Everything was great! Happy hour was fantastic and the bartender (male whom had a place in brandywine)was one of the best hosts I’ve ever had at any hotel period!!! Can’t remember his name but he deserves a serious pay increase!! You can figure out who he is by my description of his place and my family really enjoyed your place and the breakfast was awesome too especially the made to order omelette!!If you’re in the area and need a place to lodge please try this location out and you won’t be sorry!!👍👍👍👍🍾🍾

GREAT property! Stayed there with the family We had several rooms and the Embassy is ALWAYS the best! I have stayed at ES in multiple states and we ALWAYS come to this one when we come to the Chi! Can get somewhat loud and busy with kid sleepovers and sports teams but hey, that is to be expected! Please restore the two hour Manager’s Reception and please do not run out to breakfast food! We had seven kiddos with us! Keep up the great work Embassy!

We recently stayed at Hotel Indigo for our wedding weekend, hosting a room block with assistance from Lauren She was INCREDIBLE and was with us every step of the way Anything I needed help with, she was quick to respond and provide

I grew up in Naperville and lived there for 20+ years, and never had the chance to stay at Hotel Indigo Our stay was fantastic, and our wedding party and guests loved it Hotel Indigo gave us “vacation” vibes, even though I was down the street from where I grew up The hotel is SO nice, Plank Bar & Kitchen was great for our Friday night cocktail event, and Sydni at the bar was awesome The front desk staff was super nice and accommodating as well Highly recommend Hotel Indigo for a stay in town, or a wedding or large event!

Barb Montagano

Our family and friends had a phenomenal weekend stay, for our son’s wedding, thanks to the team at Hotel Indigo Naperville We are extremely grateful to Sydni, Mike, Ashley and Maddie for taking care of every detail We thank them for their guidance in planning, efficiency, professionalism and kindness throughout

Check in was a breeze and all welcome boxes were handed out The lobby and guest rooms are immaculate and beautiful I highly recommend Hotel Indigo Naperville!!

Eric Binder

Beautiful hotel right in the heart of downtown Naperville We stayed in a suite on our wedding night Spacious room, easy access to parking garage, large walk-in shower, twin sinks, and incredible views from the numerous large windows

Easy check-in/out TV was a bit small and awkwardly placed, but we didn’t really use it much so it was fine Overall, a stellar experience

Stephen Cullen

I had an excellent experience with Joshua I checked in late at night in the early hours of the morning due to travel He was able to help me quickly workaround an issue with the 3rd party online reservation company I used, and put me in a beautiful room

The room was gorgeous He also recommended a nearby restaurant that delivered late, after I had been at the airport all day Both the service and the rooms are A+ The hotel is also nestled in a beautiful surrounding community It’s a First Class and White Glove experience at the Drake

OUR CAR WAS VANDALIZED! I was a guest at the Hyatt Regency in Lisle, Illinois June 9-12 I was in town for my stepdaughter’s wedding, down the road at the Morton Arboretum We had an adjoining room for the night of June 10 for the bride

While we were there, many things were less than desirable, but the worst occurred on my final night there On Saturday night, June 11, I parked my other daughters’ car in the Hyatt parking lot I parked it in the well lit lot, close to the building, and thought it was a very safe spot The next morning, the catalytic converter had been stolen and the front hood was damaged When I reported it to hotel staff, they said they had no liability and could not help me I was shocked at their complete disregard and lack of concern, they also did not seem a bit surprised I would have hoped for some empathy, contact information for the police, somethingI guess that I should not have been too surprised though as the whole time I was there, the staff seemed unconcerned Even though the adjoining room was vacant on June 9, (we asked because we thought about getting it early), it was not cleaned and available until 4:30 pm June 10 We told them it was for a bridal party, with an early morning wedding the next day, but that did not seem to matterWe also witnessed other guests arriving after 4 and still not having their room ready They were offered drinks at the bar, but many needed their rooms Then we witnessed damage to the number board in one elevator, causing some floors to be inaccessible The other worst thing we saw was when some guests got stuck in the other elevator and were ringing the bell for some time They got out, but then that elevator was shut down for a dayAll in all, I will never stay there again, and fear to stay at any Hyatt

Naqia Najafi

At first glance this hotel looks like it will be a great stay The lobby is grand, clean and spacious However, the rooms do not match this vibe & does not look like the photos advertised

