For the price I paid I was disappointed. Bums with their pants down at the entrance of the building - front desk laughed and said “that’s city life”. At the entrance of my room were ceiling tiles; all yellow and dirty, you could see the insulation seeping through. Shower floor was not cleaned or they need to just regrout. The location is next to the train so sleeping was not ideal.

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.
