Hi all,
I have reservations at the Westin Michigan Avenue on an award stay this weekend and have two questions...

(1)
I just called the hotel to check on parking rates and they're an incredible $42/night. I asked if there were other garages in the area, but they lady wasn't much help. Does anyone know of a parking garage nearby (say 1-2 blocks max) that would be significantly cheaper? If it's a marginal savings, it's probably not worth the hassle. I won't need my car all weekend, just going to park it and leave it until I check out.

(2)
I'm SPG Plat and am hoping for a nice upgrade for this special weekend with my special lady. What type of room upgrade should I hope for (or specifically request)?

I've stayed at the Sheraton Towers many times (closer to my office), but thought I'd try this property for it's location to shopping/dining, etc. Hoping for a nice experience.

Thanks!
