Nice hotel, convenient location, friendly service. My only complaint is that parking was a challenge-they need to have dedicated parking for hotel guests because with an event going on in the conference center the parking is very full.

Been staying here for a lot of years but the last few times it has not been very clean, it is in DESPERATE need of a renovation. The doors locks are not secured to the door. It looks like doors were broken into. The room needs cleaned, new tiling for bathroom floors & new paint. So run down… we will not be staying in the near future! We didn’t want housekeeping coming in the 3 days we were there but when we went to get 2 towels, wash cloths & hand towels after 2nd day they said none were washed yet to come back later! We eventually went back & got what we needed. Very inconvenient. It is conveniently located but the cleanliness is not good.

This hotel is modern and clean. I have stayed here before and enjoyed my stay. Just a head up: the bath room doors slide to close but do NOT close 100%. There is like a half inch opening between the wall and doo when fully closed due to the carpet and tile on the wall. And the bathroom doors do NOT lock. Just things to keep in mind if you are coming with friends or a new partner. Not as big a deal for a married couple.

Good room, comfortable hotel. The fan in the room runs constantly so if you are hoping for a silent room it is not that. It wasn't terrible, just not quite what I had hoped for. Thankfully it doesn't blow directly on the bed so it isn't too drying.

The atmosphere was fantastic, and the price was great. However, I was disappointed with the room assignment. I had booked a single room but was instead given a double-bed room. When I brought this up, the staff member, an older white male, was unresponsive and unwilling to discuss the matter, providing no explanation for the change. This experience left me questioning whether discrimination based on age, occupation, or race might have been a factor.

Clean property. Conveniently located. Front desk was slow to check us in. Problems locating our room despite a long time reservation. Waited 15 minutes at 7am for a front desk person to show up and help us with a luggage cart. They were unable to print us a check out statement.

I-hotel is always a great choice in Champaign. I splurged on myself and booked a room here since the rate was competitive with other options in the area. Bot I’m glad I did, This place is awesome! Check in was easy and the front desk associates were very friendly. I checked my room out, and I was very satisfied with everything. All is going great! I highly recommend if you can, to stay here. You don’t be disappointed.

Exceptionally clean and welcoming hotel. Our room was a great size and the bed was very big for king-size. Reception staff and others were all really helpful and friendly, offering a shuttle service into Champaign when we asked them to book a taxi., The breakfast was adequate, not a huge choice but enough. The hotel is situated a bit out of the town so without a car you might struggle to get around.

Faye at the front was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. We were given plenty of info upon check in which was fast and easy. The room was very nice and beds are extremely comfortable. Breakfast was included with our stay and it was not a typical continental breakfast. Coffee was excellent with very nice options such as breakfast wraps, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and much more.
