On a mission to find a local coffee shop for our weekend treat. Today, we came here…read more I called ahead to confirm the brand of oat milk they use and was excited to hear they use Oatly barista (yay gluten free!). When we arrived I ordered a caramel mach, not realizing they don't have that on their menu. When I asked what latte flavors they have and what was popular, they said cookie and blueberry. The only other flavors on their displayed menu (behind the counter) were brown sugar and salted honey. They were unable to confirm if the cookie flavor was gluten free, which was a surprise, because they offer a decent selection of gluten free treats that are separately wrapped. We were planning to get a GF food items, but then felt uncomfortable after they couldn't confirm a syrup. My husband got the blueberry latte and I ended up with a brown sugar latte. The coffee was smooth, but the brown sugar was similar to any other brown sugar syrup. I was disappointed that online, the menu shows additional syrups that were not mentioned to me. I did love the atmosphere of the location; comfy chairs, not too loud, and clean. Because of how relaxed the location is, we will be back to try additional flavors in the future, 3.5 for now.

We needed a temporary office for 1 month and checked out several options. We decided to use Regus…read moreafter meeting with a nice rep and looking at the office space. When we signed the agreement, we told them we only needed the space for one month and they said they'd charge us for two but we would get a refund after the month was up. A few weeks into our renting the space, we received a contract that was to last until the end of the year. We let them know, again, that we only needed space for one month. We received written confirmation letting us know the contract was terminated. The one month is up and not only did we not get the promised refund for the additional month, they charged us for 3 more months! I would not recommend using Regus after our experience and we will be looking at other options should we need temporary office space in the future.

Nice location and very helpful staff but the billing experience here is a disaster. First, they…read morerequire a large downpayment and say you will get it returned in 3 months after leaving. Secondly, they billed me for another month after I had given my notice (and they accepted it- btw, 60 day notice) and getting the money back was a huge hassle. Finally, they slap on a $122 "exit fee" upon termination. Like I said, it's a nice facility and the on-site people are great but the organization itself needs improvement.

I was told I needed approval for my chairs. I e-mailed and texted 2 of them several times. Never got an answer. Finally moved it in when they weren't looking, nobody ever noticed. We hosted a free educational event there. The board rooms were part of my membership. We were compliant with all the rules, we had the exact number of guests allowed, brought all our own equipment, and left it cleaner than we found it. The owner called me aside and said I had an "unauthorized event". I have a confirmation for a reservation. He had one ridiculous thing after another. After I successfully defended myself against each one of his outrages and false accusations, largely from a misinterpreted security video he had been studying, he said we looked through the cabinets. He accused me of touching his wine bottles. What we did was grab some ice (out of a very dirty ice box). He said he "felt robbed," called the cops and cancelled our memberships. I wish I could add the timelapse of the rager I threw! But since I can't picture this...a doctor giving a free informational seminar to patients. He told the cop he was entitled to a $500. For the reservation I made in advance, gave the receptionist all the details of what we would be doing, and is included in my membership.

You can tell Kim cares about her job and patrons. She was constantly checking in with us, was super friendly, and very thorough in communicating how are package and options would work. You can tell she cared about her Team too as they respected her lead with everything and were all having fun while working. BIG KUDOS to KIM & Team for their world class top notch service with smiles. The food and drink package was definitely worth the price too. Such a great value with the 2.5 hrs of bowling. We had friends in town from Milwaukee as well and they all were impressed with the food, service, and fun that was had yesterday evening. Every employee was fast & friendly with their service. And the food was tasty and delicious as well. Thank you Bowlero Waukegan Team for making our event a fun memorable one!

