The room was arranged in a weird way. The television was not visible from the bed by the door. I got some bites on my neck after I got under the blankets. I don't know what it was but after the room was cleaned and the blankets werechanged, I felt better. I enjoyed my stay there though.

Great price for a basic hotel convenient to Champaign
Our room was never cleaned the whole time we were there had to ask for towels, but the staff was absolutely amazing. They were very helpful and kind and I would stay 100 times over just for that kind of service.
Breakfast every morning. Fruit, cereal, muffins, (even Pop tarts for the kiddos). Scrambled eggs, bacon, (sausage links, weekends), French toast sticks. Make your own waffles. Syrup, powered sugar, Nutella, jellies, Jif peanut butter. Yogurt, toast, bagels. Orange juice, milk, hot cocoa, coffee. That's just what I can remember.
The hotel was very clean, quiet and offered a great breakfast. Parking was minimal and very dark. Staff was friendly and courteous. The bathroom is very very small.
Excellent Staff even carried my luggage w/o me asking
Price can’t be beat
Bed & pillows great room large & huge tv
As a single female didn’t feel safe in neighborhood
Hotel really dated everything old exc tv
A/c old style window unit but worked well
Coffee fruit & muffins good didn’t try hot options
Really nice stay. Don't let the outside scare you away, It was an old officers quarters in WW1, it's a very nice hotel and the staff was very nice

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
There aren’t many amenities as far as a pool or fitness room but personally I don’t use these and I rather have a nice room space at a reasonable cost. Did include a large TV, a kitchen and nice large closet. Shower was very strong with immediate hot water. Elevator is not real convenient at the far end of the building but I was on the second floor which was easy to navigate by using the stairs. I would not hesitate to stay there again when I return to the area.
Amazing restoration of a local favorite. Here’s what you need to know: Pricing is fair, hotel is clean, staff is friendly, plenty of free parking. I’ll always book there!
It is a converted militarily barracks and not a fancy hotel. It is very nice inside and I will stay there again. I used the exercise room which also had the laundry machines. That room was plain, but I was working out and didnt need mirrors and fancy equipment. The breakfast had waffles, toast, cereals, scrambled eggs, sausage, fried potatoes, fruit, juice, coffee, etc. It was very good and I could choose what I wanted to eat. The staff were very nice to me.
