When You Are Greeted By A Police Forensic Unit At Your Hotel…

I was recently in Chicagoland and Heidi and I stayed at the Hyatt House in Schaumburg, where we found a police forensic unit photographing a side entrance to the hotel. I asked about it at the front desk and the response cracked me up.

Police Forensic Unit Photographing My Hyatt Hotel, But Clerk Says It Is “Routine Check”

As we pulled into the hotel just after 6:00 pm to check-in, we noticed a Schaumburg Police van and a squad car in the parking line near a side entrance to the property. Two officers were examining the door, and one was taking pictures.

During check-in, I asked the clerk what was going on and I had to laugh at his answer.

ME: “Why are those police officers outside? What happened?”

CLERK: “Oh, they are just doing an annual safety check.”

ME: “Really? With their camera?”

CLERK: “Yes, this is just a routine check.”

ME: “Come on, what really happened?”

CLERK: “Nothing, sir. Nothing to worry about.”

He could see I was not convinced…

Finally, let me just say that this property is not worth visiting. I rarely publish a negative review, but I will publish one for this property and it will be very negative. The room was dirty and falling apart, the dishes and silverware were not clean, the breakfast was disgusting (no omelets, which I thought were a staple of the Hyatt House brand), and of course the police issue.

The hotel’s in a decent neighborhood but seemed to attract a lower-level clientele and although I liked the sauna (the reason I chose it instead of the Hyatt Regency nearby), I’d definitely choose the Hyatt Regency next time.
