Our take
By Matt Spaulding, Founder and writer
The Palmer House has a heated indoor pool on the eighth floor, free to registered guests from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and that pool is the practical reason to pick it. Guests report long check-in lines and limited elevators at busy times, so build in time on arrival. It's an 8-minute walk to Cloud Gate. Pets up to 75 lb are allowed for a fee the hotel calls nominal and doesn't publish. Hilton's booking screen folds a $25.00 mandatory charge per night into the price it shows, with taxes and government charges added after. Self-park in the garage across the street at 55 East Monroe is $57 a night, and it can be charged to the room. The charge and the garage together come to $82 a night that isn't the room, $246 over three nights. Tax on the garage rate isn't stated. Valet at the Monroe Street entrance is $85 for overnight guests, with unlimited in and out.
