I stayed at the Palmer House Hilton only overnight, arriving very late and departing very early. It was probably my sixth trip to the hotel, though. It hasn't changed at all over the years I've stayed there. Guest rooms are a good bit worn and tired. The lobby area is gorgeous. I was delayed in Atlanta because of being bumped on a flight. I called the front desk at the Palmer House and let them know that I was going to be very late, indeed. The front desk clerk was very kind and said that he would note it on my reservation and make sure my room was ready to do when I arrived. Sure enough, my check in took only a couple of minutes and my bed had been turned down. I really appreciated that nicety.
The Palmer House's location cannot be beat. It is in the center of the loop with an elevated El station on one side and the underground red line station on the other. I was even able to walk to union station to catch my Amtrak train downstate the next morning without having to deal with a cab or bus.
