Hyatt Place Chicago-South University Medical Center

“Great Location for U Chicago visits. Good long stay experience.”

Stayed a good 12 nights as was there to help the son move to an apartment off campus from U Chicago. Hotel is well located and you can walk 15 mins to U Chicago. In the day it's safe. Would not walk alone at night. Large rooms. When you have two queen beds as a double double plus a sofa bed, it's … more

Stayed a good 12 nights as was there to help the son move to an apartment off campus from U Chicago. Hotel is well located and you can walk 15 mins to U Chicago. In the day it's safe. Would not walk alone at night. Large rooms. When you have two queen beds as a double double plus a sofa bed, it's a large room!! My elder son also visited for fist 4 nights so having three large guys in a large space like this is welcome. Clean bathrooms, well stocked as well. Serviced daily. (dont know when they changed the sheets though). The breakfast is sufficient and included in the rate. I guess this is a standard in the US to have the set items, limited, but again, enough to get your day going. (Just for perspective to US travellers, if you stayed at a Hyatt Place in India or Asia, your breakfast would probably be 3 times the size in every respect. Just an FYI to tell you Asian hospitality standards). One comment on the room AC. It's in the corner near the window and the flow directly on the bed can get your allegories going. It did mine. I wish the FCU's were in the foyer like standard hotels. I have noticed this same arrangement in the Residence Inn we used in Palo Alto. Could be, again, a US thing. We appreciate the teams helpfulness round the clock. We used the hotel as an Amazon delivery centre! had packages coming in all week. they store the same for you. Real helpful. I did not have a rental this trip but friends visited us with their car, and the basement parking is YUGE and secure! The in house dining room that serves breakfast doubles up as a bar and snack place I guess post morning. We did not use the same. Plenty of dining right around the hotel. Sweet Green, Chipotle, pizza joints, a Giordano's close enough, Mc Donalds (we dont touch the stuff) and many more. We went downtown often in Lyft's and prices are not too bad. Cheaper to Lyft even twice a day vs a rental and parking charges. (FYI, this trip Lyft was ALWAYS cheaper than Uber). This hotel is great for all U Chicago visitors and much more. Will be back here soon for graduation. Special shout out to Leroy the GM and the team. See you soon.

My son and I spent 2 nights at Hyatt Place Chicago South to attend the University of Chicago open house. This was a good choice. Some walking is required, but it was about a walkable mile to the grounds of the University. We interacted with staff on several occasions: to buy food, to get some paper for a homework assignment, and to check our bags after checkout to do some more Chicago sightseeing. Each of these interactions was pleasant, helpful, and appreciated. The room was comfortable. The A/C is a bit loud, but becomes white noise, and I recommend adjusting so it's not overused. Another pro tip: find the bath towels *inside* the shower on a shelf. Yes, I'm an idiot, but now you don't have to be. The breakfast buffet is more than serviceable in terms of availability times, taste, and variety. [I wish I had asked what kind of yogurt they use - it's something special.] It is my custom to leave information for traveling runners/triathletes. The pool is teeny tiny, but there is an LA Fitness with a pool nearby for those who are members. One of my favorite things in Chicago is running on the Lakefront trail. Just go east (left) on 53rd Street to an access trail (about 0.4 miles), and continue until you find the underpass to get past the highway. It's about a mile from the hotel. Pick a direction, and have a fun run with beautiful views.
