Breakfast reviews are mixed, ranging from generous and well stocked to underwhelming with slow replenishment or limited vegetarian choices during busy times. The location feels quiet with easy parking and highway access, though walkable dining is limited and some travelers note thin walls, creaky floors, or occasional maintenance issues. Overall, expect solid value and straightforward accommodations with a few quirks.

Our stay at this Best Western was a great experience. All of the hotel staff were very knowledgeable and pleasant. The hotel was very clean, and our room was very clean as well. No issues with anything in the room, the Wi-Fi worked great. It was refreshing to stay at a hotel that has a microwave and a refrigerator still in the room. The breakfasts were also great, there was eggs, sausage, oatmeal, a variety of different milks, hard boiled eggs, bagels, everything you could want for a good breakfast. The parking lot was well lit and very conveniently located off the highway. We would have no issue staying here again, especially for the great rates the hotel offered.

I didn’t like the brown walls in the bathroom. I wish they did have a hot tub I was looking forward after a long day at work I could get in the hot tub and couldn’t. The pool is not heated it’s hot in the pool area but the pool itself was chilly.

Very friendly staff, quiet location, decent breakfast, pet friendly and they even have a small laundry room. Room was clean and they gave us a room by an outside door so it was easy to walk our dogs. Our only complaint was that outside door’s key ready and light were covered in spiders and their webs. Otherwise loved this place!

Booked hotel for Illini Game overnight stay; hotel was just as you'd expect for an average Best Western. Rooms were fine, AC was good, check-in and out was non-incidental. Didn't try free breakfast, there is a very popular breakfast restaurant right across the street. They have ice water and coffee in the lobby 24/7 which was a nice touch. For those looking to swim, there was a reservation required where 5 rooms can swim at one time and no more than two hour blocks. This didn't matter to us as weren't planning to use the pool, but thought I would mention it to others as this was disclosed AFTER booking. Overall, would stay there again for another game.

The property was an older hotel that was very nicely updated and repainted. Breakfast was ok. Eggs and sausage didn't taste right. The automatic pancake machine is something to see. I stayed only one night. Everything was clean and beds were very comfortable. Nice sheets and pillows. Bathrooms were clean and plenty of towels. The airconditioning was great. Staff were nice and helpful. Good neighborhood. I would return if i needed a place to stay.

Im grateful for coffee, some snacks and water at the lobby 24/7. The bed is very comfortable, better than other BW we have stayed. However, there’s very minimal protein selection for vegetarians on some days. The carpet feels somehow sticky in the room. I’m overall happy with the stay.

My stay was fine, overall, but some things were a little questionable. There was something spilled and not cleaned up down the side of the air conditioning unit, a 1/2 gallon of chocolate milk was left in fridge from previous guest and I had to throw it out. There was a nasty, big toenail trimming on this big ugly bench/ old whirlpool tub thing in the room. The sheets were VERY wrinkled and I questioned the cleanliness, but tried not to think about it too much. All of this just made me wonder what else was not really clean. Also, I was told no one would clean the room until I left, so I assumed I would not have anyone enter, but someone did empty my trash while I was out, although they did not replace the trash bags. The hair dryer did not work, but the staff member did try to get it going and then brought me a separate hair dryer. That was done very quickly. It was quiet there and I felt safe. The breakfast looked suitable, but I only grabbed coffee and a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich one of the days. Because dim the location for where I wanted to go there, I would probably stay there again. Just hoping some of these flaws were over sights.

The bathroom in our room was not very cleaned and there was only one soap for hand wash. No soap for showering! When we were paying $300+ for a night, this is a very bad experience. In addition, the air-conditioning unit was not working properly. It stopped producing cool air every now and then. I will not recommend or stay at hotel ever!

While right off the 74 freeway on Lincoln Ave. (excellent location), this motel gives off peaceful vibes as soon as you pull into the parking lot. A row of trees separate it from the highway, and the back is a pleasant green lawn. Rooms are a step nicer than budget minimal. Breakfast is fairly generous. My only negative comment is that the owner changes the Wi-Fi password very frequently, so you can lose connection the next day if you don't ask again.

The guy working when we checked in was super nice and helpful. He even offered to make sure myself and the others traveling with me had our rooms close together. One issue was that the hotel ran out of wash cloths. The room was very clean, comfortable bed and plenty of room. The bathroom however is not ideal. Door does not open all the way for hitting the shower rod, when in the shower the curtain is too short and water gets in the floor, the door also barely misses the toilet so once in the bathroom you must close the door then slide to the toilet. Overall good stay, just not an ideal bathroom for more than one person.

Only complaint is the bathroom door doesn’t open all the way because it hits the toilet. Ha!

