I recently stayed at the Virgin Hotel Chicago to celebrate my husband's birthday. Overall, the hotel was fantastic, with stylish decor, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff. However, I did have one disappointment. Prior to our arrival, I reached out to the hotel staff to request a small, special touch in our room to celebrate my husband's birthday. The attendant assured me that it would be taken care of, but when we got to our room, nothing had been done. While this was a minor issue in the grand scheme of things and did not significantly affect our overall experience, it was disappointing, especially since we were excited for the special touch to mark the occasion. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the unique atmosphere the Virgin Hotel offers. I hope to return in the future and hope for a more attentive approach in fulfilling special requests.

It was walking distance to the Chicago Theater. The room was clean. Staff was nice. Everything was great except the outlets in the room. I tried several different ways/outlets to charge electronics but the connection wouldn’t work.

Not a great experience from this hotel. The good: Check-in underwhelming (especially for a Virgin brand); food carts left in the lobby opposite elevators with door to the kitchen wide open. Room on 20th floor was fine - nothing great. Bed was comfortable, room was clean The less-than-good: blanket for the bed was a very used $5 target special - nothing nice and befitting a more-than-average hotel toilet seat - cheap and nasty TV - remote would randomly turn off the tv and had to be restarted (sometimes the old tech is better than the new stuff) Luggage - no room for larger suitcases - would not fit in the built in shelf, and no luggage rack for the larger case Built in "wardrobe" - not tall enough to hand trousers An about average stay for a hotel; but Virgin need to master the basics (something the bigger chains have figured out)

Good but not excellent for the price

Overall stay was good, but when considering the price, not excellent. Service was amazing, amenities left something to be desired. Technology in room and on the Virgin app was glitchy which made our stay a little frustrating due to many features relying on the tech.
