Hal Palmer Park

Great property. Prime location. Enjoyed my stay and would stay there again.

The Emily Hotel was suggested by ChatGPT along with other options as I asked Ai to help plan my visit to the Obama Center. The Obama Center is great by the way. The front desk staff at the Emily helped us change rooms thankfully. The view in our first room was to a dumpster (or obstructed view of some sort. — a real eye sore). We moved to a street view and it was truly a street view. We could see those on the street well and they could see us. The highlights were that the staff were nice — That helped. We could walk to restaurants. The hotel is basic to us (and not close so where we were going). It was very hot in Chicago when we were there (fyi) but no pool at this hotel. The bath tub is too high off the floor. It’s in a case that you must climb over to step into (it’s a shower/tub combo). That seemed dangerous. We almost slipped getting out more than once. Overall the hotel is fine. We were looking for an experience to support the experience we were about to have and this hotel didn’t add to it but it’s fine and depending on what you are traveling for, it can work. Google is nearby.
