After working with our travel agent we settled on the Allerton for the price and location. I read SEVERAL reviews that mentioned the parking and the "hidden" fee of $51 per night. Also that the elevators and rooms were SMALL. Everything was indeed the way I read. I opted to find my own parking and after a complaint of the... more

The Allerton was everything I expected. The location was fantastic. All major tourist attractions were within walking distance. The check-in desk was helpful in that even though we arrived early (11am), we were able to check in and go to our rooms right away, giving us plenty of time to rest before venturing out. Elevators can be a problem even... more

My husband and I stayed in one of the classic rooms. It was small but perfect for us. We weren't spending much time in the room so didn't need/want anything more. It was clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fine . We lucked out with a room that faced Michigan Avenue. We (especially I) enjoyed the boutique... more

We are a family of three (adults with a "tween") and have stayed at two other hotels on the Mag Mile during previous Chicago trips. This, by far, was our least liked hotel. First the good stuff: superb access to the Mag Mile, tons of shopping, easy access to CTA bus routes, nearby restaurants and access to tourist attractions. And... more

This is an older hotel situated near the north end of the Magnificent mile. The rooms have been updated but don't expect a huge room by any means. The hotel itself is nice enough. If you're coming or going during what I call 'prime' times you will experience a long delay at the elevators. Note: Only one elevator is qualified... more

We had a very pleasant stay at the Allerton from Aug 4-10. We are a family of four, with two young children, so we did book a specialty suite (Room 801). The size was adequate and a very good setup for us, with the separate bedroom. In addition, all of our special requests – mini fridge added to room, a... more

my husband and I stayed here for an overnight trip to do some shopping. This hotel is located right on the Mile. We took a chance on one of the petite rooms for a great price and were not disappointed. It was small but it was clean and appeared to be updated. We would definitely stay here again if we... more

What everyone needs to realize is that the Allerton Hotel is an old hotel in a very large downtown area. The rooms will not be large unless you get a suite. It will not be like a hotel in the suburbs. The hotel has made improvements which are very nice. There is cold lemonade in the afternoon and hot coffee... more

I'm writing this review from the hotel. I'm here for a conference that is taking place at the Allerton and a block of rooms were set aside. I stayed here 9 years ago or so and it was very old and needed to be updated. When I saw that the conference would be here my first thought was "are they... more
