Beside the fact that dogs are allowed and the yapping kept me up all night, I can only say that everything else at the Palmer House is great. The room and the attitude of the employees was super. Management responded to my calls regarding the dog barking, but apparently the guests were out most of the evening. Solution: Don't visit... more

I stay at the Palmer House very often. I have gotten it for as little as $59 on Priceline. The last time I was there they offered me an uprgrade to the Executive Level for $29. It was great! I recommend asking if they have that available. You get an express elevator that only stops at the two executive floors.... more

I remember staying at the Palmer House about 10 years ago and thinking it was pretty run down. Not anymore. Very nicely decorated and conveniently located in Downtown. It's a pleasure to walk around the town in the summertime. The rooms are quaint and clean and quiet (I had the last room on the corridor). I liked that the windows... more

My son and I paid only $79 through Hotwire; so, it was a pretty good value. I thought the place was interesting; given they took great pains to retain the historical character of the building. The room was small but clean. They really kill you with the extras here, though. No coffee maker--no Wi-Fi- (well, for a price.) Parking is... more

When I called the hotel I was told that parking is included in the price of the room. Not so when I arrived with my car. I could have taken public transportation and saved my self $51 per day parking charge. The only hotel in the USA that has no coffee maker in the room so that if you want... more

Ideally located just off Michigan Ave., I could walk to where I needed to go. The hotel is grand in every way, with great decor and ambiance. My room was well-appointed, clean, and the beds comfortable. Excellent soundproofing done with the renovations. I work in hotel management for a living, so I looked for everything I look for when I... more

We stayed here 4 nights. My husband and I got a King as requested. We paid 25.00 for early check in, but only on one of our 2 rooms. My son was in a room next to us. We had noise problems one night when the guest on the other side of us had the TV on most of the... more
