We purchased two one night stays through Groupon, paying about $100.00 for each night. We live in the suburbs and come in to Chicago frequently and thought the Allerton would be a great place to frequent, due to it's location. We won't stay there again. The first stay was on a weeknight. We had room 824, across from the elevators.... More

We hear you loud and clear that nobody wants to be treated like a second class citizen, and this type of behavior is completely unacceptable.

Recently stayed at the Allerton on a Saturday night. We had a Groupon, so we stayed in a suite that was huge. Everything was very clean and comfy and we had a great view of the skyline. The best part of the hotel is the location- walking distance to Water Tower, tons of restaurants, and public transportation (we did not... More

Two nights at the Allerton was very pleasant. Purchased on Hotwire for $58 per night while many friends paid $100 more for other hotels in area. Bed was very very comfortable and bath & shower were very nice. Only negative was bath not having shelf or area for toiletries. Business Center with free printing, unheard of today but true. Paid...

On check in we specifically requested a room away from the elevator banks. We checked in early so there we still many rooms to choose from. When we went to sleep it sounded like a snow plow was operating in our room - we realized it was the service elevator. This went on the entire night. It turned out that... More

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!

Yes, our Petite rooms are on the smaller side, but depending on each guest's personal preference we offer a... More

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.

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.

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
