So glad we stayed here
My husband and I stayed here for our 8th wedding anniversary and I am so glad we did. We were awestruck when we first walked into the lobby and my husband said he felt like we took a trip back in time. We paid the extra $45 for an upgraded floor on Executive or 23rd floor and we both feel the extra $45 was worth it. We got a king sized room with a great view of the city and and small view of the water. Our room wasn't huge but was just fine for the two of us to relax. I personally thought our bed was comfortable and slept easily in it, but it was a bit too soft for my husband's liking. Even though we were on the Executive level we could still hear the L train a bit, but it wasn't enough to keep us up or anything like that and is just a part of being in the city. 
Since we were on the executive level we were also privy to the lounge that hosted a free continental breakfast, hor d'eourvs and late night snacks. The breakfast included mini croissants, delicious scones, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, fresh fruit, jams and jellies, muffins, bagels, toast and for protein I had hard boiled eggs and deli turkey and salami. The hor d'eourv reception included chicken wings with buffalo sauce on the side, cheese and potato pierogies, an assortment of fresh veggies, fruit and cheeses, crackers, hummus and other snacks. 
Please take a few minutes to tune into the Palmer House Channel on the TV and learn some interesting facts about the hotel. We felt honored to have stayed in such a storied and significant hotel and every staff member we encountered was very accomodating and pleasant.
