I stayed at the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile this past weekend and definitely had a great experience.
1. The location of the Hotel is great and that was paramount to me so that was a big plus. In addition though there is construction on Erie St that is actually helpful because the Hotel doesn't have a lot of space to park for Valet service.
2. Parking as expected is expensive at $61 however you can use Parkwiz to book a parking spot. The Hyatt valet is outsourced and the same valet parking service is available through Parkwiz for $40. The caveat is that there are no In/Out privileges but then again I was planning on walking and/or taking a cab for any of the destinations I had in mind.
3. Service was great, check in was breeze and I ended up getting the food and beverage amenity instead of the points since I was travelling with a friend. A bottle of canvas wine (red) and a cheese and fruit tray...nothing exceptional but then again not bad at all!
4. I was given an Executive Suite. The room itself is a nice size though the living room looks a little sparse with the furniture and doesn't have any windows. I stayed in 1030 and the sound of sirens at night was definitely an issue.
5. My dining experience overall was great. We ended up going down for a drink in the evening to the Level 2 lounge before heading out and were told that they had a happy hour half priced sushi special everyday of the week. We ordered a couple of rolls which were pretty good. Breakfast the next day was exceptional however there was no made to order omelette offered.
All in all a great stay and would definitely stay at this property again!

Quick review, booked and received an executive suite. Was perfectly suitable for a family of four, including the largest TV I have ever had in a hotel suite (60"?). No complaints from the family, who said that the breakfast was excellent (I was in meetings). Heard sirens but were not kept awake by them on the 14th floor. Lou Malnati's delivers to hotel ^
A great stay but a week later all my family talks about is the Park Suite upgrade at HR Chicago. To be fair both rooms were excellent, and the N. Michigan Ave. access that Mag Mile affords is tough to beat. Both excellent choices.

Will be staying here in October for leisure and am trying to decide between the hyatt regency, this hotel and the Westin. Any suggestions?
Also is the noise from the hospital pretty evident at night?
