I Hotel And Illinois Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience. Very convenient to the campus, everything was very clean, friendly staff… wonderful experience"

AmericInn by Wyndham Urbana/Champaign University Area

8/10 Good

"Staff at desk were friendly & helpful. AC was good. Bed was very comfortable. Shower was great. Breakfast included hot items. Bathroom floor needed a better cleaning. There is a limited space to hang clothes. We would stay here again."

Best Western Plus Champaign/Urbana Inn

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean, check in was easy. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was good. Only thing I wasn't real happy about was the light outside our room made it look like daylight was trying to come in on the sides of the blackout curtains. Didn't even need a light to find my way to the bed after my shower."

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Champaign Urbana/Campustown

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for any Univ of Illinois activity - literally right on Green St. Room was clean, staff was helpful, $10 daily parking to park in the parking garage, free breakfast was good, would recommend and will stay here again."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Champaign-Urbana

10/10 Excellent

"We were 2 hours early but able to check in with no problem. The room was clean and very spacious. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. My highlight was the ceiling fan in the bedroom, I am a hot sleeper and this was definitely a surprise added bonus for me!! Complimentary breakfast buffet was phenomenal!!! Well stocked, hot and great food!!! I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a short or long term stay!!! Thank you for the great night and outstanding service!!!"
