Hilton Chicago O'Hare Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The check in process was very smooth and the hotel is a perfect distance if you have a long layover and want to eat and bathe before your connection. We stayed the night for this very reason and it all went over smoothly. Very glad we stayed here as it was a peaceful nights sleep and a good meal at the on-site restaurant before finishing our journey home."
