I just got back from a girls weekend in Chicago. We stayed at the Allerton and I was pleasantly surprised. After reading some reviews, I was a bit worried about how the experience would be. That being said, here was my experience... The location is absolutely great! Right in the middle of Michigan Ave and shops. We easily walked to... more

Situated on the corner of Michigan Avenue and Erie, with a view of the Water Tower from our room, I couldn't have asked for a better location. I truly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The decor was chic without being overdone. The room was also tastefully decorated, although incredibly small. Having stayed in many hotels in Europe, I'm used... more

After hearing such great reviews of the Allerton I was disapointed in my stay. The rooms were shockingly SMALL as were the hallways and restaurant/bar area. The elevators are VERY small and VERY SLOW. Once one elevator arrived only 3 people could fit into an elevator, or one person and some luggage. With 28 floors and only 3-4 elevators, you... more

I was recommended to this Hotel by my friend who lives in Chicago. Got really good rates from Expedia. Had an issue to deal with and the manager Tracy solved it effortlessly and instantly. One person can make a big difference with your stay! Pros: Good service, good manager, great location. Cons: Have to pay for wireless (except on 2nd... more

Booked a stay here through an ad on travelzoo for $89 w/tax. Mostly clean rooms, friendly staff, GREAT location! Room was small but I was expecting as much. The location was absolutely perfect. My only complaint is that my friend dropped my parking stub at the front desk for me at 10:45PM and when I went to pick it up... more

Arrived at this hotel on a cold sunday afternoon and I was greeted by very friendly staff, and free steaming hot chocolate and marshmellows. A great way to warm up the rooms were functional, clean and comfortable. Had a great view, when I return to Chicago I would not hestate to stay here again. The staff were incredibly attentive and... more

The staff was friendly and helpful. When checking in, the front desk manager (Tracy Hunter) selected 3 other rooms for us to look at because the "petite room" wouldn't fit 2 people and our luggage. We got the room through priceline and we've never had a problem with any room until now. Tracy told us there would be an upcharge... more

This is a great location, in terms of shopping and seeing the most attractive part of downtown Chicago. The hotel itself is relatively inexpensive for this part of town and for overall quality. There are a few aspects of the place that are a drawback, as has been noted in prior reviews. First, the place is hampered by its inadequate... more

This is the second year in a row we stayed for three nights at the Allerton Hotel; the fact that we came back speaks highly of the property. We really like this place. It's funky, though. When you enter from the street level on Huron (even though it is a Michigan Avenue address), you are greeted by a doorman, but... more
