FWIW I ended up staying at the JW after all and I found it to be perfectly adequate, if not splendid. No upgrade but the staff were some of the friendliest I've ever encountered. Lounge was not spectacular but nice enough; my colleague and I closed it nearly every night. I'll probably make a point of staying here on future business trips to Chicago.
