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. On your floor there is complimentary beakfrast, complimentary hors deuvres, complimentary soft drinks 24hrs, and a bartender with a full bar. It's a beautiful hotel, but because it is so large it seems to be one of the more frequent hotels I get on Hotwire and Priceline. The only problem I have with the hotel is that it can sometimes take up to an hour to get your car from the valet if they are very busy. As long as you plan ahead with the that, this hotel is great.

If you stay just a short walk around the corner is a great pizza place called Excheckers.

We arrived at 11pm to be told thatwe had a double room reserved when in fact we had reserved a twin room .We were then informed that they were fully booked and they could not guarentee us a twin room the next day untill 5pm.We were told it was the fault of our travel agent but as all the other hotels we had used on our holiday had been twins i have my doubts.The manager said we could have put up beds in one of the suites for the night and aftera 12 hour flight i was not in the mood to argue.it can only be described as a very plush meeting room.we finally got our very small twin room the following day.Have contacted our travel agent but no responce as yet.On the upside Loved Chicago but woud not stay at the Palmer House again.

This place is very lovely and comfortable. Staff is kind, location outstanding. We stayed for 3 nights and we could walk to many places from here. The room service is wonderful and yummy!
