Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel! I found it very challenging to spend cash on site. Would have been nice to know ahead of time that this was a cash free hotel only. Minor inconvenience having to run back to the room to retrieve a cc."

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

2/10 Terrible

"Horrible. We switched hotels after the 1st night. The room had a musky/moldy smell. We got a 1 bedroom room and we were travelling with our kids and reserved the room for 4 people. When we got to the hotel that night there were no sheets on the pull out bed, no sheets or pillows or blankets for it in the room. When we called down they said they would send someone up. They came, dropped the pillows and sheets on the couch and left. The shower has NO water pressure. The bath tub had hair in it (no ours). The shower head was filthy. The in room hair dryer was partially melted and dirty (like sticky). The curtains on the windows were broken so they wouldn't close all the way. Overall the hotel was dark and dingy. Never again."
