The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

Tiny but near everything

Great location downtown near all the theaters. Rooms are VERY tiny (European style) but interesting. Stay Here once a year or so.

Not recommended

I stayed there one night and then checked out and went to another hotel. The public areas of the hotel are quite nice, and the hotel is very conveniently located, but my room itself was very, very tiny and claustrophobic, and the bathroom was even tinier. Everything was "old and ugly" in the room. I'm a professional man and 61 years of age, and chose the hotel because I could walk to the Merchandise Mart from there. However, I would not stay there again, and with the good subway system, you can really stay most anywhere and hop on the subway to get where you want to go. Definitely overpriced and I would not recommend it.

Upscale Convenience

Have stayed here a couple of times; very comfortable and attractive rooms, though the bathrooms are a little small. Very convenient to the downtown theaters - it's in one. Also close to "El" and subway stations in north Loop. Just re-opened following major renovation.
