Copied and pasted straight from your post to my REPL it works fine.
Maybe verify that you're actually doing what you think you're doing?
That said, this function already exists: it's called get.
user=> (def *places* {:room "Nice room"
:basement "what ever"})
#'user/*places*
user=> (defn describe-place [place places]
(places place))
#'user/describe-place
user=> (describe-place :room *places*)
"Nice room"
user=> (get *places* :room)
"Nice room"
