The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful staff. Very helpful and courteous. Excellent location - close to theater shows, Riverwalk and shopping downtown and lake shore. Felt very safe walking at night and the security on site. The waitstaff and food were excellent - arrived one night at 9:45 pm and within five minutes had a delicious meal! Would definitely stay there again! Bed was super comfy!!!"
