I have nothing to compare this hotel to in the greater Champaign area as this was my first business trip there. Needless to say, I went in with 0 expectations. I was surprised at every turn. Excellent, large, comfy room and bathroom. The staff and service were excellent. The free airport shuttle is a nice convenience, and they will even... More

I stayed here last month for the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon and it was perfect. The start line was just out in front of the hotel. The room was very nice with a huge walk-in shower. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. I would stay there again next year, but they're implementing a 2 night minimum for the race... More

I stayed here three days and had a great experience. I've stayed here a few times in the past and never had 100% positive experience, so I was on the lookout for failure, but nope, everything was wonderful. Great room, quiet, comfy bed, clean accommodations, perfect free wireless. Muffin and tea every morning. Friendly staff. Very, very nice.

I wish I could have spent more than one night at this fabulous gem in -- who'd of thunk it? -- Champaign-Urbana. I was there for a conference and was dazzled by this stylish, hip hotel and conference center. The room was large and lovely with great beds/linens and a capacious bathroom with a top-notch shower. With a name like... More

This hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to be helpful to me, as I did not know my way around the area, and offered shuttle service to area locations.The rooms were larger than many standard hotel rooms, and the bed was comfortable. I found that the cleanliness of the entire hotel was... More

I'm kind of a hotel snob, and this place exceeded all of my expectations! Wow! It reminded me of one of the nicer Westin hotels. My room was exceptionally clean and well-appointed, with quality shower amenities, complimentary water, free Internet, and even a collection of books to read. The sheets were the softest sheets I've slept on in my life,... More

After a 4 hour drive from Wisconsin, we were pleasantly surprised by the IHotel, a fairly new hotel in the south end of the campus of the University of Illinois. The facility was new, modern, clean and comfortable. We were greeted by a very friendly staff person and offerred complimentary bottled water while we checked in. The check-in was efficient... More

This hotel was recommended to meand indeed booked for me when visiting the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign -sorry, I recognise that double-barrelled city name grates with some! The hotel itself is only a few years old, and is still in good condition. It has a large conference centre attached, although at time of writing I haven't yet been in... More

I've stayed at several U of I area hotels (and will be for at least the next 3 years) and this has moved to the top of my list. Great location on south end of campus. Very clean, comfortable, friendly. Love the free waters (so few hotels offer that anymore!) and Starbucks coffee in room. Room rate was comparable to... More

I travel to visit UIUC 2 or 3 times a year. I've stayed at most of the hotels in the area. The I-hotel is 10 strides ahead of everyone else. Its location is great, right on campus. Common areas are comfortable, from the fireplace in the lobby, to the free water and internet around the back in the business center.... More
