Didn't stay here , but did happen to do a soft walk through. Very Nice property, looked to be a great venue for events casual, corporate, and in between. Next time In town I'll definitely stay for a couple of nights.

The rooms are immaculate. I just wish the downstairs restaurant had more flavor and reasonable prices.

This place is impeccably clean. It has the standard layout you expect for a Hyatt Place, however one nice feature that makes it stand out is luxury vinyl plank throughout... there is no carpet in the rooms, which is great for fellow allergy sufferers. Blinds can be sheer or blackout.The gym is also quite clean with well-maintained equipment (perhaps because this is new).The bed is the standard Hyatt bed - not my favorite, but it's not bad. It's hard underneath but with just enough cushion so that people who like soft beds aren't totally miserable. I'd prefer it to have a thicker foam (maybe 3-5 more inches?) but it's tolerable and at least it isn't springy/rock hard. Don't expect to sink into it, but also don't expect to be sore everywhere in the morning.They got rid of the little plastic shampoo bottles, which I totally support. Instead, there are pumps on the shower wall. The shampoo is currently a masculine scent (Oak/Cedar) which isn't my favorite, but it's good quality stuff.The front staff were great and very accommodating. Not sure where the complaints I read are coming from - front office staff aren't servants. They're here to accommodate us. If you need to be spoon fed, stay at the Four Seasons. The three I met were all really kind and helpful.

Nice hotel. Communal microwaves on odd-numbered floors and ice machines on even floors. There is a fitness center, small convenience store and a bar/restaurant. The online check-in was supposed to notify us when our room was ready and generate an e-key that would allow us to skip the front desk and go directly to our room. We never got a notification and the e-key didn’t become available until well after we were in our room. We also weren’t able to get the Chromecast to work on the TV. The woman at the front desk was very friendly.

Stayed here so we could easily take UP-N Metra to Ravinia. It's a lovely newer hotel. Clean, comfortable, and dog friendly, with impeccable service. It's located right off the Tri-state Tollway. This Hyatt includes a bar and restaurant that serves all meal times, from breakfast into late night (10p). Bar is open until midnight on weekends. We had drinks, the margherita flatbread, lattes, and dessert--all were good. There's a nice patio area and plenty of grassy dog-walking spots surrounding, along with free parking. It's a beautiful, safe area.Be aware that Lake Forest has two Metra stations, but only one whisks you right to the Ravinia main gate in under 15 minutes (FREE with your Ravinia ticket). While the "downtown" area looks to be charming, we were surprised how everything was closed on a Friday evening. Apparently, Lake Forest becomes a ghost town after dark, even on weekends. We had to drive 10 minutes west of the hotel to Vernon Hills for "excitement."Besides cleanliness and pet-friendly, the next most important thing for our lodging must-haves is friendly and attentive service. The Forester excels at all of these. Special shout-out to Jackie who made my wife's birthday getaway extra special! And our pup appreciated the treats from the night front desk ladies. ??As a member of all the main hotel loyalty programs, I must say Hyatt seems to be the most consistent across all its properties in terms of quality locations. All the others can be very hit or miss. Marriott & Hilton especially have many rundown locations. And redeeming points for free nights has become outrageously out of reach, including at a number of less than desirable hotels . We used points for this Hyatt Forester stay and it was a real bargain. We won't hesitate to stay here again.

I was traveling to your property for work which is a bit remote from Chicago proper. Our group stayed at this hotel and I was so extremely pleasantly surprised. Your staff were super nice and helpful. The room was very nice and updated. I liked the products and cleanliness of the bathrooms. Your television technology was super convenient to operate through the Hyatt World app that allowed me to sync my device with the tv and stream my streaming services. I also really loved that you provided a local telephone number to text if I needed anything and folks were so nice to be extremely timely and responsive. This was everything from wake up calls to food delivery to emailing me my bill on check out. We also had drinks in the bar a couple of nights and it was super easy and a very nice experience with a lot of options.The only con I can really list is that the walls are pretty thin so you can hear all of your neighbors talking and activities which kept me up a bit at night. But overall this was a really great experience. Thanks for a great stay Hyatt!

Overall: Wonderful and my wife and I will return whenever we want to escape the city.The service was exceptional. kind, nice staff from the front desk to the food and room service staff.The location was a bit out of the way from the city but worth the distance.Rooms: Our suite was nice and spacious. felt like home. the only reason the suite wasn't given 5-stars was because the floors were not cleaned before we came into the room. and the couch was covered in pet fur. I ended up getting really itchy on my back after sitting on the couch without my shirt.Noteworthy details: Our meals were delicious and the presentation was on point. We requested dining plates and cloth napkins. They gave us exceptional service for every meal for the 4 days we were there.

LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE FORESTER!When you first walk into the lobby you instantly feel more at ease - it smells sooo good. Very calming and peaceful which also matched the decor. The entire building is up to date and designed very well. The designs make you feel like 'yeah, this is going to be a nice getaway.' Haha!The staff was very kind, helpful and friendly. They explained the layout of the hotel, where the gym was at and answered all the questions I had. They did a great job of welcoming us and making us feel at home. We like sleeping with low temps and thankfully their AC was able to handle our need of 67 degrees. We slept very well. This place has a top notch standard of cleanliness. Everything was spotless and smelled very good. The rooms look recently updated and they are stunning. I really love the design of them with the blue art pieces, so peaceful and beautiful. The bathrooms are bright and spacious, also stacked with soap, lotion, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Taking a shower feels like you're at a high end spa. The water pressure is great, strong but not too strong.We really enjoyed our stay, thanks so much for everything!
