We stumbled upon the Palmer after a 'less than nice' experience at the Marriott, and were pleasantly surprised at what we found. My sisters and I were visiting Chicago on a girls weekend and we had a *great* time at this hotel. The Palmer is located on 'The Loop' which means you are close to great shopping and sights around downtown. We were within walking distance (20 minutes) from Navy Pier and with the sunny day we had it was a quick, beautiful walk. The hotel is located near great stores for shopping. Cabs wait in front of the hotel for your every need and the main bus route is just a quick walk down the street. This hotel is in the center of everything and with a map and a good sense of direction you'll be able to find all of the sights, smells, sounds, and tastes that Chicago has to offer. For those on a budget, Subway, McDonalds, 7-11, Baskin Robbins/Dunkin Donuts are short walk also. Since there is no continental breakfast offered at this hotel you may want to check out the Bakery just around the corner from the hotel. There is also a small sit down eatery with very reasonable prices right around the corner as well. The hotel itself is historically grand and so beautiful and elegant. Black and white pictures of celebrities adorn the hallways and although the our room was small it was just right for the three of us ladies and our weekend luggage. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Overall I'd highly recommend the Palmer House. We are already planning our next trip and will stay at this hotel each time we visit downtown Chicago.
Pros: Romantic Ambience, Great Customer Service, Great central Location
Cons: You have to pay extra for internet access
