Super convenient to restaurants and shopping. Loved having the balcony and seeing the sunset from the roof. The lighting in the rooms needed help and there was no streaming options available. Other than that it was fine.

I’ve stayed here many many times over the years, have booked multiple rooms for family members during graduation week etc and it’s always been great. However my most recent stay was marred by two really awful guests on my floor with a dog that barked all night and very loud music played from 8am. I was surprised that dogs are welcomed in hotel rooms but apparently they are. Despite ringing the front desk three times during the night and again in the morning and bringing it up during check out, the hotel only apologised and didn’t bother to extend any goodwill gesture. That was particularly disappointing. So while The Allen has been a great place to stay over the last 5 years, I won’t be staying again.

Very disappointed. Poorly managed a bad situation.

We have staid at this property before. This time things went very wrong. We awoke to find that we had no hot water in the shower. They could not fix it and pushed us out at 11AM. Never offered access to another shower. Just apologized and sad the manager would be in touch about a refund. Of course they didn't and I had to call them. Then they only refunded $50. This room was over $300 - which is a lot for a place to not help us get to a hot shower and call us to kick us out at 11AM. I will not return. I'm sure a better managed property could have given us access to another room and I think their refund amount is insulting.

Simple but met our needs for 4 nights

This is definitely a no-frills hotel, but I don't regret staying there. It is in a convenient location, close to subway, SOHO, and lots of cafes. The decor is dated but the hotel is clean. Regarding daily room cleaning, the bathroom was cleaned daily and the towels were replaced, but our beds were never remade. We booked a Deluxe Room with 2 double beds, because we were going to be 3 people in the room. Be warned, they are not double beds - they are slightly larger than twin beds, and are too small for 2 people. Regarding sustainability - we were not provided the option to reuse our towels, and there was no recycling bin in the room. We wanted to watch Netflix on the tv. We called the front desk and she said "I don't know, because I don't watch tv". We never found Netflix.
