Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Room was set up oddly walking into what was ultimately the bathroom. Fridge was too small to store desserts from the onsite restaurant. Club bumping from arrival til early hours of the morning was disturbing trying to sleep. That said, overall it was nice and would consider staying again albiet, quite pricey from room to dining and parking.

Convenient location, nice staff, and good pillows. Rooms have weird setup, the shower is open to the room, which is bad if sharing a room with others.

Great hotel, Great location
Had never stayed at a Virgin property. Liked everything. Our room was nicely laid out, and the hotel is in a great part of town, perfect for doing those things in Chicago visitors want to do. Next time in Chicago, we stay at Virgin.
