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

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.

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.

I visited on a Tuesday when there are (5) cocktails and (6) food options for $10 each. They also offer half off MP Oysters. The restaurant has exterior signage on where to enter the building before going up to the fifth floor. The inside has a light and bright aesthetic and truly had some amazing views of downtown Naperville. For drinks, I got the Old Fashioned which was perfectly balanced yet spirit forward. My husband got the Spanish G&T which the rotating gin was an African gin with orange notes. The drink overall was refreshing for summer. For food, we shared the Papas Fritas which was seasoned fries with a salsa sauce and celery cream sauce. I surprisingly liked the sauces a lot and the portion was a perfect light snack for four. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my visit. The normal menu is a bit pricey but I would certainly come back for Thursday Martini night!

Vegetarians are delighted here as well Moving on to vegans such as myself... they offer a delicious and I mean SCRUMPTIOUS veggie burger that I would carry out or eat at a patio table anytime! One star off for the stink of cooking animal flesh which killed my appetite and the meaty appearance of everyone's burgers did as well. The star off is also due to their inability to provide any information at all about their French fries and the cooking oil used Vegetarians and those on diets did great with their salads and appetizers Celiacs only fair a very weak okay for the gluten-free options We came here as a large work group, and the service was EXCELLENT Atmosphere was not suitable - we would not return as a group.

It's basically a bar for college kids and they have a short menu with some food. Pages and pages of drinks and 1 page with food. I was so disappointed over my water downed cocktail.

By the way don't get the cigarette rolls as appetizer... it was a dripping with oil mess and when you bite into it ... it gets worst.
