We stayed here for a one night stop over before catching a flight to NYC the following day. The hotel was fantastic, the room was big, with a separate lounge area, great bathroom with big shower and two big televisions. Eventhough we had spent the previous 36 hours on a train, the bed was sooooo comfy! The only thing wrong with the room was that either i couldn't find a safe or there wasn't one. If i was staying there longer than one night i would want a safe in my room. Location was spot on, we walked everywhere the evening we visited. The service at the front desk, not so good. We went to enquire about a shuttle to the airport for the next morning on our way out to dinner, the lady gave us the phone number, explained very badly what we needed to do in order to arrange it and then instead of offering the phone to us or calling for us, we were made to take the trip back up to the 9th floor to make the call! I wasn't particularly impressed with that, especially as the hotel itself wasn't a cheap one to stay in.

It is a decent Hotel offering great location & great value for money. It offers very fast wifi, which is great help for persons on business trip.

The rooms are small & the food in the cafeteria is poor

The room was super tiny. It had two beds and they were so close together it might as well have been one bed. The carpet was shabby, with rips it it and was very dirty looking. We had to wait over an hour past check-in time to get our room and then I believe we would have sat in the lobby even longer if we hadn't complained. It was like they just forgot we were waiting. The lobby and common areas are absolutely georgeous but the room we had was like it was another building. The bellman makes himself very scarce and might ignore you for a while when he is there. Would definitely not stay there again.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Allerton for a few nights during the Easter weekend. To sum up our stay:

Good - location, price (got a great package deal from Orbitz), and cleanliness.

Bad - room size is small but sufficient (mind you, we apparently got upgraded to a Queen bed but I am not convinced since my double bed at home is the same size as their queen size) and no coffee maker in our room so we went to the lobby and asked where we can get coffee and they directed us to the lobby bar where they charged us about $5 for a cup...now that's a bit ridiculous considering Starbucks was located across the street.

Would I return again? Yes - only if I can get the same deal. I'll just have to remember not to ask for coffee the next time around! = )
