Top Illini Union Rec Room Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Champaign/Urbana

10/10 Excellent

"Room clean and fresh Disappointed no refrigerator in room"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Champaign North, IL

8/10 Good

"Clean room"

Hotel Royer Urbana Champaign, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with so much of the original features. Clean room, comfy bed, helpful staff. Easy parking. Looking forward to staying again."

Drury Inn & Suites Champaign

10/10 Excellent

"What a terrific stay. The Drury Champaign delivered an exceptional hospitality experience that exceeds many major luxury chains. Our stay began with a welcoming check-in process, spotlessly clean rooms, complimentary evening "kickback" complimentary cocktails, and an outstanding breakfast selection. The staff and hospitality execution at this hotel operate at the highest level. For travelers unfamiliar with the brand, this location serves as an excellent introduction; it won't be your last Drury stay. This hotel is very highly recommended."

Hyatt Place Champaign-Urbana

10/10 Excellent

"I love this place. It is luxury without the price tag. It is located in the center of the jumping Champaign downtown. The convenience is exceptional. The views from the rooms are great, looking out on the rooftops of the city. Whether for business or pleasure, if you are in the area, this is the place to stay."

AmericInn by Wyndham Urbana/Champaign University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. Nice staff. Breakfast was great!!"

Studio 6 Suites Urbana, IL

8/10 Good

"Good deal on a clean comfortable bed and hot shower. Otherwise room is relatively spartan but TV and A/C worked fine. Staff is helpful and seems to care that you are happy. Coffee in lobby in morning (Styrofoam cups need to go IMO), vending machines with a few snacks and drinks. When front desk is not staffed you get a motion-detecting "live remote clerk in a box" that was a bit unnerving in that it starts talking to you and captures your face image along with other info, Box person can process tasks like check-in and spit out the room key, although mine would not work so the local person who showed me to the room got that fixed pronto. All in all it was a good deal for me and I would stay there again."

Yugo Guest Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The phone # did not work (when i was trying to contact to tell them i would be arriving after hours, that did worry me as it was my first time staying there) until the leasing office was open on Saturday but chat method did when I was trying to get ahold of someone even during office hours on a Friday after 4p. All did work out. The place was definitely nice and will stay again if needed. I do highly recommend."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Champaign

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful in resolving a mistake I made in making my reservation"
