Terrible room. Can’t sleep with the thumping from the 26th at night to the crashing noises from the gym at 5am. Very rude lobby with people pushing and shoving to get to the 26th floor party.

My initial experience was TERRIBLE. However, the manager, Frankie called my the next morning both apologizing for my experience, and extended the upgrade that I was due. She went above and beyond and also provided an additional meal and adult beverage. This lady truly deserves a raise. She really should be applauded for this!

Only one chair to sit on or the bed. There was coffee in the room but NO coffee maker. A well stocked fridge and snack tray. But no room in the fridge for anything you might want to put in. Room came with one robe. Had to ask for a second. Lobby had no seats to wait.

Pleasant stay

My husband and I spent 4 nights at the Virgin hotel during our Chicago trip. We loved the way the room was decorated, the night view(Willis tower )from the room, and we appreciated daily room cleaning by the cleaning crew. We hope we can make another trip to Chicago sometime soon and stay there again.