They are outdated and dirty The beds are tiny in size We stayed in a 2 double bed room, but the beds were closer in size to singles The washroom curtain had stains, and water pooled up to your ankles when taking a shower Our TV did not work & wifi also did not work for our first day of our stay We travelled with a large group and several members of our party experienced worse issues Earwigs in the bathtub, ants in the room, an electrical spark & flame from the outlet, blood like stains on sheets upon arriving in hotel There was also no daily cleaning/room service offered until the third night of your stay, which would have been nice to know prior to booking The only reason I’ve given this hotel 2 stars is because the staff is very kind and helpful But overall, if you’re expectations are a clean hotel room, I would not recommend this place

Mistic Mods

Room was great but asked for regular coffee 2 times and got decaf both times Last time we asked they never even came to the room Also we were supposed to get wedding venue rates and asked multiple times and was told fully booked but groom said they were not

Called sales dept and told the same thing I wouldn’t recommend for the price service should’ve been better

This hotel truly is a hidden gem! We have been coming here for years with family and friends There is so much to offer—indoor/outdoor pool, golf, 2 restaurants, game room and more The hotel is just gorgeous, as well, and the staff is amazing! From the time you check-in, you feel welcomed

I have to give a huge shout out to our absolute favorite staff member, Willie, at the pool/golf bar He is amazing—hardworking, personable, efficient, and just an overall fantastic person! Such an asset to the hotel We already can’t wait to come back!

Justin Flora

My wife and I were here for a 1 night 2 day work conference We really enjoyed our stay Everyone was friendly and the hotel has so many amenities (large outdoor and indoor pools, nice selection of restaurants)

The conference food, snacks, drinks were great with a lot to choose from Our room was extremely clean and the beds were super comfy Thank you for a great experience Hilton team!

Karissa Plautz

Beautiful views of the golf course and skyline Clean room and bathroom Comfortable king size bed

Modern 2 restaurants and bar Friendly and helpful front desk staff Booked 2 rooms 3months ahead of time and happy to be on the same floor a few rooms away from each other Only downfall is we did ask for room service but they did not refresh towels or clean bathroom like asked

Lee Conner

Great customer service from everyone The rooms are dated and need some more ways to charge the many devices most people have these days The AC is very quite which is awesome

Also the desktop is NOT in front of the AC system so you won’t freeze while you are working My understanding is that the refresh of the lobby is due soon but no mention of refreshing the roomsAsk for Ms Sheila she is awesome

Taylor Holloway

We had a block of rooms booked for our wedding here and the event manager Shannon truly went above and beyond to help my out of town guests get rooms booked and on the block, and helped with family who had more of a extended stay She alleviated so much stress from me the week of the wedding and would always get back to me in a timely manner If you are needing a block for out of town guest I highly recommend reaching out to Shannon

Thank you again!

Jodi Morse

The room was clean and the bed was comfy On the downside our shower drained very veryyy very slow, there is no mini fridge in the room and there is not a plug in on both sides of the bed Just one plug on one side

The ice machine on our floor (3rd floor) was also broken For what we paid to stay here we expected a bit more The front desk staff was friendly and the lobby/bar area was clean and nice

Looks can be deceiving…the outside is a little drab but inside is beautiful! The check in staff are amazing! Dee was so delightful and helpful! The beds are comfy, room is cozy and clean The shower feels great! The pool was great! Warm in the room, could have used a hot tub Everything exceeded our expectations

Glen Prairie Restaurant is wonderful!

Val “Valerie Mai” Khadivian

This was the best stay I’ve had in years Staff was absolutely amazing, the pool was stunning and even had a deep end Felt like I was in Florida without having to be in Florida

Not a fan of the restaurant attached to them but that had absolutely no impact on the hotel The restaurant will never have my business As for the staff of the hotel, kudos!!!!! Thank you for a very memorable little holiday Definitely doing this again with other moms

C CJG

I would truly be remiss if I did not leave a review about the stay my family and I had here Initially we were only supposed to stay two nights, this was only a little getaway for my husband, our two little boys and myself However, the staff was so amazing and accommodating to us, that we ended up staying five days!!! From the manager, to two of the front desk staff Karen and Lydia, they made our stay extremely welcoming and amazing for our boys

