Great Historic Hotel in Downtown Chicago
The Allerton is a nice-sized hotel - not too big or small that has lots of historic touches and fairly modern rooms. My room was quite large by Chicago standards with a separate sitting room and generously proportioned bathroom. The location is excellent - right at the corner where the Apple store is on Michigan Avenue. There are plenty of good restaurants within walking distance. The staff was very polite. I cannot comment about value as I stayed on business at a vendor's corporate rate. If the rack rate is anything like the corporate rate, The Allerton would be deemed an excellant bargain. Only downside was a large, dead cockroach in the bathroom. At least it was not alive. Despite the roach, I highly recommend this hotel.
