We stayed at the Allerton for one night after purchasing a Groupon. The room was small but clean. The rate is affordable for Michigan Avenue, but be prepared to pay for anything over the bare minimum. The rooms are small but clean, and have a tv but no mini fridge. The only parking option at the hotel is apparently valet parking, which was $60 for a single night! On top of that, the driver hung around over my shoulder waiting for a tip while I loaded my own bags into the car. The last time I checked, tips were an additional bonus, not a standard part of the fee, especially when the rates are already ridiculous.
