What guests think

At Microtel Inn by Wyndham Champaign, travelers describe a budget, no-frills stop with small, functional rooms, generally clean spaces, and convenient access off the interstate, suited to a quick night's rest more than an extended stay.

Many guests praise comfortable beds, a quiet, safe location, and good value for the price. Common drawbacks include thin walls and occasional mechanical noises, and inconsistent room cleanliness or odors. Facilities and operations feel basic: minimal continental breakfast, sporadic Wi-Fi and ice/elevator issues, and a locked lobby with slower or sometimes curt check-in reported by several reviewers. Expect a simple, budget stay focused on sleep and road-trip convenience.

We just needed to stay to take a break from driving and get some sleep. The place is very secure, and the beds are comfy. Ice machine not working, not much personality behind the desk, and very basic breakfast. The price was right, and it had all the basics.

The check in wasn't great. You check in through a window in the enclosed doorway. The door to the lobby is locked so you have to wait in the enclosed doorway. There was a note on the window that said 'Back in 5 minutes.' We waited more than 5 minutes and no one came to check us in. A guest ended up letting us into the lobby. The person checking us in wasn't friendly at first, but when we asked about dining in the area she was very helpful. My only other complaint was that there was only one ice machine and it was out of order. There was a gas station next to the hotel that sold ice for $3. I would suggest either they invest in at least one more ice machine, or if the current machine is out of order, offer a $5 discount on the room and inform them of that ice is available at the gas station for $3. The room was small but comfortable and clean.

The odd thing about the hotel is you couldn't just walk into the lobby. It has a window like at a small gas station & they have to buzz you in after they verify you have reservations.

Great rooms, and very clean. However, parking lot lights at night were not lit. As a young woman, it was uncomfortable going to my car at night. Everything else was fantastic! The parking lot would not discourage me from staying again.

We stopped on our way to Racine, WI just to sleep. The non-smoking room smelled like it was a smoking room about a week before. So the room smell was not good. The AC was working but it was also very humid in the room. Very uncomfortable. And... the worst part. We got a carpet beetle infestation after staying there. In our car and our luggage. Horrible stay. No more discount hotels for us, especially microhotels.

We arrived 30 minutes before check in, and just wanted to unload our stuff and sit in the lounge. Instead, he said he had 4 rooms ready, and I said you pick one for me. We were staying 7 days & this was during massive graduation ceremonies, no rooms available anywhere. Our room reeked of dog urine, the bathroom of dog feces. There were spiders, and multiple types of tiny insects in the bed. The toilet broke. We endured 2 nights of this (knowing they were fully booked). Feeling as though we might end up hospitalized with breathing problems I went to the front desk and complained vigorously. She told me that someone had been living in there long term. She found us a room about 6 hours later. The change was night and day. My husband and I have been staying there for the last 7 years whenever we come home to Illinois. Never again. Also anyone going to a hotel in mid May in Champaign Il. beware of the enormous price gouging that goes on at EVERY hotel, motel, Airbnb, in driving distance of the area.

The hotel wasn't very clean, with foyer and elevator floors not mopped daily. Desk service isn't all that friendly. It sounded like every fan in the building is close to dying. Room smelled like vomit. On the other hand, an easy location at the outskirts of town, the breakfast was convenient and reliable.

For the price, it was ok. The parking lot is well lit, the areas inside and outside felt safe, and the room was clean. The mattress and pillows in our room were a bit lumpy and somewhat uncomfortable, but again, for the price it was ok. I would recommend to management that they invest in new pillows.

Tiny rooms. Accessible rooms did not have a roll in shower as advertised on-line. We stayed two nights but they deactivated our keys after the first night. We couldn't even get in the front door the second day! The service staff was friendly and helpful. Passed on the breakfast as it was not very appealing. The walls were paper thin and we could hear the couple next door as though we were in the room with them. We had to keep the TV on all night to cover their talking. We won't be coming back.

Honestly it was adorable room was small it was semi nice. Only had three problems. the walls are SUPER thin!!! so we were woken up to children crying in the room next door and the parent yelling at them. Neither ice machine worked. So that was a bummer aleo. Also my partner woke up to a huge bug crawling on them!!! we’ve never had that happen at any hotel we’ve stayed at… besides that it was lovely.

Microtel, so you know the room won't be large. Comfortable enough, though nowhere ro hang clothes. The air conditioner is very noisy and stops and starts all the time. It keeps waking me up. The building is new, it seems, but already seems a bit faded. The bed is comfortable.

Entryway reeked of urine, had to give id and credit card to her through glass window before entering main entrance and she threw a fit when I refused to let her take my card to another room. Sorry...that's how people get their account information stolen! Bed was so old the springs were coming through! Pillows were very small and flat. Breakfast was minimal to say the least. Man at counter at check our was just as rude. Won't be staying there again!

It took a long time to check in. I've not been to a hotel that locked the front door at 5pm. You needed someone to let you in, just to check in. Really a very poor customer experience. Especially given that it's not a bad neighborhood. Additionally it was really expensive for the little room you got.

The hotel served its purpose. We're just looking for a clean hotel didn't need a lot of amenities. Just someplace to sleep. Get some coffee in the morning. If you're looking for a lot of glitz, this is not your hotel. If you're just looking for a place to stay with good access to all the university offerings, this is a great choice.

Disappointing. We had to continuously get new room keys as they would stop working. This is the only place that requires a card to get in front door, so it was very inconvenient. The “hot breakfast” was a real stretch of the imagination. Instant oat meal or grits that you had to mix with hot water. There was nowhere close by to get breakfast.

Room was fantastic, however, if you're expecting a decent breakfast, this certainly fails miserably in that department. No eggs, no breakfast meat and the usual boring hotel waffle with nothing to enhance it. If one is a working person requiring a hearty breakfast to start the day before heading out, find another hotel that will cater to the working man who needs fuel to last until lunch.
