I stayed 4 nights for the marathon. Location was convenient to everything. Our room didn’t have a working tv or safe. They couldn’t fix the tv so credited our resort fees. Changed batteries in safe. Room was nice overall, bed was very comfy. Loved the “free” waters and didn’t mind not having daily housekeeping. The shower had a handheld and a rainfall head- the latter had pretty low pressure. Loved the extras they lined up for the marathon including a pasta dinner and recovery items. They normally have a happy hour too which would be great. I’d definitely use them again. All of the staff was super friendly and helpful.

This is not a resort. It is a timeshare. The rooms and location are great but the gym was bad. The rooftop bar was closed after 7. Although happy hour provided free drinks. No food whatsoever in the building. Won’t stay here again.

Overall a good stay. Be aware they will try to sell you a time share. Had I known that, I would have chosen another place. Regardless , the rooms were good, they offered a complimentary happy hour on the rooftop bar which was nice. Great location. Although they pushed the valet parking, there is a private garage around the corner ($60/night).

Everything was fantastic, from check in to check out! Great location, close to train stop, everything downtown was easily walkable. Room was spacious and clean, and well maintained. The only issue we had was we couldn't connect to the Wi-Fi for the TV for streaming, I text the number they gave for the front desk and someone came up in under 5 minutes and fixed it! We also never waited for the elevators, they were all in working order and constantly running! We will be back to this hotel next month!

I stayed here when it was previously a Virgin Hotels property. Very little was done during the change over. My hallway had a terrible smell, thankfully the room did not. No housekeeping unless you call daily. No lobby experience at all, it's connected to a coffee shop where you receive 1 voucher for a coffee or cookie. Staff were very nice and helpful, but it's a basic stay. I would only consider for work and probably not again. The rooftop bar closes at 7pm now and only allows guests, before it was open much later and was a selling point for having a bit of a nightlife. Anyway I'd call it a 3 star hotel and price dictates this as well. Also note the main restaurant in the lobby was being renovated which didn't help. It's a value for money stay.

The location is great and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. The free yoga classes were a nice bonus. It is clear that the hotel is going through a transition.

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean, spacious, and modern. Bed was incredibly comfortable. Water pressure in the large shower was delightfully strong, and had both rainfall and standard/handheld showerheads. The windows are thick and extra-insulated against noise; even though my room faced the train tracks, the train noise was substantially muted. Staff were helpful, friendly, and responsive. The property feels safe and secure. The hotel provides reusable metal water bottles and ultra-filtered water filling stations - a thoughtful and environmentally conscious amenity. The hotel is in a convenient location near the river walk, close to restaurants and shopping.

The location does not get better. That room was quiet despite the train running outside Hotel is located within a walk-in distance to all the major attractions . Great and convenient location.

We loved our stay at Sports Illustrated Resorts in Chicago. All of the staff were friendly and willing to assist with anything. We were able to get an early check in and could keep our bags at the hotel on our last day, which was all really helpful. The rooftop bar was a hit! Pretty awesome you can get free food and drinks included with your reservation, that sometimes you don’t even see at more mainstream hotels. Would recommend!
