You get what you pay for! I was mislead by some of the reviews of this place. This was the first time in my life, that upon opening the mini fridge, I was greeted by a pound of slimy "green" cold cuts, a sticky almost empty jar of grape jelly, and worst of all, a nasty, sticky opened jar of mayonnaise. My friend and I almost threw up, as we gingerly disposed of our "surprises".

Controls on the heater/ac were so old, we could barely turn them to get some fresh air into the room. Some "suspect-looking" people in the parking lot, and in the breakfast area gave us the "willies". "Free" breakfast was the worst I've ever seen in a motel---and I'm sure it was included in the price.

I've stayed at many a nice Super 8 in the past 20 years (see my review on the Rhinelander, WI Super 8), and have never encountered one as bad as this one. Even from the outside, it gives off some bad vibes.

Couldn't wait to check out. Other reviewers talked about the nice lady at the front desk---she must have taken the day off when we were there.

We're coming back again to Champaign in July---guess where we won't be staying?

I knew I was taking a gamble booking this room. It was tolerable, but barely. The bathroom was gross. It looked like it hadn't been swept, let alone mopped, in weeks. There were ants and spiders in the bathroom as well as in the bedroom (I saw an ant on one of the beds). The shower was dirty, hair left over from previous guests. We were on the first floor, and could hear the people walking around above us. The breakfast was typical skimpy continental breakfast.

However, the air conditioner did work very well, and cooling was not a problem. And the people at the front desk were nice, and even helped me out by making a few xeroxes for me.

I was desperate for a room in Champaign this weekend (5-3-08) and booked the only room I could find, and specifically requested a non-smoking room since I have respiratory problems.
First, the young gentlemen smoking in the parking lot, hanging out in their pickup trucks, was not a good sign. Then I was told that the only room available was a smoking room, which I told the young lady would not do. She insisted that I only requested a nonsmoking room, but I told her that it was not a request, and that we needed a nonsmoking room. She told me to come back in an hour and she'd see what she could do. We came back and she was able to find us a nonsmoking room.
Well, the room is another story. We stayed in Room 212 and it was gross. The tub was full of mildew, the towels all felt like sandpaper, and when I went to turn on the air conditioner, the door to the unit fell off, and the dials were rusted and unreadable.
i went to plug in my phone charger by the nightstand and found a beer poptop under the nightstand and the walls were streaked with a brown substance, which looked like nicotine (Perhaps the room was a nonsmoking room at one time, but it was really gross). The sheets were pink and threadbare. The pillows had seen better days, too. The beds were okay.
I know that people have given this place a good rating, and that is the only reason I booked a room there. I would have slept in the car, but the women at the front desk said that no refund was possible.
Stay away, especially people who are accustomed to staying in clean hotels.

I have stayed at this hotel many times during 2007. The rooms are neat, clean and comfortable. I have always been treated in a friendly, courteous, professional manner. The innkeepers are nice people and the staff immediately takes care of any need. I would highly recommend a stay here for business or pleasure. Bernie H.
