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!

Do not book this hotel if you want to sleep at all. 1:30am and the thumping loud music from the club 3 floors above us is vibrating the entire room. We called down and there are no rooms to move us to so we are literally stuck here, awake until the club closes. What a waste of money. The hotel is also very dark with no real lobby. Sketchy street. Stay anywhere else and it will be an upgrade.

The hotel is exceptional but make sure you’re in by 10:00 pm. The area around the hotel entrance becomes very uncomfortable after dark. They really should have security out front.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
For the price I paid I was disappointed. Bums with their pants down at the entrance of the building - front desk laughed and said “that’s city life”. At the entrance of my room were ceiling tiles; all yellow and dirty, you could see the insulation seeping through. Shower floor was not cleaned or they need to just regrout. The location is next to the train so sleeping was not ideal.

No hot water in the shower for the entirety of our 3 night stay, it was barely warm. Complained multiple times, other guests were also facing the same problem. The responses ranged from "engineers are working on it" to "leave the water running for longer" to finally "that is the hottest water you're going to get". That was unbelievable given that the sink had hotter water than the shower. Upon my insistence, they offered to move us to a different room the next day after 3pm - that meant we would have had to take cold showers for 2 days. In the end we just didn't take up the moving-rooms hassle in the middle of our trip.

Property is old and worn down. They gave us a handicap room. That was sparse and uncomfortable . We checked out after one night. I expect a refund for one night from Expedia. Please let me know how to reply for the refund for a terrible experience
