Top Illini Union Rec Room Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Urbana Champaign, University Area

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was better than average. The hotel was clean, however there was some obvious unfinished repairs to the drywall going on in my bathroom. I would think they would complete the repairs before renting the room. The front desk staff was not especially friendly. The location was convenient, however, there is a sketchy looking building adjacent to the property. I noticed it when I was walking my dog."
