Not for families

The Allerton is an old hotel in a good location, but this is NOT a 4 star hotel. The rooms are very tiny. The walls are paper thin. The bed was uncomfortable. The bathroom had a weird musky smell. And the elevator situation is crazy! This hotel does not provide quality accomodations or outstanding service. I was very disappointed, and we would not choose this hotel again.

Uncompromising

My flight was cancelled and I wasn't able to stay at the hotel the night I booked for. The hotel would not work with [...]to switch my rooms to another night. The hotel made $400 and I didn't even stay there. Will not try to stay at this hotel again.

Friendly Staff & Convenient Location

The Hotel Staff are very friendly, efficient and helpful. Although when I stayed there, they were undergoing some renovations. The room was neat & clean. The smoke odor was just in the hallway. My only complain was I could hear some motor running thru their vents and had a hard time sleeping.

Service must have been on vacation

The staff either needs to have a new lesson on customer service or the hoetl must have been having a training of new staff when I was there. The staff was not even friendly. When i checked out, the women was actually talking on the phone to someone else and didn't even thank me for staying there. Hotel needs to understand what customer service is. Elevators were slow. My room had a tv on the side of the room and not in front of the bed. The bar was small and when I went down for a drink, I asked if I could sit at a table in the closed dinning room since there was no place to stay. the bartender said no and then moved on to another customer.

Eh

The lobby of the hotel was very modern and nice so I thought the rooms would be the same. I was wrong. The rooms were outdated and unimpressive. The staff was the same. I would not stay here again.

Great Location

The standard rooms at the hotel are very small. Great location and if you can get a good deal on the room its worth it. Watch out for the $45 dollars a day parking rates. A little outrageous if you ask me.

Below Expectations

When I checked in I asked for a room on the quiet Huron side of the building. I was told the hotel was pretty empty and that would not be a problem. I went to my room and found it to be a bit warn (even the fluorescent light in the bathroom was flicking) and looked out the window to see Michigan Ave below. The room stunk of cigarette smoke even though it was a non-smoking floor. There was only one bath towel, one hand towel and one wash cloth in the bathroom. I opened the mini-fridge to find the last occupants open beer and dip. Oh, and the in-room internet connection was not complementary -luckly I could pick-up the Omni's network accross the street! Room service is breakfast only.
