Hyatt rewards member, I was offered a sweet "suite" upgrade. Felt so special as I entered the foyer of my corner 668 square foot king room. The living room and dining space in my suite were so open and inviting. So happy when I looked out of the windows of my corner bedroom and saw Chagall's Four Seasons in the courtyard of the building across the street. Bathrooms are stocked with BeeKind bath soaps and body wash. Nice to have bottled water available as well. After a long day exploring, it was perfect to relax at Hyatt Centric The Loop. Nice to see how they have renovated and repurposed this historic 1927 22-story art deco building. Great staff, great location. Thanks for a great mini vacation.

I was told it closes at 11p the first night, and turns into a club Friday and Saturday and closes later. So to my surprise, the first night I tried to to go up at 10:15, I couldn't because they cut elevator access off at 10pm. 2nd night, I couldn't get into the other area because of a private event. The final night at 9pm, I tried again and was told told they dont open to the public until 9:30p or 10p. WHAT?! According to the website its open on Saturdays 11am to 2am. No break. My first night when I couldn't get up to the roof, I tried the restaurant downstairs. Also closes at 11pm. 10:20, hostess says they just called last call. I said cool I can order a drink. She said no they just called last call. I went back and forth with her and gave up and checked with the desk and they said they close at 10:30p. Then someone else said they close at 11:00pm but will call last call at 10:30 to help with the kitchen. and then confirmed, well they closed a little early that night. If you're thinking you'll get rooftop access or anything here. Look elsewhere.

This is a solid, standard Hampton Inn right in the heart of the city--clean, reasonably priced for…read moreChicago, set in a good location, and housed in an interesting historic building. Normally, that would meet my expectations for a four-star rating. What pushes it to a five, however, was the woman working the front desk, and more broadly, the genuine, go-out-of-their-way warmth of every staff member we encountered, from the security guard downstairs to the ladies managing the continental breakfast. We arrived in the morning, hours before check-in time, planning to drop off our bags so we could explore the city. Instead, the front desk agent offered a great solution: 'What if I check you in early for $25 so you can take your bags right up to your room?' I wouldn't have even thought to ask, and it made our morning seamless. Later, I watched her handle a long line at breakfast with multiple guest requests; she was completely unflappable, warm, and adept at putting people at ease. This may well be my new go-to hotel in Chicago.

Hampton Inn majestic will let you relive the Chicago fire!!!…read more Was not a fan of their elevators since they kept jumping from levels 6 and 7 and would randomly stop without being called. The last Hampton inn I got stuck in the elavator and had an off experience with getting help, so I chose to use the stairs. Upon using the stairs we were met with SEVERAL linen boxes blocking our only exit. They were all in different directions and could not be easily rolled out, especially when we were blocked behind them. Instead we had to parkour over it to escape. There was a valet driver sitting at the front and ignored us after I asked for help and continued to say she's just valet she can't do anything. These bins were there for well over an acceptable time, blocking the only stairs and fire safety exit but also for people that didn't enjoy their sketchy elevators. And again, pallets were there days later also blocking the ONLY emergency exit and stairwell exit. Completely unacceptable in a normal city let alone one with history of building fires. Exits should not be blocked and it's clear the building uses this space for "storage" often. Before the fire situation even happened, their breakfast situation was insane. Our first morning was on a Monday. Their service is until 10 am and around 9am we headed down for some fuel. By that time, the dining room was packed, the tiny buffet room was empty of food but packed with people who were waiting for tables, chairs and all of the food to be restocked. One woman was trying to run the whole operation while two men just stood behind the concierge desk and watched the shit show of breakfast service happen in front of them. Someone should have helped her get breakfast together. Even if it wasn't their job, in hospitality, their job as hotel manger or anyone who works in the hotel is to make sure the guest have a pleasant stay, not to look pretty sitting in front of the Hampton inn welcome to Chicago sign. Overall unorganized and not something nice to look at when you first walk into a hotel lobby, chaos. You would think the grievances would stop there. However we were then denied the benefits that we get as gold Hilton members. Previously at hiltons and Hilton branches we have been offered two bottles of water per room per day. Most of the time they would be offered upon check in (which they did not) and given daily throughout our stay. This time the concierge allowed my mom just to go grab them out of the fridge. The next day we did the same and the concierge Robyn gave me immediate backlash even after I said we were previously allowed to take them. She repeatedly said I was wrong and gave no hospitality to hear my side of the story. I didn't want to cause a scene and returned my water. She then slammed them onto our table as I was eating breakfast with my family. Definitely could have been better ways for her to deal with the problem and I did not appreciate the hostility coming from the concierge at 9 am. We were already all crammed at a small table because there are no seating arrangements easily accessible for families or even enough seats in the dining room. One star because housekeeping did great and my room was clean and refreshed when necessary (and because zero is not an option) Otherwise I would hope I never have to stay here again.

