This was our second time staying here. They redecorated the rooms since our previous stay...which we liked overall. The rooms were also very clean. However, the rooms are so small that it makes it very awkward for 2 adults to stay in. We also felt some basics were missing, such as a coffee maker in the room. We were told we could get coffee in the lobby, but when we did we were billed $6 for a small cup and a banana. The coffee also tasted about as good as what you would get at a gas station vending machine. The staff were somewhat friendly, but you never really felt welcomed. Also they stuck us with a room directly in front of the elevator, not off of, directly in front! This is a big problem since, unlike most hotels, the walls here at paper thin and you here everything. Perhaps the strangest annoyance was the constant noise from the pipes in the walls. You would here then shaking and water flowing through. Also we kept thinking we heard bass from an unknown source of music, but we concluded that was coming from the pipes too! We had to turn our fan on high just to drown it out! This could be a very good hotel if some of these details were addressed, since the location is great (a few blocks from millenium park).

My husband and I stayed here for one night April 23, 2009. It was for my birthday. We had play tickets to see Mary Poppins. (hence the review title!) I LOVED this hotel! It is so DIFFERENT! VERY clean and neat. The lobby has amazing furniture and our room was WONDERFUL! I KNOW the rooms are small but we had a VERY comfy king bed and a big flat screen tv. The bathroom was so funny! The sink was so small you had to really aim when you were brushing your teeth! But the fixtures were fun! All silver and modern. The wallpaper was circles and it was just FUN! I would DEFINETLY stay here again. Besides it is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the Cadillac Theatre. So after it was over we walked 20 steps to our hotel! We got a $149 rate with tax!

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.
