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.

Not worth it

I did not like that the bathroom and shower is in the middle of the hallway instead of building a normal bathroom where everything belongs and specially for someone who wants privacy in the bathroom. The tv remote didn’t work as well
