What guests think

Across reviews of Americas Best Value Inn Champaign, travelers describe a budget stay with significant cleanliness and maintenance issues—pests, odors, worn carpets and fixtures—balanced by occasional notes of clean or quiet rooms, plus a very limited and inconsistent breakfast.

The location is close to highways and restaurants, though several guests felt the surroundings and posted notices suggested safety concerns. Service feedback ranges from friendly staff to long, unattended check-in and unhelpful responses. Expect a no-frills stay with trade-offs in upkeep and service.

The property is located across from a more expensive hotel. Drury. cockroach in the sink upon entering. no coffee cups. coffee packet missing. not sugar. Ice machine broken. No iron in the building. No milk for the dry cereal visible. Very poor selection. No place to sit. manager entered room without knocking. Soap is terrible. doesn't lather, doesn't clean.

You decimated get what you pay for. The water was hot and the bed was soft, but no amenities. As i checked into my no smoking room the hallway reeked of weed. About 8:00 pm i went to front desk to ask for an iron and ironing board. I could see the iron and board. No one at the desk and had to dial 0 for service. Whoever picked up said i had to call back in the morning. So much for preparing. Advertised free breakfast was canceled. Only stake bread for toast, rice Krispy treats and a nice mixing that tasted watered down. Toilets are small and made for an elementary school. But like i said, the water was hot, need was soft, room was warm and cleaned at. Maids were very friendly and attentive.

There was no cart to put my luggage on to get to my room. Im assuming it was the owner who stepped up and helped me with my luggage. He was always so pleasant to speak with. Our sink wouldnt drain properly and the faucet needed a washer and water sprayed onto the surface. Our dead bolt didn't work which made me a bit nervous.

Complementary breakfast was non existent...nobody there when we came for breakfast and we were told it started at 6:30am. We came for college graduation and were VERY disappointed.

Huge glass window between you and the hotel personnel and could not hear what they were saying. Room smelled so terribly like smoke that you couldn’t hardly breathe. Cigarette burn holes on the blankets and burn marks on the bathtub. Holes in the walls everywhere. Broken electrical plates that are electrical shock and burn hazards. Never again and I would never recommend.

We called property and told them we would check in late and whennwe got to hotel no one was in lobby. We waited for over 1 hour and called and rang the bell and no one to let us in. We called expedia and waited another one hour and no luck. Because of this we waited over 4 hours in the middle of the night to get another hotel as all hotels were booked for mothers weekend. Absolutely ruined our weekend

From the moment you walk into the ABVI, you feel like you've entered a hotel that is barely hanging on. From the interactions with the grumpy staff behind the bulletproof window at the counter to the multiple signs indicating you're staying in an unsafe area, you never really feel at home in this second rate hotel. My bed had grit on the sheets that had either fallen from the popcorn ceiling or from inadequate preparation of the room. While technically a non-smoking hotel, the second floor wreaked of weed and tobacco smells. The 'breakfast' was never more than a banana and coffee from a pot that had been brewing for hours. If desperate for a room on a football weekend, this will suffice. However, I'd avoid if at all possible.

Not a safe area. Had another customer come in was asked to leave for cussing at the staff. The staff was fine but the angry man then sat outside for over an hour. Clearly an unsafe area with how many postings about calling the police.
