Warwick Allerton - Chicago

8/10 Good
"The location was perfect as it was walking distance to many attractions and the river walk. The room was comfortable but a little outdated. I also found a few strands of hair when I first arrived, but everything was fairly clean. My main issue with the room was the loud AC. It was set to auto and would turn on and off throughout the night with a loud clicking noise. The staff were friendly and personable throughout my stay. For the reasonable cost and location, I would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay here in the future."
