Hyatt-Thanks for Walking me in Chicago

I got walked from the Hyatt Regency Chicago last week. On a room booked on Priceline for less than $75 per night for a two night stay.

It was great. They limoed me to the Park Hyatt which is a MUCH nicer hotel in a better area right by the Water Tower. They also refunded my entire payment to Priceline, so I stayed at the Park Hyatt for free.

I was impressed.

Walk me some more, please.

Is this sort of treatment typical of Hyatt?

Very classy by Hyatt. Hyatt's customer service star is shining brightly these days, and this story just adds to it.

Better there than something in the Burbs. At least you can cab it to Halsted.

Nope, just a schnuk. I have no status with Hyatt. And, remember, this was a Priceline purchased stay, not eligible for points.

Thanks again, Hyatt.

Very nice ^^. Part of me wonders though if this isn't because Chicago is the headquarters for Hyatt Corp.

Did Priceline refund your payment to you? (You say the hotel refunded the payment to priceline...)

Just returned from a five day stay at HR Chicago. The place was booming and was sold out during our stay. We were told that this Hyatt is the largest one in the US and is considered their flagship.

The food in the Club Lounge was of very high quality, though there was no hot food. The staff was friendly and very accomodating. We enjoyed our stay and would return without hesitation.

I agree. I avoided opening this thread as I thought it would be a rant. Nice job by the Hyatt.

My credit card bill shows a credit from Priceline for the charge that was made to pay for the original room. It was a penny less than what I paid, but, what the heck.
