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.
