Firstly anybody arriving by Metro from O`Hare would be wise to get off at Monroe on red line rather than Madison or Adams on Brown line as Monroe has escalator which is handy-Adams/Madison do not-bit of struggle get suitcases down stairs and small turnstile exit. I got a good deal off Expedia for my 2 day stay so treated myself.
The first floor to Palmer House is amazing like stepping into an Art Gallery with fabulous ceilings
and marble everywhere. Being such a large hotel you will obviously get some problems.
Room was a reasonable size and comfortable. Unfortunately a Saturday night stay would not be recommended. 8 separate occasions between 1.15-4.50 am I got various interruptions from people wandering around the floor. The worst was a couple argueing at 2.20 at end of corridor
-called security who came straight away-very impressive. Of course I couldnt call them everytime someone made a racket as they usually go away after few mins. Was tempted when some people shouted Happy Birthday at 4.30 am in a room-amazed nobody kicked off at that.
I managed to get $25 voucher for breakfast which was handy but feel it should have been more for an interrupted nights sleep. I have to say the breakfast was superb as you would expect-excellent choices available. Sunday was total contrast as you wouldnt know anybody was around-good nights sleep.Like several reviewers 8 Oct/22 Sept I felt this spoiled my stay in a lovely hotel.