We had a wonderful stay at the Best Western University Inn in Champaign! The room was spotless and very comfortable, and the hotel itself felt quiet and peaceful — perfect for a relaxing night’s rest. The staff were friendly and communicated clearly from check-in to checkout, making everything easy and pleasant. Breakfast was a highlight — great variety, fresh options, and plenty of seating. The location is also convenient, close to the university and nearby restaurants. Overall, a clean, quiet, and well-run hotel with excellent service and value. We’d definitely stay here again!

The property is ok but the staff is very unfriendly. They charged us twice for the same room and refuse to refund. The front desk person told us that we will take care of everything and was going to charge my husband's credit card but I gave mine. He told us that this will be charged once. When we came back we were charged twice. When I called to settle this, the manager and the front desk guy was very rude and told me I can do whatever I want. Please avoid this property and a complaint has been filed against this property at BBB. I will also be filing a lawsuit as this property is doing unethical business. AVOID THIS PROPERTY!!

Negative check in experience. Could not understand the check in person due to very very poor English skills. Needed to use the printer hooked to the computer provided by the hotel. Printer did not work and the staff could have cared less. Not sure they understood me. Said to email an address and give them the material to print out. Major security risk. I declined

My only negative comment is that the owner changes the Wi-Fi password very frequently, so you can lose connection the next day if you don't ask again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Best Western University Inn in Champaign! The room was spotless and very comfortable, and the hotel itself felt quiet and peaceful — perfect for a relaxing night’s rest. The staff were friendly and communicated clearly from check-in to checkout, making everything easy and pleasant. Breakfast was a highlight — great variety, fresh options, and plenty of seating. The location is also convenient, close to the university and nearby restaurants. Overall, a clean, quiet, and well-run hotel with excellent service and value. We’d definitely stay here again!

Quick overnight stay. Booked online via Expedia and they were expecting my late arrival. Friendly staff at desk, even pointed out I was exactly 27 days older than his dad, LOL. Room was clean, price was decent, breakfast minimal but ok. Towels were clean and sufficient but some of the scratchiest towels I’ve ever encountered in a hotel. But good value, convenient on/off access from I-74 and would stay here again.

Chambana had a lot of expensive hotels - like Chicago expensive. Not sure why exactly? But if you're looking for a good lower priced option, this is a great choice. Clean. Comfortable. Friendly staff. Better than average breakfast. Pool is small with no changing area, but they provide pool towels and the water was clean. My only real complaint isn't something they can fix - it's the location. No real food or shopping in walking distance. But as long as you have a car, there are plenty of options nearby. I would definitely stay here again.

Very convenient to I74. Check-in was a breeze with Alexa at the desk. There is one family style restaurant across the street, but many other choices in Urbana city center approx. 2 miles away. This is an older BW but is still clean and comfortable. Above-average hot breakfast. Would stay again.

Our stay at this Best Western was a great experience. All of the hotel staff were very knowledgeable and pleasant. The hotel was very clean, and our room was very clean as well. No issues with anything in the room, the Wi-Fi worked great. It was refreshing to stay at a hotel that has a microwave and a refrigerator still in the room. The breakfasts were also great, there was eggs, sausage, oatmeal, a variety of different milks, hard boiled eggs, bagels, everything you could want for a good breakfast. The parking lot was well lit and very conveniently located off the highway. We would have no issue staying here again, especially for the great rates the hotel offered.

Rooms and overall cleanliness is OK. Disappointed about the replenishment of the breakfast items. Breakfast is from 6-9. Came at 8 AM and nothing was available. Had to survive on once slice of bread and little cereal. Expensive for the location and no value for the money.

I read the reviews prior to booking as we travel a lot for sports and we were truly impressed by this facility. It looks like they have done renovations. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing and the service was the same. We will definitely stay here again on future visits.

The property was understaffed especially around breakfast time. Given that it was the week when freshmen joined UIUC, the hotel was occupied more than average. However, due to a shortage of staff, the utensils and, food was in short supply. Some breakfast items were packaged as opposed to being fresh. The issue was not with the staff that was present but rather with the management for not managing the rush properly

The hotel was clean, nicely decorated, and the staff was responsive. The breakfast was subpar because the pancake mix was empty the first morning and the oatmeal was lukewarm at best. The coffee urn was empty. The second morning the oatmeal was under cooked. The biscuits were dried out. I took mine to my room to soften it up in the microwave. The staff responded immediately to each of these problems when I pointed them out, but I don’t think they should have existed in the first place. Perhaps the employee was new? I don’t know.

Their breakfast options were only eggs and sausage and egg muffins. Nothing for vegetarians so was a little bumped. I paid $200 but without breakfast essentially
