I'm in Chicago today, so I'm spening all of my warm-weather points today :D

Glad to have been of help - I'm sure many of us will be interesting in hearing a report when you get back - both your general impressions, and also how well the BVG and other facilities handled your needs.

Safe travels!

I read on the Starwood board that the rooms at the Westin are rather small.

Between Hilton and Westin, which would you pick? (Given their apparent close proximity)

As you know, I haven't been to the Westin yet but what I have consistently read is that there are several room options. The less expensive rooms are smaller and older. The renovated rooms, which are higher priced, sound more desireable.

Rooms at the Hilton are for sure smaller. Though, if you want to invest the extra dollar for upgraded accomodation, the view from the Hilton is spectacular.
