The room was clean and comfortable, and very quiet. The staff was very polite and helpful. Very good breakfast. The area was kind of sketchy and rundown though. Good price for the hotel and I would stay again.

Good value.
Rooms are clean, but old. The building appears to be an old barracks. The breakfast was typical for hotels, but the quality of the items was very good.

The front desk was very kind and helpful. Breakfast was very good eggs, potatoes, bacon, cereal, bagels, yogurt, juices, coffee, walfels.
Water and coffee in rooms.
Our only issue was a floor that looks like it missed being vacuumed.
I would recommend.

Simple and convenient
Definitely worth the money and not too far out of the way. I plan on staying here again as it was easy to check in and the room was actually good sized and very clean. It looked like the breakfast had a nice little selection of hot and cold items. But I did not try anything. Definitely a decent place to stay for a night or two if you’re in the Champaign area and don’t feel like paying the higher prices.
