Dear Tourists, do not miss staying at the Allerton Hotel.

We travel to Chicago a couple of times a year and when shopping on Magnificent Mile this property always attracted me to stay. If you are the type of person who loves to go shopping on the most famous street in Chicago and dine at fine restaurants within walking distance then this is the area to stay. We requested high...

If you don’t plan on spending any time in the room this is a good place to stay. Booked through Hotwire and it was only recommended by 75% of customers. We booked a queen and there was no way it was a queen bed. The view was very nice and we could see the Chicago water tower. All though you... More

The room was TINY (it was a standard room) and the bed was a bit... tired. But it was a great location, the bathroom was nicely upgraded, and the linens were lovely and soft, as were the pillows. The elevator bank makes the adjacent rooms a funny shape, which means the bed is jammed in such that one person has... More

We returned from a 4 day visit in Chicago. We secured our reservations through hotwire. Luckily, the reviews through tripadvisor prepared me for the small rooms. We did take the upgrade with one of the rooms and negotiated a complimentary upgrade with the other. Each room seemed to have a different layout. The double beds seemed more roomy than the... More

I visited the Allerton in October. The location can't be beat...right on the Magnificent Mile, and only blocks away from a lot of restaurants/shopping, touristy areas. The rooms are very small though. It was a group of 4 women, and 2 were in each room with a queen bed; very cramped. I figured rooms would be like nyc, narrow tall... More

This is a great located hotel right on the Magnificent Mile, and walking distance to all the sites - Navy Pier, Millenium Park etc. The hotel rooms while small, are well appointed with large television, iPod dock etc and are nice in terms of decor. However the bathroom is a little old fashioned compared to the rest of the room... More
