The property was so amazing and clean. We got the grand suite and it was perfect. The suite is really nice and lots of space to place your belongings and get ready! It is beside the train so always make sure you’re placed on a higher floor to avoid the noise

Just Ok hotel

The hotel is in a great location, but it feels quite worn and in need of updates. In the evenings, the atmosphere can get rowdy due to the bar crowd, which detracted from the overall experience. Given the price point, we were expecting a more refined and upscale environment.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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.
