Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I loved the location of the property, and the overall concept of something fun and funky, but I had a "higher end" room, and it was right near the elevator, so I got a lot of noise on that side, plus the El from the other side. The rug wasn't super clean (although the bedding and the rest of the room were a delight). The most annoying thing was the TV. Anything I turned it to, 10 minutes later to the minute, it went back to the Virgin channel #1, here are all our hotels in the world. I really hated having to stay on top of a show, when usually I want the tv on as background while I'm getting ready, etc. Also, this hotel's amenities were oversold, i.e., good luck getting on the rooftop, especially if you just wanted a quiet sip of a drink. I loved the cafe and the staff, though, everyone was very pleasant.

Great food and great beds!

The stay was very nice, and we loved the rooms, coffee shop, robes, and rooftop bar! However, I did notice a few things were missing. For a nice hotel that is pet-friendly, I was surprised there wasn't a dog bowl, a fun amenity, or treats. There also wasn't complimentary water, which is odd for a $470 room. The little touches were lacking. I would stay again due to the room and location. Thanks!

I love Virgin air and expected a 5-star experience. Hotel checkin was not all that welcoming, but efficientl. They had no valet service and basically told us we were on our own. Thought ok I need a drink so went to the rooftop bar. An afterthought at this hotel. Cushions were dirty and faded. Barely staffed. More like a rooftop bar in costs rica than downtown Chicago. Room was nice and stylish. The highlight of the stay tbh as was the coffee shop.

Love the Virgin brand. However, Loading and unloading was terribly managed and spaces in front of hotel were taken by valet of Vip vehicles. Also, there were so many no guests that were attending a roof top club that elecators were all full. Didnt seem very sade nor well managed.

Previously stayed at Virgin property and loved it. Was really excited for our stay at Chicago property and could not have been more disappointed. Booked 3 night stay and left day early to stay at another hotel because it was so awful. When checking in we found out the rooftop bar was hosting an event that was open to the public and had a line down the block waiting to get in. Once checked in, AC is on room would not go lower than 71 (same after we had maintenance “fix it”). Service at the rooftop bar and main restaurant were both subpar (the cocktails at bar were the worst we’ve ever had). Important to mention the bar is open to the general public and is packed so hotel guests likely won’t find seating. The worst part of the stay was the music from the bar. We were 8 floors below it and the music sounded like it was in the room next door…until 2am!!! If I could rate the property zero stars I would. It’s worth mentioning we randomly met a hotel employee outside the property the first night in town and they told us we would be disappointed in the property…that says a lot.
