"Badly in need of room renovation"

"Small Room"
Room is tiny and not comfortable. Bathroom sink is tiny and narrow.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton Hotel So sorry to hear that room was just too smal for you! We do have some larger ones and hope you'll come back to check them out. We are working on changing out the small sinks in the rooms, hopefully that's happening sooner rather than later. Iris Junge Rooms Director
"Not one of the better Kimpton hotels but not a dud"
My main criticism is the size of the room and its decor. I'm not sure when the rooms were last decorated but the room looked like it had either been decorated a LONG time ago or was rushed when it was done if done so recently. It suited my needs perfectly for the weekend I stayed but I think I would be curious to stay at one of their other Chicago locations […] next time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Don't stay here if you want to sleep"
Stayed on the 11th floor. There are only 3 elevators and the wait time for the elevator is atrocious. From the Ground floor to the Lobby you might as well just walk the stairs. The hotel is nearby the L, and you'll get the hear the train every few minutes or so passing by, even after midnight. It seemed popular with folks with dogs and the young & […] "hip" crowd, I don't know if they like it because of the wine reception or because they don't need to sleep at all. The bed wasn't great: soft enough but the springs were creaking (I'm medium build & average weight), and any movement aside from turning in bed while you sleep will generate noise that's distracting if you use your hotel bed for reasons other than sleep. Bathroom is roomy - wish they could have utilized some of that space for the room itself. I liked the USB charging ports in the room on the night stand. $51/day for valet parking - unless you want to walk across the street in the elements (was 10F when I stayed), and paying 1/3 more for parking was ludicrous, but not uncommon in Chicago. The Sheraton and Hyatt both offers connected self-parking structures. Overall I would not stay at this hotel again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton Hotel Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I am disappointed to hear that it was just a bit too noisy for you and that the bed in your room was not as comfy as you hoped for. We do hope that you will give us a second chance some time.

"Not up to its usual..."
The toilet ran all night; refurbished bathrooms are very small. They've removed the coffee makers now that Starbucks is available without needing to go out to the sidewalk. Where is the TV/Cable printed menu?Kleenex in the room?Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Chicago Loop Location"
Good value at $100 / night. I would not expect to pay much more for the room we stayed in.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel but small rooms and tiny bathrooms."
Front desk very helpful .... be aware NO food service other than room service on Sunday nights. Would stay again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Smallest bathroom in a hotel rated at that level. The HVAC system was screwed up. It was subzero outside we were in a room with an outside wall and everytime we turned the heat past 72 degrees the AC came on. Not good. Cheap cable service; not one premium movie channel every other high end hotel has those standard. We had to pay a significant fee to […] watch a movie. Great restaurant attached to hotel.

"Great location - room tiny"
The hotel itself was fine with a very nice wine/beer reception during happy hour. Our room was very clean and neat but tiny. We had to choose who was going to be going around the bed or in the bathroom as there was not enough room for two.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton Hotel Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you had an enjoyable stay and I am sorry that you ended up in one of our smaller room. Be sure to request and upgrade next time!
"Close to the Chicago theater district"
This was the smallest hotel room and bathroom that I have ever seen! The bed was supposedly a queen but I would say that it was more like a double bed. The room may have been okay in a pinch for one person but for two people it was decidedly cramped. I guess the old adage 'you get what you pay for' applies here. Our experience with booking 40% off rooms […] through Expedia up till now has been excellent but we will not be booking a 40% off room in the Chicago theater district again - rather we will stick to the hotels that we already know and pay the extra tariff. On the plus side, the staff at the Allegro were very professional and friendly. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton Hotel Thanks so much for sharing your feedback. We are very proud of the team in place and wish that there was an easy fix to make all of our rooms a bit larger. We do hope to see you again sometime!
"An otherwise nice hotel"
The room itself was very nice and comfortable, and the location was great. The issues I had were: I could hear the people in the next room through the adjoining door as if they were in my room; being on the 5th floor in my corner of the building, you can clearly hear the 'L'; and there was an issue w/ my mini bar, which I explained to them a couple […] times, but they never fully took care of it. Other than that, the staff was nice, and they let me check in early. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Allegro"
Efficient service, comfortable room, but price would indicate a more deluxe accommodation. The room was good, but not worth the price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton Hotel Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry that you did not find us to be a good value for price paid. We do hope that you will be back for another visit as we have room rate special during certain times of the year.
"Close to theatres"
The hotel stops serving food including room service at 11pm. We were starving when we got back to the hotel and could not get anything to eat. We had to go back out in the rain. The rooms are very small, but nicely decorated and clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton Hotel Thanks for sharing your feedback and I am sorry to hear that we did not have any dining options available for you at that late hour. Hopefully you did not have to venture out too far in the rain!
"Close to family events"
Was pretty good but room was tiny as was bathroom.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton Hotel Thanks so much for your review. So sorry about the small room. Hopefully you'll be back again for another family event and we can get you into one of our larger room.
"Great location,service but stuffy room."
We have stayed here before, and loved it. This time was a little different. The room felt "wet" like the carpet had just been cleaned and very stuffy. AC intermittently kept making the room too cold, so my husband had to wake up in the middle of the night to adjust it. The rooms were very clean and well kept otherwise. Parking is a rip off! You are […] better off parking in the nearby self park. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not What I Expected from Kimpton"
I expected something more "special" from Kimpton. Some of the details in the room were worn or tired or just not executed very well. I had a wire glass window and no view. The room was very small and tight. The front sidewalk door of the hotel looks like a mess -- too much junk and no real sense of arrival. I would probably not rush back to this ho […] tel.

