There was no shampoo or shower gel in the room. The room was dirty and smelled terrible. I tried to call the reception, but no one answered. I definitely wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

Our first stay at Palmer house was a very welcoming experience. The location in downtown Chicago made everything along Michigan ave and surrounding sights easily accessible. The multiple entries were super helpful while walking around and navigating the cold (polar vortex). Ride share and even DoorDash deliveries were easy. The resturant offered a delightful breakfast and complimentary menu. Rooms and heating were a little outdated but would definitely visit again.
