Don't pre-pay for parking with reservation
Paid for parking as part of my Hotels.com registration. The registration details don't specify where to park, and the desk clerk's directions were not sufficient for me to find the correct parking location. Had to park elsewhere which cost $61, and hotel was unable to refund the $30 parking payment I had already paid as part of my reservation because I booked through hotels.com. So I essentially paid $91 for one night of parking.

We have stayed at the Palmer house last Christmas 2023 as well as this year 2024 and in the past. In 2023 they charged a $25 per night fee that you could get back at their bar/restaurants, spa, dry cleaning services etc. You just charged to your room. This year they changed it to only get $10 a day back of fee per day in bars/restaurants on their property. This fee is not obvious and explained that well until you check in. We donated $15 for each night as we didn't use other services. Overall, the Palmer is a beautiful, historic hotel and great service if you need something. We were on the South side and heard the L train all the while in room and offered to move us. We were only there 2 nights so didn't pay to change. They also had a guitar musician in the grand lobby on Christmas eve and so nice to come back to after being with family before returning to our room.

I had high hopes for this iconic hotel.
I enjoyed the ambiance at first, but all the old carpets and upholstery along with the faux deco finishes wore on my nerves after a while and it just felt dark. Food was mediocre. Bathroom soaps and lotion were empty. The toilet paper and tissues were just awful, thin and scratchy. The old elevators are so slow it was a nuisance.

We have stayed at the Palmer House in past years and really enjoyed ourselves. This time however, it was quite disappointing. The room number was 10-218, and it was not great. The bathtub had been obviously painted over several times, was chipping and gross looking, the shower curtain rod was falling down and you couldn’t close it all the way. The tile floor was cracked and dirty. The lamp on the bedside table was dusty and had some sticky substance on the lamp base. Our room total was just under $600. Plus parking. I took photos and attempted to reach the Palmer House, but have heard nothing back. I wouldn’t pay $300/ night for a room here. Super disappointed as we stayed from 12/20-12/22 and this was suppose to be a fun getaway with our teen daughter. I would not recommend staying here.

It was an enjoyable stay, just a bit over-crowded. Never had to stand in line for 20 minutes to check in.

The decor of the hotel, and the Christmas decorations were absolutely wonderful! Sitting in the crowded lobby enjoying an appetizer and drink was a great way to start the holiday season !

The property itself is beautiful and historical, but unfortunately, our experience fell short. Upon check-in, our room had not been vacuumed and contained clothing from previous guests. My daughter’s room was even worse — the bed was made, but the room was unclean, with full garbage bins, a leaking toilet, and a dirty bathroom. Despite bringing these issues to the front desk, only the bathroom was partially cleaned, and the toilet continued leaking, with garbage still unemptied. For the price we paid, we expected far better attention to cleanliness and maintenance. Very disappointing.

We got to the property early, around 2:15pm to check in to our suite. We were told, a few minutes and our room would be ready and gave our personal phone number. It was recommended to get a drink while we wait, and the service to get a drink was ridiculous, let alone pricey ($30 for a beer and cranberry vodka). We heard nothing from the front desk about our room before 3pm. When my husband went up to the counter to get the room keys, waited another 15mins in line until he was helped and was told the room was still unavailable then told to step aside for others to be helped. We did not get our room key until after 3:30pm. The text was received at 3:35pm saying the room was available. We found a used travel size bottle of soap in the shower, a stain on a bathroom floor mat, the water temp took several minutes to get to warm, the tile floor grout was disgusting, no bottle openers at the room bar, etc. Forcing people to pay for a resort fee of $25 is also unacceptable, regardless if there are "perks" (at the time, this was not known or offered while we waited for the room to be ready. Next morning, the restaurant said there was a 45min wait for breakfast and there were several empty tables. The hotel standards received were poor. Recommendations to staying here is not happening. We would like to share pjctures as well!