If you are looking for a venue for your event, STOP RIGHT NOW - YOUR SEARCH IS OVER! In September…read more2017, Loft21 hosted our wedding reception and it was absolutely incredible! The newly-renovated space incorporates every detail you could imagine into your event. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you're in a million dollar party. They can change the lighting to fit your theme, the audio/video system is out of this world, and the range of options through HYPE productions (incl. photo booth, dj/mc, music etc.) completely ices the cake for a perfect evening. It's hard to start describing how Loft21 is such a perfect venue, so let's start with the people. JuneElise, Loft21's event manager, is EXTREMELY helpful in guiding you along the way to a seamless event...she will answer any question you have, and deliver professional results quickly and efficiently...we did not sense this level of customer support at any other venue we shopped. Her attitude is great and you won't be disappointed. Secondly, the HYPE staff is incredibly entertaining, and our dance floor did not stop until the lights went on...they hit every corner of the music we requested and the MC, Adam, kept the party moving like a Mac truck... it was awesome, and we still get complements to this day. Jazmine, the owner, was quite involved with our planning as well, as she owns both HYPE and Loft21...so if you use both, you enjoy a discount and she was very clear on how the combined package saved us tons of cash. I could go on...so why don't I? The atmosphere is so unique and stimulating... the bars are uber-modern with an industrial feel, the staff is incredibly well trained and friendly, the globo with your event logo shines on the wall, the preferred caterer they recommended was perfect (Marcellos!), the audio video incorporation is super cool, and we wished the night never ended!! I'd say, with all the competition we shopped for our wedding, Loft21 provided the most competitive pricing for a 350 person event that we could find - they offered everything we wanted (and more), and you will be doing yourself a favor by calling them today before their calendar fills up. If you talk to JuneElise, and you have any doubts about booking with them, you have my permission to ask her for my contact info for a referral. You simply can't go wrong! Tim G.

There's definitely a shortage of event venues if you're comparing to what's available in the city…read more And while we're lucky enough to have a city full of amazing venues nearby sometimes it's just easier to stick with something nearby. Hence why Loft 21 is such a popular option for bar mitzvahs and other big events. If you have a 12/13 year old kid going thru the mitzvah circuit chances are you'll end up here. The venue itself is owned by Jazmine at Hype Productions. I haven't rented out Loft 21, but have hired Hype twice and been thrilled with everyone I"ve worked with over there so I"m guessing this is so exception. Jazmine is very on top of everything, which is perfect for my type A personality. While I highly recommend Hype for event production you can bring in others to the space. The bar mitzvah we attended this past weekend had Tenny from Flo as their MC. The space can easily be transformed and seems to work with any theme. And for those who don't want to go crazy with decor it's a pretty venue on it's own. They have a nice area upstairs for cocktails. People tend to congregate near the bar which can make it crowded so I recommend putting a food station (or extra bar) in the area separated off so that people spread out just a bit. This area also overlooks the ballroom so at the end of the cocktail hour they do a big reveal by showing the room down below, which is cool. The acoustics in the space aren't great and my biggest complaint is that I can't hear anyway near me while I"m there. I can also barely hear any speeches when I'm in the space. However, it works great for music, montages and anything else you need.

Very much so appreciate the opportunity and thought this was an excellent way to celebrate Mother's Day.

I am so pleased with our overall experience and my guests loved every single detail of the venue. If you are looking for a venue that can be customized, reasonable price and intimate, I definitely recommend trying out this space.

It is an absolutely stunning space. Many of my guests walked in and could not stop remarking how great the place was. It is also conveniently located right next to the Highwood Metra, so my guests who came from Chicago without a car could easily come. The space is super flexible regarding vendors and decorating. Carrie, who was our main contact, was communicative and responsive! We found Loft 329 after needing to change the venue last minute from my original one. From day one of reaching out, Carrie was quick to respond, she managed to fit my mother in for a quick tour and booking was super easy. She even went out of her way to try to help us find a rental for some tables and chairs. Definitely do not pass this space up if you're looking for an affordable, flexible and gorgeous event space!

Very calming and peaceful which also matched the decor. The entire building is up to date and designed very well. The designs make you feel like 'yeah, this is going to be a nice getaway.' Haha! The staff was very kind, helpful and friendly. They explained the layout of the hotel, where the gym was at and answered all the questions I had. They did a great job of welcoming us and making us feel at home. We like sleeping with low temps and thankfully their AC was able to handle our need of 67 degrees. We slept very well. This place has a top notch standard of cleanliness. Everything was spotless and smelled very good. The rooms look recently updated and they are stunning. I really love the design of them with the blue art pieces, so peaceful and beautiful. The bathrooms are bright and spacious, also stacked with soap, lotion, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Taking a shower feels like you're at a high end spa. The water pressure is great, strong but not too strong. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks so much for everything!
