"It's an older building but well maintained. Clean with a great breakfast selection."

Hampton Inn Champaign/Urbana

8/10 Good

"Front desk clerks were superb. Room was clean & comfortable. 1 elevator was out of order. Breakfast was good, a little limited according to Hampton venues. Parking was well lighted. All in all a good choice"

Yugo Guest Suites

8/10 Good

"This was a good location to stay for football weekend! Communication with the renter was good and the building is clean, modern, and has a great cafe on the first floor. Walked easily to the UIUC Union from the hotel. Full kitchen was nice. Only complaint was that the bed for two looked to be full-sized. It was a bit cramped and creaky—not our best sleep. Other than that, it was a nice stay."
