You pays your money and takes your chances
Chicago is an expensive city and looking at comparative pricing, agree BW Grant Park is reasonably priced. However....
1. Room booked through PriceLine one month prior as BW Grant Park could not provide contiguous room booking. Was suggested by BW to try Priceline, etc who had block bookings. A questionable reservation status the day before arrival (on a whim, decided to confirm) revealed no room booked. Problem was eventually resolved but not without great anxiety.
2. Executive Room provided was not the greatest. First, was right beside the elevator shaft, so mercifully after a certain early morning hour, activity diminished. The loveseat in the alcove was cute, but there was nothing to look at beside the desk and bed. The TV was placed to be viewed only from lying on the bed.
3. Hotel advertised free WiFi in all the rooms. Maybe so, but not on the 9th floor. Interestingly, there was a radio carrier signal (connection established but no access to Internet). Hotel staff tried a couple of times but could not figure out the problem. It looked like the phone line or cable connection was not made or the Modem was not working. They would not let me diagnose the problem, but provided me with a LAN cable for a wired connection. This worked OK on my Notebook but useless for my iPhone.
While the Hotel gave me a $50 discount on my room as a result, the offset was not significant enough to counter the extra charges for using my iPhone as a Hotspot. The wired connection was dodgy. Their IT support could not correctly identify the SMTP POP server name that I could send out emails from.
4. The TV was likely purchased at a garage sale in the 1990's since the TV was of 1980 vintage. A CRT era behemoth with no auxiliary audio/video HDMI or discreet inputs. Really, BW has better standards than this elsewhere! Are disposal costs entering into consideration for keeping these units? For God's sake, buy a $400 modern flatscreen TV and charge an extra 50 cents a day written off over 2 years.
5. The fridge ran too cold and froze all the items left in it, including some bottled water frozen solid. Luckily, the wine had enough alcohol content preventing it from freezing.
6. Room had a run down look. Some paint was peeling by the desk. The curtains were hard to close. The shower had the force of a butterfly's wings.
In short, the accommodation was adequate but did not match the higher standards of BW elsewhere. Charles H. has the right idea - pay a little more and stay in a much better place elsewhere.
