The Bar/Lounge at Hyatt Regency Chicago

"Drinkers rejoice that the hotel has the longest freestanding bar in North America (so it claims)"

"Rooms are modern and fresh with several conveniences including minibars and coffeemakers, and some offer views of the river or lake"

"On weekends the lobby bar area morphs into the Hard Drive nightclub"

"Compared to other downtown hotels that have undergone massive facelifts, the Hyatt's facilities are a bit dated, especially the slow elevators, but the cheaper-than-most room rates keep the place crowded to capacity with conventioneers, student groups and others seeking a downtown bargain"

"“Wonderful” rooms boast “great views of Lake Michigan, Navy Pier and the Chicago River”, plus “comfy" beds and “modern" bathrooms at this “top-notch” convention hotel (the city’s largest), which is “like a world within itself” so you “almost never have to leave”; a "professional and helpful" staff “takes those little extra steps to make your stay memorable”, the “spacious” lobby has “slick” decor and the “amazing” bar offers “great city views and delicious drinks”, all in a “primo” location that's “close to Millennium Park” and "great for shopping on Michigan Avenue"
