The Palmer House Hilton Hotel Chicago, Chicago

The hotel's location is excellent, making it easy to reach business meetings and restaurants. While it offers a historic and beautiful experience in The Palmer House, the dining options could be more accommodating. Chicago is an underrated gem with plenty to explore, especially when staying in the heart of the city's business Downtown Loop.

Upon arrival, I noticed some peeling wallpaper and markings in the room, but unfortunately, the long line at reception made it challenging to switch rooms quickly. Despite the lack of soundproofing, the room was adequately clean and provided many amenities. However, maintaining a consistent temperature was a bit of a struggle during my stay.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, while on the small side, were clean and the bed was comfortable, making it suitable for a business visit or a couple. However, the room had old garbage under the bed, which was a bit off-putting.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with two queen beds and two closets that are a bit old-fashioned but nice, featuring very comfortable beds. Although some areas like the bathroom and sleeping areas could use restoration due to wear and tear, any missed housekeeping was promptly addressed by the late afternoon. A minor disturbance could be heard from outside the bedroom into the early morning hours.

The hotel boasts a lovely and clean room with a fully stocked minibar and wonderfully comfortable bed. While some minor renovations could enhance the overall look, the spacious room with two small bathrooms, closet, refrigerator, and safe offers great value for money.
