I'm in Chicago this weekend (or more accurately near O'Hare), and am staying at both the Holiday Inn Elk Grove and Westin Chicago Northwest.

I've noticed a pattern in both your suite upgrades and in my own...they are often into "problem suites" that might otherwise be unacceptable if paying full price. A recent Park Hyatt upgrade got me a wonderful room with large windows looking into a brick building just a few feet away. Four Seasons offered a huge room in the back over a parking lot (declined) instead of my existing "view" room in the front over looking the English countryside and waterways.

The desk doesn't look very heavy. Why didn't you move it?

(Of course that begs the question - why isn't it nearer to the outlets in the first place? But sometimes a little self-help goes a long way. And maybe if they find the desk over by the outlets a few times, they'll get the idea.)

Was this near the corner of the building or the elevators? These are places where architects often show a relative lack of competence.

@ Jeff -- Well because my computer cord could reach the outlet, but even if I moved my desk my iPhone charger couldn't have. That's because you literally had to lift the heavy curtains a couple feet to access the outlets.

@ VG -- It was indeed a corner room.

You got a corner room, not a suite, what a shame considering this property has about 24 real suites. Here is a picture.
