This hotel was a very pleasant surprise. It is very much in the tradition of a fine "old" hotel. The rooms are very well appointed albiet small, but the bed is very comfortable and the room, bathroom & ammenities very top notch. The elevators which have been a topic of conversation in previous reviews are adequate for the traffic. Of... more

We've always wanted to visit Chicago and booked a 4 night stay through Travelocity. On your site, I had read reviews on this hotel and decided to try it out. We stayed in a Junior Suite , which was very spacious and comfortible. The entire staff was very helpful in providing us with good advise on transportation around town. I... more

What a great hotel. The location is perfect for easy access to the magnificent mile, Navy Pier, the river walk, Lincoln Park, etc. is seemed like we were only a few minutes from everything we wanted or needed. Renovations appear to be almost completely finished, except no mini-bars installed yet. Room was very clean, bed was nice, large bathroom (King... more

I booked our 2 night stay at the Allerton through their website and got a king bed room for $130/night. I would suggest flying there if possible because parking is $51/day. (most of the downtown Chicago hotels have crazy parking fees) 1. great location - right in front of Crate and Barrel on Michigan Ave. Seriously, for the price you... more

The good news: The Location is the ONLY saving grace for this hotel. It is located in the magnifiient mile area, which is awesome. Now for the BAD news: Just about EVERYTHING else in this hotel SUCKS. The rooms are BOXY as hell. It is THE smallest room I have ever lived in. The bathrooms & elevators have TINY as... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Allerton in May 2008 upon recommendations from his family. We found that the Allerton suited our basic needs for a reasonably-priced, safe, clean and centrally-located hotel. I can see, though, why other reviewers have been disappointed, especially if they paid for and expected an above-average stay. Our positives: We could not have asked... more

After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, I was a bit skeptical about this property. However the rate I obtained on Hotwire ($139/nt) was too good to pass up. Don't know where all the negative comments were coming from. I had no issues whatsoever with the elevator. It was always quick to arrive. Yes, the room was small, but I... more

No vending machines, limited hours for the restaurant and room service. Go to the grocery store before heading up to your room because if you get hungry in the middle of the night, you won't get any help in the hotel. more
