thank you all for the comments so far. jerry's post made me realize that i wasn't clear. won't spend much time at the hotel itself. want to be in the general area of thewit, chicago hilton, PH. executive lounge at both properties will be closed when i am in town. they're similar in price. so, just looking for advice on which to choose. but the other posts are helpful, because i will be back a couple of weeks later, and will likely be looking at staying on mag mile
