Palmer House a Hilton Hotel
Our room was ok, small but clean. Bed and sheets were very nice. Bathroom was very small. Not a lot of amenities in the room. The beauty of this hotel are the public areas, the lobby and its location in the loop. Nice place, just the rooms were so so. Pretty good food options in the hotel also.

River Forest Hotel & Travel Guide\n
River Forest is an affluent city just 11 miles outside of Chicago. Several celebrities and successful entrepreneurs live in the area. The suburb even has a home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Despite the relatively high cost of real estate in the area, you can find plenty of hotel deals in River Forest that will make your stay affordable.
Visiting River Forest
River Forest is equidistant from O'Hare International Airport and Chicago Midway International Airport. Both airports have many car rental options. You can also take a cab or the train. Some of the best hotels in River Forest offer shuttle services, so you may want to take advantage of that opportunity to save some time and money. After you've settled into one of the River Forest hotels, you should venture into nature by visiting Thatcher Woods, a 245-acre woodland positioned between River Forest and neighboring Oak Park. In addition to walking the numerous trails at the park, you can learn more about local plants and wildlife at the Trailside Museum of Natural History. Other public parks in River Forest include Fullerton Woods, Jerome Huppert Woods, and Keystone Park. When you're ready to head inside, check out Concordia University and Dominican University to see what events they have scheduled. Keep an eye out for shows by the Kapelle choral ensemble at Concordia and music performances at Dominican University's Lund Auditorium. When you want something to eat, head to the corridors along Central Avenue or West North Avenue. Both streets have a range of restaurants offering Mexican, Italian, and Asian cuisines.
