Disappointing stay at the Palmer House
Sleeping quarters were fine. Staff was friendly. Cleanliness not an issue. Bathroom was small and outdated. Service at check-in was awful, as was the availability of elevators. Waited almost thirty minutes to check in, and at least twenty minutes to get an elevator from the 15th floor to the street to make my final departure from the hotel. There were two convention groups at the hotel, but I can’t escape concluding that the Palmer House’s best days are behind it. It was certainly over-matched by the demands on it while I was there. Finally, the new mandatory “resort fee” was a rude shock and, in my view, totally uncalled for. The need for staff to explain it over and over to incoming guests at check-in had to be one of the reasons why that process was so slow and unpleasant. I have many fond memories of past stays at this Chicago landmark hotel, but have neither the wish nor the intention ever to go back there.

Great but not perfect.
Although the hotel is very nice and historic our room was a little run down, small, specially the bathroom. Some drawers didn't open and some outlets didn't work. The second courtain could not be raised. beds and pillows were great and also the daily room keeping.

Honest review
We were able to check in early as I prepaid. The room was adequate. The bathroom was small. The building was beautiful. We had a very nice time. We felt it was a bit speedy due to the Chicago marathon going on.
