User Reviews of Hotel Allegro

Yelp.com Review - by Bill B.

4.0 of 5 stars. Well, I have spent now 3 weeks at this hotel for work. The bed is pretty comfy, the TV is big, the channels are OK, the rooms are really small! The staff is quite helpful - ask for extra pillows!…

4.0 of 5 stars. Check into the Allegro for a change from your typical big-name hotel. It isn't a bad spot for a romantic getaway, and since it's possible to hear your neighbors (and vice-versa) hilarity can ensue…

3.0 of 5 stars. Trying SO desperately hard to be hip and upscale, but there's only so much you can do with a shoebox, I say. On a sidenote, I once crafted a Star Wars figure village fashioned out of shoeboxes.
