Great service, nice room
I stayed at Hotel Allegro Chicago this past weekend to attend a friend's son's wedding. I was among 80 guests from Boston. Prior to arriving I joined the members program, which I find helps in getting the type of room and amenities I request. I requested a room on a high floor & indeed ended up in a room w/King bed on the 18th fl (hotel has 19 fls). It was away from the elevators & vending machines as requested. The room was not overly large yet suffice for 1 person or a couple. It was clean. Bathroom somewhat small w/small sink. What made the difference in this hotel was the wonderful service from all the staff--from the doormen, to desk, to concierge, waitstaff--everyone gave a smile, accommodated my requests & took exceptionally good care of all of us--as individuals and part of this group. We were delighted. The coffee in the lobby in the am & wine hour in the afternoon are very nice touches this hotel offers to their guests. Just as we were getting on the bus to take us to the wedding venue, the skies opened up with pouring rain, thunder & lightening. The hotel was able to provide us with umbrellas so we wouldn't get soaked in our beautiful dresses & sandals. They did take our room numbers to ensure they would be returned,but hey--we were grateful since we there was no indication of a storm coming & it helped keep us dry. I think this was a great hotel & having never been to Chicago before can't wait to return to this great city & this nice hotel. Finally, they offered a late checkout at 5 pm at an additional low cost that is worth it if you are staying for most of the day.
