My favs!
The Palmer House is my favorite hotel in Chicago. I love the history and the grand lobby is always breathtaking. Recently, they’ve done a great job of renovating rooms- giving them a needed refresh. And that hotel gym is way beyond expectations! I always make time for a cocktail in the lovely bar as well.

Not super clean.
Nice hotel but there was a used contact on the nightstand…so I wasn’t feeling like the room had been wiped down thoroughly.

Porter's Burger Bar was great, location and parking are convenient, historic main spaces are lovely. Lockwood Express (including "famous" brownie) and in-room snacks were stale and overpriced. Service was hit or miss. Guest rooms and hallways are on the small side and feel somewhat run down. Some Chicago hotels at this price point include more standard services for free like Wi-Fi, breakfast, and sometimes parking. But the location can't be beat for what we were in town for, the stay was quieter at night (better insulated from outside noise) than some places we've stayed in Chicago, and it was fun to stay in such a historic hotel.