The staff were somewhat friendly until different things started to come up... 1st issue: Friday night the elevators completely stopped working. Big problem due to having a small infant and needing to get the stroller down. We were staying on the 10th floor. But an even bigger problem was that we started to notice floods of people come on our floor and notify us that there was not an exit even via the stairs!!!! My husband got on the phone with the front desk and the reply was "you are just going to have to wait for the elevator." This was completely unacceptable and UNSAFE- what if there was a fire? What if something dangerous was happening and we couldn't get out of the building? This itself would have landed this hotel at a 1-2 rating. The elevator issue didn't fill resolve itself for our whole stay- only 2/3 were in service and they took 5-10 minutes to show up each time. Seriously inconvenient. 2nd issue: they put one of our rooms (we had 3 groups) literally next to the pool. Kids were screaming their heads off beginning at 6:30am and it would carry on until 10pm. When SIL called down to the front desk she was told "sorry that's just how it is and it should quiet down soon." Again, completely unacceptable. We had young children and infants who needed to nap and go to bed early. 3rd issue: we asked for a late check out since our flight was later and we needed to get our baby to take a nap- after all of these issues they said they would extend it to 1:00, which was nice. We did then ask if it could be extended another hour and we were told it would cost $25. Fine... what was not fine was when there was banging on our door and someone walked in at 1:25pm to clean the room. It woke up our baby and completely defeated the purpose of us extending our late check out and paying the extra $25. 4th issue: apparently they don't clean the rooms unless you are staying for 3 or more nights? We didn't know about this and assumed we would get new towels since there is a sign in the bathroom saying "hang towels to reuse" or "if you would like new ones, place them on the floor". We needed new towels so we followed what it said and then were told our rooms wouldn't be cleaned or even checked to see if we needed new towels. Good things I will say: - very convenient area - provided a pack n play - Starbucks in the hotel - hotel room was clean Would have love for this stay to have been better since the Marriott is well known and usually a great place to stay.... but the lack of customer service makes it hard to want to book another room at a Marriott hotel.

I haven't been to the Windy City in years, and wanted to have a great experience. Unfortunately, this hotel didn't live up to its reputation in any way. This hotel is sleek and modern, but doesn't give an impression of luxury. It's minimalist, and I found the service to be minimalist as well. The front desk was polite, as were the bell/door staff, but I did not feel overly welcomed. My friend was staying with me, and when we entered our room, the first thing we did was check out the quality of the beds. I saw another review for this hotel, and the reviewer stated that the mattresses felt "hard and cheap". My friend and I, unfortunately, heartily agree with this assessment. In addition, the pillows were far too soft. We were both expecting an exceptional weekend full of rest- instead we were uncomfortable, and tossed and turned. We both agreed we should have stayed at The Westin, as they're known for their comfortable beds. The room could have also used a deep cleaning. There were splatter stains on the curtains, and a smear of something on the chair. The bathroom had mildew in the shower grout, and an old rubber band that was overlooked. The overall room decor was unremarkable. The doors are very heavy to the rooms, and there is a lot of slamming. This is worth mentioning, if you like sleeping in. Additionally, I had a negative experience with a member of the concierge team. I approached this unfriendly individual, and asked for help booking something specific, and they advised me to "call them or book online". So what is the purpose of employing a concierge when they offer zero value? I am not cheap by any means, but when I am spending this type of money for a hotel stay, I expect an exceptional experience. I would never expect to have a mediocre experience at a 5 star hotel, but that is exactly what I received. I wouldn't stay here again, and I wouldn't recommend it to others.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it started with the lobby and bar. It was always overcrowded and noisy, and just didn't feel very intimate or elegant. That followed with the fact there's only one restaurant in the hotel and both times we visited it was nearly empty. It's tucked on the second floor back in the corner, and just feels like a standard obligatory hotel restaurant. The food was good but the ambience was just odd. The room was well-appointed, including a comfortable bed and soft sheets. And the bathroom had everything we needed. But the service day-to-day required follow up. They forgot to restock coffee, water and cups a few times, and when I called the front desk they delivered in a trash bag. There is a daily service charge that I believe is $50 a night and provides Wi-Fi, access to gym, and a free class. We went to use the gym to access the sauna and steam room, but learned that's part of the spa not gym so had to pay a separate per person charge. The spa was refreshing but fairly standard. Not like the Seoul Marriott with multiple heated baths and a cold plunge. Call me spoiled. Don't get me wrong, the hotel is very nice but for $700 a night and knowing what I know about most JW's this just seems slightly below their standard. I wouldn't pay that much again, but would come back for a more affordable rate.
