It was okay The wifi stopped working late night when I would have needed it for work. I went down to ask the reception. They said there is nothing they can do and that I could call a support number. I called the number but there was no answer. I went downstairs again to ask if there is anything they can do and also to ask what they are going to do about this issue. They said they would "file a report". In the morning when checking out the receptionist asked if everything was ok. I told her about the wifi problem and the fact that the nobody answered at the support number. The receptionist did not say anything. I have also not heard back anything from them. I doubt any reports were actually filed. This is a very expensive hotel. A) the wifi should work. If it does not, they should somehow compensate. B) the customer service around the issue was terrible.

Room wasn't ready initially, but we got the check-in and parking done and were texted as soon as the room was available. Spacious room, good black out curtains, comfy bed, functional TV, spacious bathroom with decent shower and plenty of towels. It did get quite noisy at 2:30 am in our hallway as there were wedding parties returning from their celebrations. We didn't do anything about it because you can't make drunk happy people shut up, you can only make them drunk angry people. Breakfast was included but we didn't try it as we had other brunch plans elsewhere.

We got in late the first night of our stay, tired and ready for a shower, and bed. My kids understand how to be quiet and considerate. Like I said, we travel a lot. With that said, ten minutes into unloading our bags and getting situated, we get a call about a noise complaint. The lady below us said we were being loud. We were confused because no one was jumping, running, or horse-playing. The gentleman at the front desk told us she had complained prior to our arrival and is apparently a light sleeper, so we asked for a different room. The gentleman said that wouldn’t be necessary. An hour later, everyone is literally in bed, and we hear banging on the floor of our room. She was banging on her ceiling. It woke up our kids and startled them. Once again, we got a call about being loud. I don’t know how, because we were all asleep except for my wife who had went downstairs to wash a load of clothes. This time the front desk clerk gave us another room. We had to load all our stuff back up and move even though we were not being loud whatsoever. He then tried giving us a room below those same people. I refused that room, so he sent us on the other side of the hotel. That new rooms air conditioner didn’t work, it was hot and sticky, and the hot water kept going out. At least in the first room the ac was cold and the water was hot. Never again.

Room was clean, bed was nice, however, TV didn’t work. Called the front desk to ask them to fix it around 8:30 PM. They said unfortunately they didn’t know how. The bar restaurant that said it was attached was not really attached and their drinks were Poorly made, and extremely overpriced.

What stood out the most for my wife, daughter, mom and I was the amazing kindness and support that we received from Amanda at the front desk.

The first room we were in, i went to draw the blackout curtain and the whole curtain came crashing down on me. We let the front desk know and they quickly moved us to an identical room with a working shade. Everything seemed acceptable as far as cleanliness goes. I really appreciated how secure the building felt. (Room keys to use the elevators, etc) and the walking distance to nice restaurants. Also love the bar/restaurant connected to the hotel, and they were very accomodating with taking drinks back to our room (albeit pretty overpriced for the quality of wine, but the convenience of not having to drive or walk to a store makes it worthwhile.) All in all happy, the hotel wasnt anything extravagant but for the location its perfect

I have stayed at the Hyatt place downtown multiple times especially with my family coming down every year as I went to school at UIUC. This weekend I experienced an unpleasant experience, It immediately felt as thought the service was lackluster and the overall vibe of the hotel was not as welcoming as usual. Throughout our stay we noticed other minor things that contributed, when having an issue with the tv at night the front desk belittled my issue telling me to resolve in the morning (which would be after I checked out) and insisting that I must be doing something wrong as he saw someone streaming to a tv downstairs and assured me it was possible instead of offering help. After that we noticed a big downgrade in what used to be complimentary breakfast. We now had to pay for a breakfast that felt less quality than it used to be during prior stays. After speaking with the front desk further, we found out there was recently new management that had taken over and all I have to say is it is very noticeable from a consumers point of view and not in a positive way…

Very clean and nice staff but they shouldn’t advertise a pool if it’s been closed since covid. Also $15 a day for parking is a little outlandish. Finally, they didn’t even have a waffle or breakfast sausage, but they charge $11 per person for breakfast.

It seems the property was a good property at some time in the past. The rooms and the facilities are still good but the staff and service are not good - staff and policies are quite rude. Breakfast is not worthy of Hyatt brand. They advertise 24x7 The Market but it is barely stocked. They advertise The Placery but it's been shut down.

Parking is $15, found that out a week later after the charge hit my cc and I had to call to find out what it was, had been told during my stay parking was free. EVERYTIME my husband or I walked passed the front desk to go leave, someone at the desk asked our room number..it was very annoying and strange. We only stayed one night, room was fine, but I'll consider another place next time I stay in champaign.

hotel looks nice and updated. Check in was quick and easy. The area around the property looked good but there was alot of siren that night, we counted 6 different times so that was a little alarming. the hotel was secure though so that was nice. I had to call the next day for questions about a bill and whoever answered the phone was rude and it sounded like it was because i had booked on hotels.

The Good: The room was clean and comfortable and the free buffet breakfast was good. The Bad: The room technology needed updating. The room phone was too complicated to even call front desk. I had to use my cell phone! The TV itself was very old and the cable offerings were abysmal. The remote was difficult to use (no real menu option - you had to input channel number into remote! I expected a lot better from Hyatt. When I spoke to front desk about my difficulties with the room phone and TV, the front desk person kindly offered to credit me for parking - I didn’t know Hyatt was even charging me for parking! Hyatt also advertised it had 3 EV chargers (two Tesla chargers and one generic charger) for guest vehicles, but upon arrival, it turned out Hyatt only had two Tesla chargers - no generic EV charger at all.

What was terrible- no hot water for the first 24 hrs. So no bath, shower or warm water to even wash face or hands. Called front desk - yes we know. No one has hot water a boiler broke and they’ve been trying to fix it. Faucet in sink sprayed water all over - no matter how slowly you lifted lever. Faucet connection also leaked. No offer to make the stay right beyond “ I’ll leave a note for the manager “ never heard from them. Extremely disappointing for any hotel, let alone a Hyatt!

This was my first stay at this property, and it will be my last. The hotel is dated/worn overal . There were several obvious stains in the carpet in my room and the halls. I had a horrendous asthma attack in the middle of the night that was most certainly triggered by something in the room and almost required a hospital visit. I have never had such an experience when traveling. The front desk staff allowed me to check out early but could not do anything to compensate for the condition of the room because the room was booked through Expedia. I emailed both managers and have yet to hear back. I was told the hotel is pet-friendly and that customers sometimes do not disclose that they have pets in the room to avoid a cleaning charge, so rooms are not cleaned as they should be. My room smelled slightly of urine, so it's likely there'd been a dog/cat in the room that triggered the attack. Also, the hotel says they have a bar, which they do, but it's a very small counter next to check -in. Don't count on a traditional hotel bar. There are better hotels in the area including the Marriott and I Hotel.
