The hotel had an old time Chicago flare. The snack bar was stocked well. The checking and out was fast and easy. Staff were friendly and professional.

Great location, in the heart of Chicago. Staff prompt courteous and helpful. Very nice room, not big but quite comfortable for a family of 3, with a unique and neat design. No negatives, great Value ! Don’t want to try another Hotel next time I come to Chicago.

Not disappointed in Sir Richard Branson's hotel effort! Branson has applied the same model to his hotel(s) that has made Virgin Air such a pleasure to fly. He has thought of everything from a customer standpoint to make your stay easy, posh and pleasant. The Chicago location is well done - not a half-hearted renovation, but a full-on restoration with nothing but the best of every little detail. Staff was incredibly polished, helpful and attentive - there's a reason why Chance the Rapper does business with this venue! Great location (1 block from State Street in one direction and 1 block from Michigan Ave in the other) with lots of shopping, food, everything nearby. Highly recommend a stay here next time you're in Chicago.

Fun and trendy, but still relaxed vibe. Pleasant staff. Very clean and well appointed. Spacious rooms for a metropolitan address. Conveniently located. Would definitely return.

This property has been renovated extremely well. It is very clean and has an amazing front desk staff. Everyone was friendly and gracious. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom/dressing area spacious. Plus, I loved the décor!
