I'm having a little buyer's remorse, the price is great but most of the reviews on Trip Advisor are awful - doesn't sound like it deserves a 4*.
AaronJB Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 This is a fine enough older property that saw some renovations recently. It's also in an AWESOME location right on Michigan Ave. That said, the 4* rating is definitely one of the most questionable in the city - it's more accurately a 3*/3.5* (it was 3*, I believe, before it was taken over and given some renovation a year or two ago). As for the tripadvisor reviews, there are quite a few similar hotels in Chicago.Again, not a "bad" hotel, but the 4* rating is a bit much. Still, can't beat the location.
Randall310 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Posted November 10, 2009 Good to know. What's the food situation? The reviews all say the hotel breakfast is way too expensive -- is there a Starbucks right around there?As I said, it's a great price and it's only 1 night, so even if I get a room so small I have to go outside to change my mind it's not a huge deal.Thanks!
AaronJB Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Easy recommendation: The hotel is on the corner of Huron and Michigan Ave. Walk 1 block East on Huron to the corner of St Clair and Huron. Walk 1 block South on St Clair to St Clair and Erie and there's a Corner Bakery (http://www.cornerbakerycafe.com/home.aspx) on the corner of that intersection. Great choice for a very nice breakfast/lunch/dinner. There's also apparently a Starbucks right by the Allerton, but I'm not remembering it exactly - either way, I'd recommend Corner instead.
Randall310 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Posted November 11, 2009 Sounds like I'll be well-fed and caffeinated. Thanks again.
