If you don't mind stepping on your luggage and clothes every time you turn around, then by all means, Hotel Allegro is fine.

This is one of our favorite hotels. It’s got such great personality. The lobby is warm and inviting with lots of funky spaces to relax. As far as rooms go, we love the one bedroom jacuzzi suite complete with leopard and zebra robes and two flat screen TV’s. . The service is so friendly and the wine hour is a nice touch. We booked a special that included two drinks and an appetizer per night in the lounge. Delicious! We love the location – walking distance to the theater and to great shopping on State Street. Some of our favorite restaurants nearby include Siam Rice, De Cero taco bar, and the Walnut Room in Macy’s. We can’t wait to return!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Hotel Allegro in October 2008. We visit Chicago four times a year (my favorite city). We always stay downtown because of shopping, restaurants, and site-seeing.

We booked a weekend where there was a large convention along with a concert in Chicago. We had difficulty booking a hotel during this weekend. We knew that we wanted to stay in the Loop and our preference was to stay at Hotel Monaco or the other Kimpton hotel due to the proximity of State Street shopping and the Chicago theatre.

We were fortunate to get the Hotel Allegro on one of the discount sites and booked immediately.

First Impressions - Due to web surfing, we learned that we should park in the hotel parking lot across from the hotel. We did this. $20 a day is PERFECT. Ha! More on this later!

We love boutique hotels and we were not surprised at the beauty of Hotel Allegro. It really is a beautiful hotel. I love the colors and the dark woods of the decor.

Check in was fast and efficient. The front desk attendant was fun. He gave a few hints and pointers about night life and such.

The room...Wow. It was tiny. It took us five minutes to figure out where the bathroom was. We thought the door to the bathroom was a closet door. The bathroom was so tiny that my boyfriend joked that if he could wash his hands in the sink while taking a shower. OK. He said something else, but you get the picture.

The room was clean and the television was nice. The linens were clean and the bedding didn't look rancid. It was a nice room for the weekend. I have never stayed in such a small room.

We did go to the evening happy hour/wine tasting. It was fun to mingle with the other guests.

All in all, we would stay here again. It was relatively inexpensive. The location was pretty good. The surroundings were ok.

This hotel was so beautiful, very boutique-y!!! Our room was the cheapest room available, I believe they even called it a "small king room". It was small alright, but very nicely decorated. The staff was wonderful, and if you book online you get complimentary continental breakfast. We will defiantly be staying here the next time we are in Chicago.
