The Allerton Hotel Chicago, Magnificent Mile

If not for finding this great hotel value and deciding on the destination very quickly, we probably never would have gone to Chicago to celebrate my 65th (!!) birthday. It was a wonderful trip....in large part due to the lovely hotel and fine concierge services that directed us to fun-filled and interesting activities. Keep offering 1/2 price rooms like this and we might discover more great places.

location was great and staff was spectacular. Room was extremely small; had to walk across the bed to get to the other side. TV remote only changed volume and channel but would power the tv on or off. when tv came on, volume was always very high. AC/Heat didnt work well. It would be freezing at 73 or burning up hot at 68. Hotel had character; other than space being an issue, it was a great stay. Would never want more than 2 people in a room. :)

Very Cool Hotel. Staff very attentive to my needs. Good Restaurants within walking distance

Good location, but non eventful. Too far from fun neighborhoods, very touristy

Great location on Michigan Ave and nicely decorated and clean rooms. Unfortunately there are no coffee makers in the rooms. Also, wifi is NOT FREE and costs at least $10/day depending on how much data you need. Disappointing.

First time in Chicago. Loved the Magnificent Mile area. Great energy and culture. Hotel was close to a lot of things.

If you're looking for a nice, clean, comfortable room in the Mag Mile area this is the place! The location was amazing, and the bed and pillows we're very comfortable.

The Allerton Hotel is in the center of it all. You are in walking distance to all the prime stores on the Magnificent Mile and some of the best restaurants. The hotel staff was very nice and our room was very comfortable.

Only thing I like about this hotel is location. Everything else I wish I had stayed in 2 star hotel. Bad impression as soon as we got inside - very small elevators - I would have one big elevator rather than multiple small elevators - very uncomfortable just for 4 people and imagine with luggage:(. Size of the room was not that small like other reviewer said. However, smell was terrible - thank god we had body spray with us. don't forget to take travel size room spray with you. there was a big machine green box right outside of the window - may be it was heat/air system. Constant sound like boom box was coming from that - very noisy room. We were on forth floor; may be floors above 5th floor are nice; If this hotel advertise itself as 4 star, they should shut down all rooms up to 4th floor. otherwise it is one star. I am just writing this review based on my room. I think the room bathroom also designed for handicap - water was all over the bathroom floor after shower - very bad design - if you don't take extra care, you would slip on the floor. We literally had to put towel on the floor to block water coming from the shower to floor. Now very disappointing part comes is front desk mistake charging us for the room reservation although we had already paid to orb itz. What is the purpose of going through orb itz? I never had problem like this before. I had made so many reservations from orb itz. And this is the first time I experienced worst and writing review as well :). Now post vacation headache comes - I got to call them and their phone system is worst - line was transferred to accounting and front desk back and forth for so many times; after 30 minutes someone from accounting answered the phone - phew. They called me back after 30 minutes saying they would credit the money. I will probably find out after couple of days. Don't forget to check your credit card account after vacation :)

Great experience. We will stay there again. The staff was very responsive to all of our requests