From accommodating our two year old who has autism, because he loves looking out of windows, to ensuring that we had everything that we needed We learned during our stay that our recently diagnosed 2yr old loves swimming just as much as his older brother With everything that we’ve experienced these past few months, swimming was the thing that he truly has enjoyed the most, which is why we extended our stay The hotel staff were beyond accommodating and helpful during our entire stay and I can truly say that we’re looking forward to returning for a visit

Excellent hotel, comfortable beds, really awesome lap pool and gym, and hot tub Little deep for small kids but we brought a life jacket and our daughter loved it I was able to swim for hours alone during the day

It was so relaxing Great restaurant down in the lobby Great breakfast in the executive lounge Super friendly staff Definitely recommend staying here

Emily Stranski

Love this place We first visited in December for a pool night during Christmas break We just went back again last week because the kids kept begging to go back

The pool and hot tub are great! Huge pool, much larger than most hotels It is 4 feet deep throughout, so good for my kids who can swim wellHot tub adjacent to pool but tucked away so nice for me to relax while still able to keep an eye out Over Christmas, there were maybe 2-3 other couples/ families using pool while we did This last time we came during a snowstorm, so we literally had pool to ourselves in both the evening and next morningRooms were well appointed, recently renovated, and clean Exactly what I was expecting Front desk is very friendly and helpful as wellI’m a bonvoy member and enjoyed the late checkout offered with my status in order to enjoy the pool longer before we leftThis hotel is right next to Target, the Yorktown mall, movie theater, restaurants Plenty of options and amenities for a business or family type traveler Highly recommend!

I stayed at this hotel for the weekend and it was great The room was spacious with two queen sized beds The lobby looked very nice with fast elevator times as there were 5 elevators

The hotel also has quite a few services such as an indoor gym, pool, and Starbucks I would definitely stay here again as it’s located near many stores and restaurants

+bathroom+spacious room-Stephanie-room service-pool area-parkingThis by far was my worst Hilton stay! I called in advance to see if I could check in at 2pm The lady on the phone asked me my last name, confirmed my reservation and told me coming at 2pm would be perfectly fine Well I get there and Stephanie who did not come off very customer friendly at all quickly shut me down and told me I could not check in early

I explained I called for this very reason before driving 40minutes She told me I’d have to wait about 30-40min and there were people ahead of me That was the first thing I understood she was doing her job but she comes off very rude with how she speaks and her facial expressions Once we were finally checked in Stephanie then gave me & my mom the same room number on our keys so I had to go back downstairs to get this fixed The rooms were very spacious but so outdated, the carpet and furniture was hideous but I liked the space and the bathroom was my favorite We stayed 3 nights but room service never showed up until we called On day two my husband saw room service and asked if they could come get our trash and dirty towels and she told him if we wanted our room cleaned we had to call the front desk I’m not sure if this is new but even when you stay for a couple of nights they at least come to your room to offer new towels and pick up any full trash When we finally got new towels my towel was so thin and hard it hurt, literally it was nothing like the first set of towels But, my biggest complaint is the pool Our swimsuits had a awful smell after getting into the pool/hot tub I have never had an odor as such after being in a pool Next thing I know we are all sick by the time check out comes The only person that was not sick is my mom and she is the only one who didn’t step foot in the pool or hot tub To top it off when I checked in I was handed a card to put in my car but was never told I was being charged daily for parking I have never paid for parking when staying at the Hilton This was my first time at this particular Hilton and will be my lastIt was my most expensive stay but yet my least favorite I will say the gentleman that worked the night shift I didn’t get his name but he was very friendly to myself and my daughter

Carl Kroboth (CPK3RD)

Is it terrible? No Is it excellent? NoBut hello 1990, I hear you want your hotel back

Updates are definitely needed, as the rooms look the exact same as when I traveled a lot in the late 90’s and early 2000sAs for the cleanliness of the room it was a 3 out of 5 One stained bath towel, and the old furniture just doesn’t make the room inviting The shower leaked through the door soaking the bath matNot to mention $20 for a $10(value) breakfast Only because the closest place to get breakfast is 10min awayJudging by the other recent reviews it looks like Hilton has some work to do to bring this hotel back to the 5 star status it once was

Robyn Christopher

Booked a King Suite, stayed 3 nights The location was perfect! Close to highway into Chicago, near shopping and plenty of dining optionsThere must have been a few mix ups with our booking, initially they were showing as 2 nights not 3 but that was straightened out at check in

