prncess, thanks for coming back to this thread and helping me. I stayed at the Hyatt OHare in October, and agree that the rooms are good post renovation and that the lounge is an unexpected pleasure. However, it is a massive hotel, which is not to my taste. Even more important, they charge something like $20/day for parking. We'll have a rental car, so prefer to find someplace with free parking.

I'll go look at the Westin thread/prices.
