Reviews for Sports Illustrated Resorts Chicago
No maid service during your stay. You are warned
This hotel, unfortunately is a scam. They will not service your room for stays under 10 days which is outrageous. This information is not disclosed when booking nor to travel agents know it. This is no longer a forest. Our hotel amenities include coffee at a coffee shop and a standard hotel gym. This is not a resort. I would not recommend staying here.

Great location, fun rooftop.
We had 2 free nights from Wyndham Rewards and picked this hotel. The Sports Illustrated Resort is under new management and currently making improvements. The room we checked into was nice and clean. Beds were comfortable and had a neat rain type shower. It had 2 sinks and a vanity for my daughter to get ready in the morning. The highlight of our stay was the free drinks and games at the rooftop bar from 3pm-7pm. We enjoyed playing shuffleboard, pool, and air hockey all while relaxing and looking at the city on the rooftop. My only wish was that the rooftop bar was open later! It would be cool to see the city at night from up there. Overall, it was a nice comfortable stay in a good location.

great staff. great location. but few amenities. they do not offer housekeeping. and rooftop is permanently closed.
- great location and fantastic staff but overall terrible product. - no housekeeping service at all. At first they said it was an extra fee, and when I said "sure how much" they needed to call back after checking - not possible at all. He promised to send someoen to collect trash and drop off towels but in 3 days no trash was collected. I had to call a second time to get the towels delivered. - my wife called the week before to confirm the rooftop would be open, but when I checked the day we arrived, it was closed. - i should have stayed at a marriott.

Virgin Met My Expectations
Virgin Hotels Chicago did not disappoint! The location is excellent—just one block from the train, which made getting from the airport very easy. From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch. Our valet, Mr. DeAndre greeted us, stored our luggage while we explored, and later personally escorted us to our room. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, professional, and welcoming. The rooms are a bit small but very clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet. The rooftop bar has a great vibe, and the food throughout the hotel was very enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again. Tip: A $20 bus pass gives unlimited rides for a week—cheaper and more convenient than Uber.

Great front desk
Had a 10/10 experience. The front desk was so damn good. They gave us all the tips and spots to enjoy Chicago. Shoutout Owen and Alana!