We didn’t have a king bed in the king suite, it was a queen The mattress was very hardThis hotel has an elegant banquet hall next to it and uses it for events like weddings There were 3 during our stay This wouldn’t be an issue, except once the event ends the guests staying at the hotel tend to continue the party in the center of the hotel The center is a gathering / seating area and the noise traveled very well up to the 6th floor and thru my door at 2 & 3 in the morningFront desk staff is relatively non-existent and isn’t very friendly or helpful Breakfast is OUTRAGEOUS $12 for their “continental” is some fruit, a few bread choices and cereal And for $20 you can have breakfast like sausage and eggs from a warmer

OK it’s not the worlds worst Marriott but it’s darn close AC doesn’t function well, you can’t see out the windows because they’re so fogged up inside the glass There is a sign leading to an ice machine on my floor and it was just an empty alcove

But what really bothered me was the television Not the television itself was bad but the service was abysmal Not like your standard Marriott Just scrolling guide with only about 30 channels, most of them just worthless No guide, you had to just remember what channel you liked wait for the scrolling and then go to it No possibility of logging in with on demand All Marriotts have had this as standard issue for the past five years or so, this is just silly and frustrating Posting this review now, but going up the chain of command to make sure the president and CEO of Marriott are aware of these inconsistencies The hotel looks nice from the outside but once you get inside you realize that really it’s just a one and a half star motel at best

Irfan Waseem

Horrible experience The hotel is extremely dull and run down and location is not great either On top of that, the front desk Staff named Dana was extremely rude

We were visiting from NJ where the indoor mask mandate had been lifted I totally understand the different mask mandate in illinois however, the staff needs to be courteous in reminding people for wearing masks She screamed at us saying “wear your mask NOW” We reported the hotel to the Marriott customer service and checked out right awayThis hotel is not worth my money or my points I visit Chicago every month and this hotel is totally off my list I would recommend the hotel management to properly train their staff and manager in customer service

Heidi Pinkham

NEVER will stay here again, nor would I recommend Hotel run down and employees rude The breakfast was a joke

I ordered French toast The preparer toasted the bread in a toaster, sprinkled confectionary sugar on it and served with syrup The drink I ordered expired 2 months ago My sister ordered a “Starbucks” coffee and it tasted like water When she tried to get another cup, the manager was rude to her and gave her another cup of watered down coffee Seriously, this is a Marriott???

I stayed a total of 19 days on a business trip Overall the hotel stay was good could have been better but the room was extremely dusty Room needs a good dusting because it was so build up and I order housekeeping twice my whole trip but nothing was done about the dust

Build up dust on my clothes and items Needs better cleaning or change filters However, the staff was friendly and happy I didn’t get a chance to order room service but the cookies are amazing!!! If you get a chance to stay here, don’t forget your free cookies😃

Deb L.

The bad: There is a half an inch gap at the bottom of my front door(see picture) The hotel is by no means full and they put us next to the elevators so that I can see and hear everyone and everything walking by The water in the shower/tub does not fully turn off and leaks/drips

We arrived late and didn’t notice they didn’t have a Do No Disturb sign so housekeeping barged into the room in the morning When I went to ask the front desk, they initially said it was our responsibility to make sure that we put a do no disturb sign if we didn’t want housekeeping They are not serving breakfast of any kind There weren’t any extra blankets or sheets in the room There isn’t a way to modify the temperature of the roomThe good: location is good and accessible Beds are comfortable Water pressure is high in the shower Plenty of parking

Leo

Location is convenient Not impressed with room cleanliness as there was trash in room from occupant before me Coworkers from my company stay here often but this may be the last time I stay

Many issues with loud occupants and smoking inside rooms The restaurant has great service and really enjoy the fact the Starbucks is inside From someone who stays in Hilton properties every week, there are better options around

Overall decent experience staying at this hotel The parking isn’t a great situation thoughFor other diamond members who are use to other Hilton properties providing multiple bottles of water during longer duration stays, this location 100% will not

Only 2 per room per stay I understand that’s always been the policy, just all other Hilton’s I’ve stayed at provide extra throughout stayFor late check out, you cannot request at check in or during stay- you have to call day of check out to see if they will accommodate it This makes it difficult to plan your last dayBreakfast was good, lots of optionsRoom was good, bed comfortable

