The lobby, the location and the price (Priceline via BetterBidding.com) were great. It was about 150 feet from the orange line train stop (direct from Midway). The hotel is an old one, so don't expect all of the modern amenities. I paid $75 a night and got a standard room. It was small, the bathroom was small and the TV... more

Stayed over a weekend. Great weekend rates. Grand old lobby. People at the check-in counter were courteous and professional. Concierge staff very helpful. Double room on 13th floor was comfortable, spacious and well appointed. Everything was in excellent condition. The hotel is huge and was very crowded with business meetings and private functions throughout the weekend. Waiting times for the... more

Room (#146, 18th floor) left much to be desired: broken shower head, broken towel rack, no coffee service, carpet dirty. Puzzled that the cost of the "Continental Breakfast Buffet" in the lobby restaurant was more expensive than ordering a full American breakfast through room service.... Poor soundproofing between rooms and between room and hall. more

I came into town a little early to see my sister but found that I really did not want to venture out of the hotel! Being a top tier VIP, I was allowed a very early check-in and upgraded to the Executive Floor. The room has the classic Hilton bed that you can melt in with expensive linens for class.... more

My son and I traveled to Chicago to do a college visit to the University of Chicago. I used Priceline and booked a room for us at the Parker House Hilton. We arrived on the Sunday of Columbus Day weekend, also the date of the Chicago Marathon. I called the day before to check on the bed situation. I was... more

Upon check-in, met with an older white male clerk who looked at me as though I smelt bad when he saw we booked through hotwire. (I am an African-American female) He proceeded to say they were sold out (on a Tuesday night) and offer me a roll away in a partial suite or a smoking room. There are no amenities... more

I just returned from a 2 night stay at the Hilton. The hotel is gorgeous, with an amazing, ornate lobby. I arrived at O'hare Really early in the morning and they let me check in at 9 a.m. They asked me if I wanted to upgrade to the executive floor. i had gotten a great deal on Priceline so I... more

We stayed one night at this hotel and loved it. It was convenient to many downtown attractions. We took a bus up to the American Girl Place and rode the subway back (our kids, 4 & 6, loved these "rides"!). Also, there is a great pizza place just around the corner from the hotel. Our room was clean and decorated... more

The palmer is in a great location. It is 2 blocks from great shopping, including Macys,HM, Sears, Nordstrom Rack and close to Millenium Park. The entrance of the hotel is beautiful and the famous ceiling is worth the money. The room itself is a little out dated, it is nice but you are really paying for the location and the... more
