W Chicago - Do not stay
I am at the SANS GSSP second face to face in Chicago (photos soon). SANS have chosen a nice hotel, the W Lakeshore right on Lake Michigan.
Until 10 pm tonight, it was awesome. But then at 10 pm… It was spoiled by the Richter level 4.0-4.9 bass drivers (seriously! - we’re feeling it in our waters - constantly - my diet Pepsi has ripples in it). It’s 1.30 am. I have to get up at 7.30 am - on a Sunday, a miracle not often seen - even with a good night’s sleep.
This hotel has forgotten its core duty: a good night’s sleep for ALL of its guests. We are the ones paying nearly US $400 per night, not the young things paying $10 for a drink at the nightclub.
Never come here - spread the word.

No, I mean - do not stay at the W Lakeshore. Terrible, terrible place. I was totally gutted this morning, something a two hour time difference rarely does for me.
Unless the OWASP meeting is in Los Angeles, then no. :-/ I am currently in San Jose, but I leave for LAX tomorrow night.

Um..you wouldn’t have those problems at the Omni. Of course, you’ll die in the taxicab ride from the Starwood to the Omni.
Chicago has to most dangerous cab drivers anywhere.

Ohh, I’m sorry you didn’t have fun in Chicago. There are other hotels to stay at but I’m certain that if you complained to the hotel manager you would have gotten some form of compensation for your sleepless night.
