Looking to spoil my nephew with a weekend in Chicago for his birthday. Need recommendations for a Marriott with a pool and lounge. Currently looking at Renaissance over JW, Sheraton, and W. Thoughts?

Renaissance for location. The W and JW in this town are run down and lame location. Sheraton is not central enough.

True that ☝️

Need to know his age first. Post wasnt clear. All ages love pools but for different reasons at different scenes.

7 year old. Plan to do the museums, Maggie Daley Park, and Navy Pier. Probably skip the zoo as we did that the last couple of years. Cubs are out of town that week. CTA is more convenient to Renaissance, but Uber works just as well. JW doesn't have much of a view and the loop is dead after hours and weekend.

Plan to use points or 35k free night cert from CC.

As a seven year old I would honestly be excited about any four star hotel (if middle class background). Just order some nice room service at some point to cap it off!

I think the Renaissance is a solid choice. Pool there is basic but good enough for that age and location is great. I would put the Sheraton second as it is close to Navy Pier and Maggie Daley park
