Wow! What a neat hotel! I would not have chosen the Allerton had it not been for a Groupon offering last month. I’m so glad for that because the Allerton is such a lovely boutique hotel right in the heart of the Mag Mile. We arrived right before the little snowstorm of Jan. 20 and got our car valet-parked so... More

The Allerton is a staple of the Magnificent Mile. It couldn't be any better situation to the great dining, shopping and entertainment of Chicago. Rooms can be small... avoid the Petite unless you are by yourself. This is a boutique hotel and sometimes feels like a New York-style boutique hotel. Staff is very helpful and upgraded us for free!

Dear ThurmanMurman, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are one of the lucky hotels to be in the heart of the Magnificent Mile which makes for a great hub for guests wanting to take in all the popular Chicago attractions. Yes, our Petite rooms are on the smaller side, but depending on each guest's personal preference we offer a... More

Got a decent rate with Groupon deal. Location was ideal. Reasonable walking distance from the subway system with 1 connection from airport (a 3 day pass was great deal for... More

My stay there was not really pleasant, for the Price that they normally charge, I did not expect the Wallpaper to be loose and starting to come of the wall.

We were able to check in on a Saturday morning around 10 a.m. Front desk was very helpful and even upgraded our room from a petite to a Queen. Glad they did that as this room was adequate but I would hate to know how small a petite is. The room looked as though it had been recently redone. Large... More

Dear kayoung1, Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you were upgraded to a queen-sized guest room upon arrival. Given our close distance from Northwestern Hospital and Michigan Avenue, it is true that the street noise (i.e. ambulance sirens) would be more frequent than expected. I do apologize that your ability to enjoy a good nights... More

Our room on the 10th floor was nicely renovated and appointed with a queen-sized bed, and a partial view of the old water tower and the Hancock building. Although it was very close to the elevators, we didn't hear them at all. The bathroom was larger than I expected, and had a full tub - not just a stall shower,... More

We stayed at the Allerton on New Year's Eve this year. Our first obstacle was finding the place! We usually use public transport when staying in the city, but decided to drive this time because we needed to be somewhere the next day - our mistake! The address is Michigan Ave., but the hotel entrance is on the side street,... More

This hotel is in a classic building with a renovated touch. The furnishings are modern, visually appealing and comfortable. The rooms for Downtown Chicago felt spacious though they are not and are appointed with a workspace, Ipod docks, closets, individual room temp controls, tv, a nook for the suitcase and lovely bathrooms. The bed was heavenly. It was within walking... More

I too purchased a Living Social coupon for the Allerton. I had stayed there before, a number of years ago. We did not have to wait for check in, BUT a paper copy of the coupon was required, necessitating a trip to the business center and a wait for others to finish using the two computers available. If restaurants can... More
