• Great location for what we wanted to do in Chicago.
• No bureau for clothes; hair dryer so hidden I didn't know there was one.

“Great Chicago loop location; very small rooms, trendy dcor.”

• Good location.
• Tiny room, 1 chair, no table, no view, construction debris, bad quality TV, surly staff, no wine bar.

“This hotel has no wine bar, coffee is limited to 1 cup per person in the morning which is handed out by surly staff, it is under construction with debris in the hallways. The room was tiny and the bathroom was even smaller. The bathroom would only allow 1 person to be in it as the floor space for standing was literally 2 ft by 2 feet. It was much too cramped to be comfortable in the room. There was only 1 uncomfortable chair for a 2 person room. The LCD TV was very poor quality, every channel was grainy, channel selection was very limited. Coffee in the morning was free only for 2 or 3 hours in the morning but guests had to go to the lobby, show a room card, and then were told they could only have 1 12 ounce cup for each guest. When my wife went down to get coffee the second morning we were there, the surly counter attendant accused her to her face of coming earlier that day already, she had not! The parking pass system was cumbersome and inconvenient. The only good thing about the hotel was that the location was excellent, in the Theater District. All in all, I will never ever stay at this hotel again, nor at any of the other hotels in this chain. I honestly would rate it at 1-star. The fault, however, of the poor quality despite the high star rating appears to be the hotel's.”

• Location.
• Room amenities, no outlets in room.

“Hotel had a great location by the Chicago theater, which was the reason we went. The room was small in size, but it was a Greater Chicago room, so that was somewhat expected. There were no power outlets in the room? I had a laptop, my phone, my blackberry, and my wife's phone and we only had 2 outlets to charge them in and they were located in the bathroom.”

• I loved the decorations. It is a great hotel.
• No ice machines. Had to get ice from room service.

“The hotel was very nice and the staff was excellent. The only real issue was ice. It looks like with the renovations are complete that will not be an issue. Location is great, close to public transportation and within walking distance of many attractions.”

• European style (read: smaller) and very well decorated.
• Bed was not all that comfortable.

“A nice place to stay if you are in town for a play as it resides in the theatre district of Chicago. Service was very good and we had no problems.”

• The location and decor were awesome.
• The mattresses were too soft and the room was small.

“The Hotel Allegro was under constructions so the Business Center and Fitness Center were closed, which was disappointing. Also, the beds were too soft and it made for very uncomfortable sleeping. On the bright side, location was great, decor was great and the staff were very friendly.”

• Beautiful lobby/public lounge.
• No available outlets in room except in bathroom.

“I could not plug in my laptop - every outlet was behind heavy unmovable furniture. The only outlet I could find was over the bathroom sink. The hallways looked like they were still under construction. I had a do not disturb sign out and yet my phone kept ringing to find out when I would like to have my room made up. TV would go out every 2 minutes with a message saying "Please recycle IRC" so you had to click the remote again to get it to continue working. There were no water glasses in the room to use to get a drink of water.”

• Free wine hour in the lobby between 5-6pm featuring Kimpton Hotel owner's wines.

“Very good. Location is excellent right on Theatre Row in the Loop. Each room was equipped with an I-Pod cradle, which was a pleasant surprise for those of us who choose not to leave out I-Pods in our car during valet. Overall, Allegro was an amazing value, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chicago for Baseball, Theatre, or business.”

• Staff was very friendly. Lots of perks. Great Location.
• Parking expensive, but so is parking in Chicago in general.

“Staff was super friendly-front desk, room service, breakfast, happy hour. Just excellent. The breakfast and happy hour was a nice touch and the location was great. Clean, suites were comfortable.”

• Old style.
• Still under re-construction.

“Lovely old-style hotel. Still under re-construction so be prepared for some construction noise (concrete drilling at 7:30AM!), and lack of (for example) gym facilities.”

• Very posh lobby and furnishings.
• The room was incredible small.

“Lots of hype for a room the size of a dorm. The cost translated to more than $10 per square foot of space, mostly occupied by furniture.”

• I loved the funky "feel" of the place!
• I didn't like the fact that the decor was starting to look worn.

“I was in Chicago for business and was being put up in another of Kempton's hotels, the hotel Burnham, also in downtown Chicago. The hotel was clean, I liked the interior design and decoration, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The only negative I noticed was the slightly aged look the carpets and decor in our room had, but the hotel apparently is planning renovation this year. Even compared to the Burnham (which is very plush and posh), the allegro held its own, and my friend and I were pleasantly surprised that we weren't disappointed with our experience when we switched hotels. The allegro is right in the theater district and within walking distance of so many of Chicago's wonderful sights. I'd stay at allegro again in a heartbeat!”
