Independent hotels in Central Chicago, Chicago

"There are areas of the property outside that need some tlc. The hallways are outdated in decor but the room was clean and comfortable. The reception area was very pretty. The staff was courteous and friendly. The hotel itself has a good location walkable to the Soldier Field which we were in town for a concert there. There are walkable restaurants and parks nearby. We did not feel unsafe in the area. "

"safe area, quiet, great view."

"The Palmer House has many wonderful qualities to it. It’s a perfect location for those looking to explore Chicago. It’s right next to an elevated train stop and a close walk to many places. It’s a beautiful old historic hotel, incredible lobby, and for the most parts the rooms are well appointed. My room 16-179, was relatively clean… lot of smudges on the two mirrors…, the bed was very comfortable, and the amenities worked well. Perfect for a solo trip. It would not be a good room for two people or a family, seeing as it is way too small."

"I absolutely love love love this location the staff was amazing so professional and down to earth I love how convenient it is to all things Chicago and I love the ambience as soon as u walk in if your thinking about it do it "

"I stayed at this property with my family and we all loved it. My kids specifically lobed the game room, pool amd basketball court. I periodically loved the view from our balcony. The staff was all very friendly. I would definitely stay here again."

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel has a small but nicely decorated lobby with adequate seating. We loved our junior suite, which had two bathrooms (one with a shower). It would have been nice to have a microwave, but it did have a mini fridge and sink in the living room. The housekeeping staff did a fantastic job cleaning our room and providing fresh towels. We didn't use valet services, but the bell staff were very helpful with luggage storage and helping us with taxi and ride sharing needs. The hotel restaurant (Hoyts) was underwhelming and was more of a bar. But the wait staff were helpful and we did get a nightcap a couple of evenings there, and the Royal Eggs Benedict was delicious. Overall, the Royal Sonesta was a great place to stay. It was conveniently located to the theater district, architecture boat tour, and the big bus hop on/off, and we loved the views!"
