I like Hotel Chicago Downtown (except their parking is $65/night valet as only option!). Typical (little nicer room) upgrade for me both times. Service is nice. What I really like is beer/wine is included in the evening for the Gold/Plat and their assortment is above average. Same for breakfast (except no alcohol).
Right now concierge lounge is on the ground floor for both evening and morning (except evening it closes at 9p!) but they are working on getting a dedicated CL by end of May.
