My husband and I (we're in our mid 20s) took a long weekend to see Chicago and "get away" from St Paul, MN. Our experience at the Allerton exceeded expectations at every turn. We arrived via train and took a very short taxi ride to the hotel from Union Station. We were greeted with lemonade in the lobby and warmly... more

I stayed in a standard guest room at the Allerton Tip Top Tap (per the big neon sign on the bldg) for a business meeting a few blocks away. This is an older Chicago hotel that my grandmother told me she often visited for lunch as a young woman. It is right on the Miracle Mile of N. Michigan Ave.,... more

My husband and I stayed at the Allerton for 3 nights. At first, the hotel seemed great. Fantastic location (right on the Mile), nice decor and friendly staff. The longer we were there, the more we noticed that could be improved. The room we had was very small with hardly any storage space for our clothes. Most of our stuff... more

I was very disappointed in the hotel and shocked that they have maintained their 3 1/2 star rating. I can actually handle the small room as the location is great and even can get by that it really isn't renovated. But, the unprofessional and un-friendly staff is inexcusable to me. I arrived in from a long day of traveling @... more

My husband surprised me with a weekend away in Chicago for my birthday. He booked the Allerton on Hotwire and got a fantastic deal - $200/night. We were not expecting much since everything else right downtown is near $500. This hotel was a little hard to find since we were looking for the entrance right on Michigan. The entrance is... more

I booked the Allerton through Hotwire on a convention weekend in Chicago when many hotels were booked. Based on the previous reviews I'd seen here, I was nervous about my planned three-night stay there. As it turned out, I was right to be. To say that the room is small is an understatement. The floorplans on the hotel website seriously... more

For the most part, very pleased with our weekend stay at the Allerton. Very stylish boutique hotel right in the middle of Magnificent Mile. Room was small, but no smaller than expected for a city room (I've seen smaller in New York!). Staff was very friendly and helpful when we had questions about getting around. On the day of our... more

I only stayed here one night but after my terrible stay at the Hilton (see other review) I was delighted! The location is far better than the Hilton - you step out onto lots of high-end shops and malls. The lobby is hip (with accompanying hip music) and the staff courteous and friendly. The room was small but contemporary, clean,... more

We stay in Chicago twice a year for business and have tried many hotels. Here is my laundry list of problems with The Allerton: 1) Used tissue on the floor next to the bed when I arrived and never picked up by housecleaning during my stay. 2) Splatter from waste basket on bottom of desk never cleaned from previous guest.... more
