This hotel was near perfect and I could see why it's Michelin rated…read more I don't usually stay in boutique hotels but when looking at the nearby major chains, they didn't look appealing. The room was clean and had a rustic modern feel. When the carpet is beige, you know they have to take care of it consistently. Everything had a plush feel. The shower had a rainfall showerhead and a handheld. There's a scent that emanates throughout the hotel and into your room. It's light and adds to the ambiance. It's also in the sheets and linen too. I guess that adds to one of the negatives I list later in that the HVAC seems to be centrally controlled. There was some very minor debris in the sink that may have been left from wiping of a dirty rag, but that was mostly it. Gym was nice and parking was plentiful and free. What I didn't like: - Mini fridge in the room had a lot of snacks and other drinks that I assume were for sale. I usually pack my own food, so those items took up some space in the fridge - I get cold easily, so I try to adjust the thermostat, but it's centrally controlled, which I've never seen... I'm assuming all of the rooms are regulated in this way... - Breakfast bar- had bare minimal which I really don't mind. I really wouldn't expect a place like this to serve you breakfast unless it was full service. Would definitely come back

Great hotel in downtown Beloit. It's been redone in a "speak easy" motif. Rooms are spacious and…read moreinclude a phonograph with a selection of vinyl LPs (that's 33 rpm records, for you youngsters). Room has a huge shower with a rainforest head. Also has a mini bar in the room. Only negative point is there was no refrigerator or microwave. Great restaurant located just off the lobby for a fine dining experience. Does not have full breakfast but does have grab and go muffins, fruit, coffee, etc. They also have a rooftop bar where one can sit inside or outside. Full bar with good bartenders. Menu is limited but still plenty to choose from. We had an order of mussels and a charcuterie tray. Both were very good. Our bartender was Colton and he took good care of us.

So 3.5 stars overall. Was here for Sunday brunch with a larger group. Arrived at 10am at open…read more Seated, the view is actually very good. Brunch cocktails were good. Ordered the avocado toast and the food itself tasted very good but arrived lukewarm warm. Some of the diners I was with described their meals as cold which was unfortunate. The server was good but could have been more attentive. Overall I would recommended but be prepared. A smaller party might have a better experience. Give them a try. Again good overall and I would return.

The Hotel is really cool, historic and lots of character. They do have a decent happy hour. Our…read morecompany trip stayed there 4 days so we ate here everyday for convenience. 1) ribeye steak, not good at all, zero seasoning or flavor. 2) burger, about the worst I've ever had, tasted terrible. 3) wings : ordered dry and had sauces separate, these were "ok" (sometimes tasted kinda 'fresh') but the sauces were good. 4) chicken fettuccini alfredo was actually decent, order that 5) a coworker ordered a pizza and said frozen pizzas were better. Had breakfast every morning, complimentary so I should judge too harshly, but not really that good. Very subpar products being bought. For such a nice hotel the food is severely lacking. Management should revisit this.

We had 1 PM reservations for brunch on Sunday. We wanted to eat prior to the Gutfeld show at BMO…read more Arrived at the hostess stand and looked around. There were several tables with no water or anything. We were seated after a few minutes. We waited for 15 minutes no water, no waitstaff. Several tables around us were the same. Didn't really seem like we were going to be able to make the 3PM show at this rate. Finally left after 20 minutes. To be fair the hostess did say the kitchen was backed up. All and all it appeared they were understaffed for the patrons they had. We met some people at the elevator that had been outside dining and they said the food was good, however it was slow to come out for them also. I guess they have a rooftop deck for dining outside. The place is really kind of neat and I would have liked to eaten there. It seems like it may have been an old factory or something converted to hotel and dining. I was intrigued by the short rib eggs Benedict. May stop by again when we're in the area, hope things improve. Seems like it could use some better management. We did speak to the staff at the front desk in the main lobby on the way out and they were totally indifferent, no sorry about your bad experience, more of an oh well attitude.

Let me start by saying this is the best dining experience in 2026 for me so far. Our attendant,…read moreMaria, was fantastic. She was very attentive and recommended some really good dishes. The venue was very nice at the top of a hotel with a very nice view of Naperville and the Riverwalk. Let's start with my favorite dishes. The mahi mahi ceviche, braised beef, and octopus dish was fantastic. The braised beef was cooked perfectly, ceviche was popping with flavor and the octopus was very fresh. We did get the skirt steak and branzino. The skirt steak was a little bit overcooked to my liking. The Branzino was perfectly cooked and crispy but the portion was small.. But the best thing was that dessert. We had some type of pudding cake that was soaked in eggnog with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it. It was fantastic. Best dessert in a long time. Definitely will be hitting this place up again

Had dinner at Santa Cielo in Naperville and honestly it blew us away…read more We ordered the empanadas, shrimp tacos, hanger steak, pork shank, and a few cocktails and every single thing that came to the table was incredible. Not one miss. The empanadas were perfectly crisp and packed with flavor, the shrimp tacos were fresh and balanced, the hanger steak was cooked exactly right, and the pork shank was fall-apart tender and easily one of the best dishes we've had in a long time. The cocktails were just as good as the food, which says a lot. You can tell there's real attention to detail across the whole menu. On top of that, the space itself is beautiful. Really unique interior, great atmosphere, and an awesome view right over the river that makes the whole experience feel even more special. It's rare to go somewhere where the food, drinks, and atmosphere all hit this level. Santa Cielo absolutely delivered. One of the best dining experiences we've had in the suburbs and we'll definitely be back.

We then left the hotel for dinner and on our return to our room we found a ladder set up in front of our room's door. Upon further inspection we found that our room was flooded with over three inches of water from a broken pipe. The maintenance crew helped us get our possessions together. We were told to go to the front desk for room reassignment. Upon arriving at The desk we found out that the flooding affected a total of ten rooms and that they had no other rooms nor could they find anything in the area. Front desk staff did try to help while always maintaining a friendly and helpful demeanor during a difficult time. They earned all available stars.

I ordered the "Jane," which is a pretty standard burger with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. It was good overall and cooked well, but it wasn't anything especially memorable or the best burger I've had. One thing that surprised me was how limited the menu was considering how large the restaurant is. I expected a bit more variety. Overall, Empire is worth visiting for the atmosphere and rooftop experience, but the food itself was solid rather than outstanding.

We enjoyed our visit but I don't think I'd stay there again just due to the ick factor of the room.
