Top University of Illinois Observatory Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Urbana/Champaign University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Studio 6 Suites Urbana, IL

8/10 Good

"I have the same feedback as others here: I might not have stayed here had I known it was a Motel 6, the virtual check-in kiosk on the lobby was ok but felt weird, bathroom only had 2 bars of soap and no other amenities (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc.), and no breakfast. Our stay was generally ok - pretty clean hotel and room, decently quiet (maybe we lucked out), Additional feedback: very flimsy bed blanket and cover, bathroom floor tile grout needed a deep cleaning/replacement"

Homewood Suites by Hilton Champaign-Urbana

8/10 Good

"Loved the staff, they were professional and very helpful. Only issue with the room was the shower had mold and bacteria in it, which is why a 4 star. Everything else about the room was clean, bed was comfortable and it was great to have the kitchen. Air conditioning was great as well."
