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.

Loud counstruction going on right outside of the hotel and also locted in a not so safe area. Being that this is a pet friendly hotel, you won't be able to comfortably walk you dog after sunset. No seating in lobby to sit around. Pros includes filtered water in the lobby, and pets stay free. Also was able to accomodate 1pm complimentary late checkout.

Loved the property. Suggested that Cerise not reserve all the tables ... we went up two evenings at 5:00 p.m. before going out for the night and the couch areas were all set with reserve signs... we understand if there are reservations but they sat empty the whole time we stood there... for an hour or so. Otherwise, we thought Virgin was wonderful and an amazing location!

Nice Hotel, “Resort Fee” is ridiculous.

The hotel is cute, the room is fine. Finding out upon check-in that I would be charged a $35 “resort fee” for things like wi-fi and use of the amenities was not fine. When I book through Hotels.com and it lets me know that my total includes taxes and fees it’s absurd that I would be charged ANOTHER fee on the property for things that should absolutely be included in the price of the room. I won’t be staying here again because of it.
