During my week in Chicago I stayed at 3 different Hotels in different areas of Chicago. The Allegro Hotel was the only disappointment during the entire trip.
Before I made reservations, I called the hotel and asked if the rooms were large enough for 3 people to fit comfortably and the answer was yes, definately. I booked the room for 4 people and even paid a little extra - $249.00 per night thinking that I would get a larger rooms/suites. Let me tell you how small my room was - 2 double beds tight up against each wall with a 3 1/2 ' desk/nightstand in between the beds. The room also had only a 19" TV in an armoire. Very, very small bathroom, pedestal sink - with a small shelf above with hardly any room to put makeup or toiletries.
This room was described as being "art deco" and it really wasn't except for a couple lamps. It was just shabby and in need of some "life". The worst part - My room had a locked adjoining room door. This door was not sound proof at all. I constantly heard my neighbors TV or their conversations and could even heard them using the bathroom and the loud flush of their toilet. I had to leave my TV on low vaolume all night long just to drown out the noise.
Somehow my room didn't get cleaned during my 2 night stay - that was OK though since my expectations were now so low. We made our own beds and just requested towels and toiletries.
To be fair, the hotel is clean, in a fun area and has pleasant employees. It has a grand lobby, restaurant and wine/beer reception. However, I don't get too many vacations and when I do I want what I asked for and paid for. I found this hotel a big disappointment.