I have stayed in hotels/inns in very rural towns in the US and abroad and this stay was the worst that I have ever experienced My family and I thought we were going away for a quick, impromptu long weekend before my husband starts his new job What we experienced at this hotel was disappointment after disappointment

First, we were told that we could not check-in until 4 pm That is fine, and expected as that is the stated time However, others were checking in as we waited in the lobby until 4 pm I visited the front desk twice, and each time was met with horrible attitude and abhorrent customer service When we finally checked in the gentleman that helped us gave me a breakfast card for only the adults, which I had to correct No big deal, no one is perfect Then we entered the elevator and were greeted by the screech of grinding parts, which was unnerving Later that day, we noticed that that elevator had been taken out of service In the room the cleanliness left much to be desired The shower grout was filthy There were stains on the bedding, and the dust was visible The hotel was full so requesting a new room was to no avail On the way back from dinner parking was impossible in the front so we parked in the back The doors for us to enter were supposed to be accessible by room key only These doors were not secured so anyone could enter the premises The next morning two of the three elevators were out of service This meant that we could not actually get down to breakfast Taking the stairs leads you outside, and in this case into the rain My family waited at the elevator for 20 minutes or more and could never get on Families trying to carry luggage down faced worse experiences At this point we decided to check out and go to breakfast elsewhere, at our expense, although we had breakfast included at the hotel We tried again to get on the elevator, again to no avail This time we had to carry our luggage down four flights and across the parking lot (no luggage carts on stairs) I called the front desk to request that the additional $30 that I was charged be removed from the bill, as of yet this has not happened although the manager indicated that it would be taken off She also stated that the breakfast would be extended due to the elevator issue This also did not happen My family and I will never return

Overall, the hotel was great The employees were all very friendly and the complimentary receptions in the morning and evening were great For the price of the room, I did expect that the furniture (footstool specifically) wouldn’t have looked like it went a couple rounds with a cougar and the toilet paper holder wouldn’t be close to falling off the wall but the service and food as well as location made up for it

We celebrated our anniversary yesterday and stayed here We were surprised by the hotel with champagne and chocolate strawberries in our room,nice touch 😉 It was a lovely experience overall

Though we could imagine how beautiful the scenery is in the summerwe will definitely be back! The property is huge, pool is big enough to swim laps, there’s a hot tub too Gym is also very big There’s a cute restaurant that over looks the lakewe didn’t get to try it because we arrived after 3pm and it’s only open for breakfast and lunch but you can still get dinner later in the bar/lounge Clean, beautiful,relaxing property and staff was very nice as well

One of the most romantic hotels I’ve ever stayed at Rooms were clean, and a big plus is that they have windows that actually open and you can get some fresh air in the room The front desk was professional and attentive

The design of the building and the location give you that unique lodge feel, like you’re somewhere in the mountains of Austria Great stay, and will stay here whenever I’m in the area They are dog friendly and the prices are more than fair $25 daily pet fee and 60lbs weight limit

Love love love the location The scenery was beautiful The rooms could have been cleaned

There was dust every where My niece room had a spider web in the corner of the room with a spider So that room hadn’t been cleaned in awhile The bathroom sink had mold or something around the faucet So i did cleaning myself Because staff said the rooms don’t get cleaned until the 3rd day

Me and my husband stayed here back in February and it was amazing This was our first time away from our kids since the pandemic started and we enjoyed every moment The staff was really nice, the hotel in general was very clean

We stayed in two different rooms and loved them both, I really enjoyed the tub and shower and was able to relax The restaurant/bar was great and the drinks were the best I can’t wait to visit again and do some more sight seeing in the area

Well appointed hotel with several conveniently located restaurants & shopping Staff at desk were very friendly and accommodating They offered to check me in early, which was great

I also highly recommend their spa The massage therapist Agnes was incredible, honestly one of the best massages I’ve had All in all, great hotel for our business meetings and would absolutely stay here again Thanks for making our stay a pleasurable experience

I was so excited to try this hotel for a few months now I stayed here one night and everything was just fine Everything was cleaned really no issues just nothing to tell other people about

The price is kinda high as well, I think the price is the main reason I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, doesn’t offer a good bang for your buck (In my opinion)
