Greetings AFFers!
I'm heading to Chicago over Dec-Jan on a visiting Scientist program to work at Argonne National Lab which is ~30 miles from downtown.. There is a 10 day shut down over Xmas... Looking at a variety of options and one of them is to find a nice hotel in downtown to use as a base to explore the area...
Any recommendations? It will be myself, the wife and the little spoilt 5yo (done more flying in her 5 years than I had done up until a few years ago!)
Looked at the Westin, they have a room on the Club floor with access to the Club lounge... what is the Club lounge? ~160USD/night
Also the Intercontinental has a king exec suite for 162USD... rates seem very reasonable (prob need to pay another $30 odd for the rollaway)
Any advice gratefully received... I've got no real memberships of worth... AAdvantage, and also Priority club (where they have spelt my name wrong on the card!)
