I didn't choose the Cool Corner room as an upgrade option, but would others say it's worth it to try and go for that as well? Is it that much more different than the standard room, or is it something that I'd probably already get as a standard Platinum upgrade?
If you just want convenience and suite upgrade for Lala then the Sheraton is better. The Sheraton is closer to the action (right across the river from Grant/Millennium Park). Also the W City Center area is DEAD during the weekend with not even restaurants to eat at.
