"The art deco style was great and everything went pretty smoothly. Altogether a generally positive experience. The lobby is one level up from the ground floor, which was confusing at first since there was no sign to indicate that. The front desk staff was very curt at check in, like he’d had a bad day, but was not directly rude. It put a bit of a damper on the excitement of traveling. The room is quite small, though nicely furnished. It was fine for me traveling by myself, but my cousin and her husband found the room very small and had difficulty getting ready for a wedding in such tight quarters. A tip for those who wants scones during their free tea & scone service in the afternoon: go early if you want a scone. They won’t replenish them once they are gone, and the staffer said they go quickly."

"Room was a little small but worked out perfect! Great location."

"Amazing staff. Location and hotel, my room was amazing.would come again and again lol"

"I don’t understand the excellent reviews at this hotel. The hotel was in a great location. However the room was very dated and smelled of mildew and mold. Shower was filthy. Furniture was falling apart. Would not stay here again. "

"So good place and so central"

"Very small room w/ a queen bed. Barely moved around the bed. Room was filled with dust... like literally dust everywhere. On the bed lamp, table/desk covered with dust as if no one ever stayed/cleaned there... carpet floor is very sticky and damp... the smell of room was very mouldy... But!!! The location and price are golden. It is located in the center of Chicago downtown and so close to everything. Only 4min walk from red line metro, We walked everywhere. And it is very safe around the hotel even at night. We were busy exploring the city of Chicago so didnt mind of the condition of the room much since we were going to just get some sleep and get out again during the days. It got really cold at night (late Apr.) but the room has no heater, we asked fromt desk to see if we can get extra blankets and staff was so nice to offer us a small portable heater. If you are looking for something affordable, just to lay your head down at night but somewhere close to downtown, pier and riverwalk, this is the place that you need to pick to stay."

"I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. The room was very old and had a strong unpleasant smell as soon as we entered. The bed was also too short and uncomfortable, making it impossible to rest properly. Because of these issues, we decided to leave after only one hour and could not continue our stay. I would not recommend this hotel."

"I never made it to hotel due to airline canceling flight. The hotel would not give me full refund for something that was out of my control. I WOULD NEVER BOOK WITH THIS HOTEL AGAIN. there should be courtesy given when your flight is canceled and you have no way to get there. "

"The best thing for me about the Palmer House Hotel is its location just steps from the Red Line El Monroe station and only a block from the Blue Line Monroe station that goes to O'Hare Airport. It is one block from a large, convenient Target, a spectacular Macy's in the old Marshall Fields building and a block from the Art Institute Museum and another block to Milleneum Park (with the "bean" sculpture). Great theaters, restaurants and sites right out the door, and a Starbucks and easy menu order/pickup store with all kinds of quick pickup options all located just steps out of the elevator. This is a convenient, lovely, interesting hotel that is my first choice when staying in the "loop" in downtown Chicago. You don't really have to even leave the hotel to have an interesting array of things to see (the ceiling in the main dining/lobby area is stunning. And, the spa is great."
