A fresh, modern and expansive lobby area welcomed us. Our room afforded a pleasant night's sleep with comfortable beds and exceptionally clean bathroom. We only spent a night but would definitely return. We didn't eat at its restaurant but cocktails and snacks were of high quality. The cafe offered a light, Starbucks-style breakfast. Rates are probably higher than other hotels... More

Our experience at the Ihotel was great. The customer service was great. They drove us to campus and picked us up at the end of the night. The room was clean and nicely furnished. The room had a mini fridge and a coupon for breakfast in the morning. Downside was when we returned for the evening, the bar had closed... More

While visiting the University of Illinois I certainly didn't expect a first class, well designed and modern hotel in such a small town. This hotel design compares favorably with major hotels in big cities, and is comfortable and quiet too, with excellent service. The only unfortunate thing is the location -- not really walkable to restaurants or shops, its strictly... More

All of the previous reviews are true (nice hotel, starbucks and houlihans), but my stay had a few pitfalls. First the Pros Great Customer Service Coupon for free pastry or small coffee with room price Free water Comfy beds Nice/Well stocked rooms Very close to campus The Cons First the room rates are based on occupancy and the 2nd night...

I had a choice of staying overnight in Champaign-Urbana or Bloomington, and because I wanted to spend the next day walking around my old stomping grounds as a U of I student, I decided to stay in C-U. As someone who stent 8 years living in C-U in the 80's, my hotel expectations were low. When I saw the tripadvisor... More

We stayed here with our daughter the night before her U of I tour. I was amazed that such nice accommodations exist on a college campus! The staff was beyond friendly, from calling a few days out to make certain of our online reservation to check-in, to calling us the following morning when we had left something at the hotel.... More

If you're coming to Champaign for a fun weekend of football or to see a basketball game, this hotel is perfect. It is within walking distance of campus and has a great atmosphere. Holihan's is attached so there is an awesome full service bar!! I highly recommend this hotel. More

This has to be one of the best service experiences in all the hotels I've ever stayed. Everyone was extremely accommodating and friendly. I travel a lot and found their hospitality to be unmatched. A bit too far to walk to the university but their van takes you anytime at no charge. And free airport pick up and drop off! More

Stayed here for one night this past Tuesday for bball game and it was awesome. The service of the staff was outstanding and the place was really clean and decorated nicely. Really nice to have Houlihans connected to do dinner and breakfast the next morning. The location is great too as it's right on campus of IU. Nice place and... More

I really enjoyed my stay at this ihotel. It was one of the nicest hotels I had ever stayed in. The people at the front desk were very helpful and nice. I stayed there for about a week and took full advantage of the half off breakfast coupons they gave everyone I stayed with. The food in the restaurant that... More
