Hi all, am planning a family trip to Chicago. Which Marriott/SPG hotels in the downtown area have the best platinum benefits? Am interested in breakfast as I figure WiFi and gym are table stakes. Thx!

I have to travel to my client every week and the client’s office is attached to a very nice hotel that’s $250 per night. There’s a hotel right across the street that’s $150 per night.. it’s alright, but not as great. Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?

Offtopic: Which is the best health insurance (company) to buy for parents? Please suggest as per prior firsthand experience in claims, settlement, premium etc.

With such increase I do not think it will be viable for long term. So planning to switch/port.

I find myself on maternity leave with a sweet baby that likes to nurse basically all the time. Can you ladies suggest streaming series / podcasts / audiobooks etc? All subjects are fair game. Thank you!
