Allegro Chicago, a Kimpton Hotel, Chicago

This hotel is rather stupid to be frank. It's a horrible attempt to be retro-sheek but ends up looking similar to that Saturday Night live skit where things are so sheek that they are not functional. The rooms are about the size of a shoe box and there isn't much in them. I actually like the Pedestal in the bathroom but there is no sink. I had to put my make-up on using the toliet for 5-days. It also took me 10-minutes to figure out how to turn on the shower and the bathroom is more like a closet then anything. I had guests over one evening and everyone could hear everyone pee b/c the bathroom doors aren't doors at all and there is no bathroom fan! It was just over the top for me and lots of costruction nearby to keep you up at night. On a good note, the staff are really friendly and the place is really clean. That's about the only good thing I can say about this place. I would not go back.

The "commission" I was charged by Yahoo Travel was outrageous. I could have booked at a SIGNIFICANTLY lower cost booking direct. I'll never use Yahoo Travel again.

Our stay at Hotel Allegro-Chicago was very nice. The hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming. Hotel Allegro has the best complimentary items: wine, yoga basket, fitness rooms, and Aveda products. Not to mention that Hotel Allegro is located in Chicago's Theatre District, Grant Park is within walking distance and the Chicago Transit system (CTA) is conveinently across the street. It's the perfect location. This is a great and very fun hotel. I would definitely stay at Hotel Allegro again!!!

we were upgraded at no extra cost, the room was extremely cozy and clean, with a spa tub, they provide aveda bath products, animal print robes, the room had beautiful decor.

Downtown Chicago is full of over-priced hotels with bad service and poor room quality. The Kimpton Allegro is a nice change of pace to all of that. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My check-in was fast and both the bell and desk staffs were very courteous. The rooms are on the small sode, which is normal in Chicago. However, the bed was very, very comfortable. The room had a big-screen tv, and good internet access. Overall, the room was much better than most other hotels, including some of the bigger and more famous named hotels in Chicago. The bathroom also was a bit small, but very nicely done. They provide Aveda shampoo, conditioner, soaps and skin lotion -- which was nice. The room had a well-stocked minibar, with drinks, snaks and other potential necessities. The hotel's Encore bar was nice. My only complaint is that the bar staff is not very prompt at tracking food and snack orders, but other than that, the service is generally good, prices are better than what I expected, and it's nice. There is a wine and snack reception in the lobby every day from 5 p.m. - 6 p.m., and it is lovely. It's a nice way to get together with people you're with, or to meet others. I had business associates staying in several hotels downtown this week, and they all paid a lot more for lower quality. Given the experiences of co-workers at other hotels, and my own experiences with other hotels in downtown Chicago, I'm happy to recommend the Kimpton Allegro and I do plan to stay there again.

The location for shopping and eating is the greatest. The price was great for what you received and the location included. The beds were so comfortable that you didn't want to get out even to go SHOPPING...Having the bar attached was nice, we didn't have to venture out in the "big" city. Everything was close.

This is in the heart of the Theatre district in Chicago. I had my 1st wedding anniversary there 5 years ago. Plenty to see & do around there. The room was excellent.

The Allegro Hotel is a unique art deco style hotel with character. Located in the theatre district, it's close to the heart of the city. The rooms are small but cozy and well maintained. I stayed there during a convention and the group rates were quite reasonable. Both the food and service were wonderful.

I loved the location, theater district, the room and room service. Many people brought their dogs, very well behaved and last of all each evening is a manager's reception. I would return again and again.

It was a really cool hotel. It had an awesome atmosphere and a large area just to enjoy yourself. It was beautiful and the view was awesome!