Response by Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton Hotel Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. It pains us to hear the not so good stuff but we are constantly working on improving the hotel and experience and your honesty certainly helps us. We do hope to see you again some time!
the overall experience was good, the happy hour was fun the location is great. No refrigerator in the room was a problem as was no dresser. The sink was so little that you got totally wet when washing your face.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton Hotel We are glad that you had a good experience while staying with us. On your next visit, we would be happy to place a mini fridge in your room. See you again soon!
"Room was "Alice in Wonderland" small!"
I wanted to love this hotel, but I can't skip the fact that the room was tiny, tiny, tiny! This should never have been sold as a room for two. I hold Expedia to be equally as responsible as the hotel for this. My husband is 6'3", and let's just say we didn't walk around the room too much. I'm sure they have some nice rooms, and I believe this room would […] be acceptable as a single, but never, ever should have been sold to us as a room for two. Beware!

Response by Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton Hotel So sorry to hear that the room was a bit too small for a comfortable experience. We hope that you will give us another try since not all of our rooms are the same size.

"ok for a weekend"
Parking is expensive .. $51/night. Warm room thermostats set ion 66 but felt like 76. Its a really old hotel with a facelift but they left out some details. Walls really thin, tiny bathroom and the complimentary wine hour was nice but the time slot is hard to reach.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Overpriced"
For the price, I was not impressed. I found the quality of the rooms to be disappointing and the service certainly didn't seem up to the standards of a 4 star hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Ok but small and loud."
Supposedly rated a 4 star hotel but the quality of the room i thought didn't reflect that. The walls were extremely thin - could hear people talking next door amongst other things. The room was incredibly small - the queen size bed took up the vast majority of it. For a large person the bathroom would be almost unusable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good, but....."
Had to wait to check in past the normal time. When we got to our suite, it was missing a table. How does this happen when it was just cleaned?!? The sofa and chair wery very uncomfortable. I also had to ask for the mini fridge key, it wasn't unlocked and they did not give it to me when I checked in. Great location though....and the staff was very courteous. […] They even recommended a great bar just around the corner. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"So-so"
Room was small but we didn't need a whole bunch of empty unused space.Bathroom is tiny but it's not cramped and uncomfortable.We did have an issue with some dogs barking down the hall from us,but my boyfriend called the front desk and they had security on the floor within a few minutes and the issue was resolved promptly,which I appreciate. We ordered […] room service food,our dinner arrived within about a half hour of ordering and was delicious.Server was very courteous.However,the following morning our breakfast was brought to us without a few of the essentials (cream,toast) that were supposed to come with our meals.The latest server was not even apologetic when we had to call the desk for our missing items which we had to wait for and let our food get cold.Other than that,I rather enjoyed my stay there.

Response by Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton Hotel I would like to apologize for the barking dog down the hall. I am so glad to hear it was handled in a very timely manner. I am also sorry for the lack of detail given to your breakfast order through room service. I have shared your comments with our In Room Dining Manager and we certainly will use them to help improve our service.
"Small Bathroom"
The bathroom was very small. You walk in and turn around that is the extent of the room -- very small. The decor was great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"too small"
The hotel is OK overall but it is way too small. One thing I immediately noticed was that they only have one chair. And bathroom is too small too.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Allegro Chicago"
There are much better choices than this one downtown.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"It's a hotel"
The hotel worked. It was quiet enough for me to sleep through the night. And the bed was comfy. Some oddities were: some sticky stuff on the side of the bed that I kept stepping in, teeny closet, and I called valet for 10 minutes at 6am with no answer. Come to find out he was hanging out at the front desk having a conversation. However, it was in close […] proximity of where I needed to be and they have a wine reception in the evening.

"Good location, but room are small and old"
We loved the location of the hotel, but rooms were too small and the decoration is old (i.e. wall paper !!!) Not a four star quality, I think three star is more suitable for this hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"chicken wire in the windows???"
This room was on a low floor in the back of the hotel 15 feet away from a brick wall - nice view! If that isn't dreary enough, the glass in the windows had chicken wire to keep out unsavory thieves and freaks... The bathroom is tiny. There was no place to put the room service tray each morning, so I had to eat on the floor. The water pressure in the […] shower was literally a trickle. In all I thought the hotel was unattractive, not at all what I expect from Kimpton property Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very small rooms."
The room my wife and I had was about the size of a closet. It was very small. There was only room in the bathroom for one person.Genuine Expedia guest review
"NIce Enough Hotel, CRAMPED Rooms"
I stayed at the Allegro during the July 4th holiday while visiting friends in Chicago and checking out the city's big A Taste of Chicago event. I booked a room with king size bed but I was taken aback how small the room and the bathroom were. Of course this wasn't a suite but still I found it difficult for two people navigate the room comfortably. The […] bathroom was tiny and it's entrance had two door that opened out in to the already narrow pathway from the door to the room's door to the room. We had the bad luck of staying in a room where the bathtub had a leak so as we showered and prepared to check out on the last day we looked down to see the bathroom was a pool of water. The complimentary wine-tasting was OK. Well not really because the wine and sangria sucked but the local beer was good. The staff was nice and very helpful. There, I said something positive.

"The Hotel in Chicago, Il"
The location is great - BUT - to pay $50 a day for parking is RIDICULOUS! I think I could excuse this, but the size of the room, ESPECIALLY the bathroom was also PATHETIC. The personnel was great, but it does not make up for the size of the bathroom and closet. There was also no room to store your clothes. We had to leave them in the suitcase.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Small is not better."
This was the smallest room I have ever stayed in. Two people could not fit into the bathroom at the same time.There was no dresser to put clothes into.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
