Parking Options?
Are there any parking options other than the hotel's own mandatory $75/night valet-only Parking? At DFW, the walkway to the terminal from the Hyatt Regency (not Grand Hyatt) goes right thru a daily parking deck so one can park there cheaper.

Otherwise, park in one of the airport parking ramps as they surround the hotel and walk on over.

I missed a rental car in the equation. I think you answered their question with your final statement though....

This is the airport parking map: http://www.flychicago.com/ohare/tofr...s/economy.aspx. The orange line is the transit which runs quite close to the Hilton, the $40 daily rate applies to the lots around the Hilton, which is off the top of this map.
ETA: This map shows the main parking and the Hilton: http://www.flychicago.com/ohare/tofr...maindaily.aspx. I note from there that the transit is being replaced by busses until next summer.

We're driving our own car down from WI and flying out early the next morning. They've already charged for the valet though (bundled with room rate). Will they refund that part if we don't use it?

Yikes. I'd find a cheap park n fly lot. Is that $75 for one night or your entire time out of town?

If you paid for parking as an add-on then you might get it back. If you bought a package then you would probably have to cancel (if that is possible) and rebook. I note that the valet parking package for up to five nights adds $150 on a random date, which is $30 a night if all of it is used.

Stayed here 10/15 - 10/16
No upgrade to an airport view or suites available. Check in agent was very friendly and helpful and offered breakfast coupons but we declined as they start at 6 AM. We did get two bottles of water though.
Still the dated room you come to expect but the walk to the terminal instead of a shuttle the next day can't be beat.

Comfortable Property
Staying here 2 nights. As everyone says, the location can't be beat, especially in a snowstorm or when the temperature is in the single digits Fahrenheit, like now. Beyond that, the hotel is comfortable. True, they don't have an executive lounge and the only suites are juniors, all facing the parking garage instead of the airfield. The appointments are dated and it's hard to plug in certain devices. Internet can be spotty - Diamonds should be sure to insist on premium connectivity and maybe a wired connection.
Diamond/Gold breakfast at Andiamo was good (see separate thread); dinner OK (don't order the off-menu chicken noodle soup). There's a fancy steakhouse, the Gaslight Club, that looks like it could be fun but expensive. Staff is capable and friendly, calls to the guest hotline are answered immediately. They'll bring a portable fan if the built-in fan doesn't work.
The fitness center is better than almost any US hotel in this price category - almost equivalent to the YMCA in breadth of machines, barbells and weights. Plus a sauna, steam room and decent-size pool.
Transport geeks should get a high-floor "runway view" room facing the airfield and the terminal shuttle train.
If you're getting a super rate and collecting loads of promo points, as I am, this place is a great deal.

Stayed here recently. Checked in and asked to try out one of their "allergy friendly" rooms. Was told no problem. Went to the room, and clearly not one of the allergy friendly ones. Hair all over the bathroom floor. What appeared to be blood stains on the sheets. Caked mold on the air filter. Food from the grab-and-go was inedible and the sales person looked like I was interrupting her day of staring in to space by being a customer (maybe you could be bothered to include a napkin next time as well). Was not offered any kind of breakfast as diamond, although was not going to take it anyway.
Paid a sub $125 rate on a cruddy weather day at O'hare, Other than that, nothing going for this hotel.
Score: 3/10

Yes, and wouldn't it have been nice if someone told me that information? Did not complain. I just lumped it and left it. All I needed was a hot shower and somewhere to sleep for eight hours and at least I got that bare minimum.
