We were looking to keep our travel costs down and the Econ Lodge was in expensive. I shared a room that had two bed and there wasn't much floor space. The room was clean, but the maintenance was a little shabby. The tube need new caulking (moldy) and the shower fixtures were dated. The room was quiet. The staff was... more

This was one of the last two rooms in Champaign during the U of IL graduation weekend, so we stayed there to the tune of $169. Were it not for the special weekend, we doubt they could get $40/night. Check in/out were okay. The continental breakfast was okay, but nothing special. The hotel and rooms are just old and show... more

My family rented two rooms last minute for a funeral that we came into town for. The hotel staff was accommodating when we had to call twice to change our date of arrival to a different date as we found out more about the funeral arrangements. The hotel could use a major update and renovation. Our room was fair. I... more

On a recent trip, my wife and I had the displeasure of getting tired enough from driving to stop in at this EconoLodge. As Choice Privileges members, we always try to stay at Choice hotels and we have had very good luck with them over the years. This experience was contrary to the norm. The room was disgusting... - Carpets... more

My fiance and I were coming back home on a long road trip only to find every hotel from Rockford IL to Champaign booked, when we finally reached the Econo Lodge at 3 am we were beyond tired.

I travel A LOT and was impressed with my stay at this hotel. The price was so inexpensive I expected the worst, but I am always on a tight budget so I ran the risk. The surroundings are not visually impressive and there was the normal signs of hotel wear and tear as with a hotel of any standard, even... more

I am a 25 year old female and came to champaign on a business trip. When I entered the room, there was this smell of cigarette everywhere although the room itself was a non-smoking room. Added to that, there was black powdery substance everywhere (on the carpet, also on the phone). The sheets and the comforters looked disgusting. The towels... more

We booked 3 rooms here for our 8 family members while on a trip to Champaign at the very end of December 2006. The staff are courteous and helpful. The hotel is conveniently located just off the interstate. The continental breakfast was pretty good, with juice and waffles. The rooms are very cheap. This hotel is in DESPERATE need of... more
