Central United States Kid friendly Vacations

This was a really nice place to stay, especially for the pricce! It’s located in a great location in downtown Chicago close to many restaurants, shops, and grocery stores, museums and public transportation!There are some wonderful cafés to visit right outside the hotel, including a French cafe, and a Trader Joe’s close by for extras needed during your stay. As for the hotel itself, the customer service was exceptional which I might add, is hard to come by these days! They were very accommodations and the perks were a plus! They have a wonderful happy hour in which you get free snacks and cocktails! I mean who wouldn’t love that Extra Perk? The pool is nice also. The only caveat is there’s no hot tub. The rooms were clean. The bed was comfortable, smelled good, felt cozy, shower was lively. Everything was really nice over all!

Great staff & awesome location!

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 Rooms and heating were a little outdated but would definitely visit again.

This hotel was extremely family friendly, which was great! However, the waits for the elevators were constantly horrible. The pool was also smaller than the photo made it appear. It was too crowded with kids so we didn't use it. The sound in the rooms was overwhelming because you could hear elevators and people being loud all night straight through the walls and even on other floors. The pull out sofa bed was very uncomfortable but the regular beds were great! The room was pretty clean. The staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was very gross, and options were limited even with a variety being available. Vegetarian/vegan options were very few, the scrambled eggs were watery and cold, the hashbrowns were mushy, and most of the food was very bland and unseasoned. I would say this hotel was more kid friendly than business friendly, but I suppose it could be both if the sound quality was improved because the rooms were spacious, beautiful, and comfortable. We were not told ahead of time to use the valet or how to park, so we parked in the parking garage, and walked our bags all the way around the outside of the hotel, taking a very scary elevator that shook horribly up to the lobby area. Next time I would absolutely use the valet and not have to walk around outside at night with suitcases. Overall would stay here again, but would probably bring ear plugs and eat elsewhere.
