Top Crystal Lake Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Chicago/Hoffman Estates

Hyatt Place Chicago/Hoffman Estates

8/10 Good
"The hotel has started to show its age and could use updating. There are two elevators but one was out of service during my family's two night stay. With our rooms on the 6th floor, the single available elevator was in constant use, particularly during the morning at breakfast time. The sheets and blankets were clean and the beds were comfortable. Having breakfast included is nice though it didn't change for the two breakfasts that we had."

"Bed was comfortable, room smelled like nothing, appliances provided worked, extra space for a laptop and a lounge was fun and useful. Bathroom did not have a fan, which was unpleasant, but that was the only thing i noticed that i did not like. Location was extremely good, you can walk to ihop, dave and busters, or even the Woodfield mall in less than a mile if you want. Highly recommend."
