Loud counstruction going on right outside of the hotel and also locted in a not so safe area. Being that this is a pet friendly hotel, you won't be able to comfortably walk you dog after sunset. No seating in lobby to sit around. Pros includes filtered water in the lobby, and pets stay free. Also was able to accomodate 1pm complimentary late checkout.

Loved the property. Suggested that Cerise not reserve all the tables ... we went up two evenings at 5:00 p.m. before going out for the night and the couch areas were all set with reserve signs... we understand if there are reservations but they sat empty the whole time we stood there... for an hour or so. Otherwise, we thought Virgin was wonderful and an amazing location!

Nice Hotel, “Resort Fee” is ridiculous.

The hotel is cute, the room is fine. Finding out upon check-in that I would be charged a $35 “resort fee” for things like wi-fi and use of the amenities was not fine. When I book through Hotels.com and it lets me know that my total includes taxes and fees it’s absurd that I would be charged ANOTHER fee on the property for things that should absolutely be included in the price of the room. I won’t be staying here again because of it.

This is one of my favorite hotels in Chicago and it's the first one I check when I am heading to the city. My suite was comfortable and I enjoyed my stay. One tiny complaint is that the in-room coffee seems to have been downgraded. There used to be a fresh pour over option in every room, but on this stay my room strangely had one of those small tea bag style coffee packets you usually see at far less expensive hotels and it didn't work with the room's pour over basket.

Do not book this hotel if you want to sleep at all. 1:30am and the thumping loud music from the club 3 floors above us is vibrating the entire room. We called down and there are no rooms to move us to so we are literally stuck here, awake until the club closes. What a waste of money. The hotel is also very dark with no real lobby. Sketchy street. Stay anywhere else and it will be an upgrade.
