The room needed repairs. Wallpaper peeling off every wall, tv did not turn on, bathroom fan didn’t work so pink mold around all faucets and tub, tile cracked in tub. The room needed a lot of love at a rate of almost $300 a night.

We love the historic beauty of this property, but it NEEDS a lot of TLC. The wallpaper in our room was literally peeling from the wall, 1 of our rocks glasses had a piece of glass at the top missing and a lamp shade was stained. Any one of these issue would be irrelevant to the big picture yet non we’re small enough to ignore. The check in line was slow and insane complimented by a $25 fee that gave us a food credit of $10 that was not useable since everything including the bar was closed when we’re were there to use (1 night stay for the Pink concert) and access to the wifi password that wasn’t t even needed. This is not our first stay, but may be our last-we are very disappointed in the Palmer House

I stayed at the Palmer House for the first time on 8/24/2024 for an overnight stay. Love the hotel. The breakfast at the Lakewood Restaurant was very good. The room was very nice and comfortable. The only issue is the bathroom was so small that the door hit the toilet when closing the door. The tub sides were tall to the point I did not feel comfortable stepping into it. I have physical limitations. Next time I stay here, I will make sure I book an ADA compliant room.

There was a $25 per day charge added for what I view to be junk fees (coupons to their restaurant, laundry) and they charged me for snacks I didn't use. Room was nice, but not worth the money to stay here.

Nice location and beautiful historic hotel with very attractive furnishings. However, the walls in the rooms are extremely thin to the extent you can actually hear the words in the conversations happening in the rooms next door… This problem did not improve with moving to another room. Staff are hit and miss on whether they are going to be helpful or friendly. Not my first choice next time I visit Chicago.

when checking in you are given a $20 coupon to use in the hotel. I was staying for 1 night and leaving early the next day. Only the grab and go was open at 6 am. I grabbed la $20 tuna sandwich and was told the price was wrong. It was really $25. I gave the man my coupon and $5 cash. I discovered that I was charged $30 to my room and charge card. Since I didn't keep a receipt , my attempt to reverse the charge went no where. Also , the check-in staff was dismissive and unhelpful regarding the information about the hotel and the coupons.

It's been awhile since I stayed at Palmer House Hotel, but I was shocked at the current condition of the hotel. Lobby and entry looked well enough, but hallways and our guestroom were shabby and in need of maintenance. I know this is a historic hotel and that is one of the draws of the place for me. Historic should not equal run down however. Peeling wall paper, a tear in the carpet of our hotel room large enough to cause me to trip and fall, lights not working, a toilet that ran constantly -- mechanical and maintenance issues that make a stay uncomfortable/unpleasant. Front desk staff were lovely -- especially Tashera at check-in. Valet parking staff were great also. Housekeeper started trying to access our room at 8:30 am day of check-out. We explained we would be out of the room before 10am and she could have it then. She entered or attempted to enter 4 more times after that, which made it difficult to finish preparing and packing up efficiently. The final time she entered was when we had left the DND sign on and took our luggage down to Valet to store in our car. When we returned to our room the Housekeeper was in the room, throwing out our breakfasts and coffee and collecting the belongings we had left in the room needed for meetings later in the day. It wasn't even 10am and we hadn't checked out! We were considering Palmer House for future events, but given the condition of the guest areas and behavior of housekeeping, we've removed it from our list.
