"The parking was safe and easy. I worked nightshifts during the time I was there and I slept excellent, little to not noise, blackout curtains, nobody knock the door or interrupted my sleep. They ask me if I needed housekeeping just to let them know so they don’t interrupt my sleep. Friendly staff, attentive to anything you need like towels, bathroom rugs housekeeping (when you request it). It was overall a good experience. Consider if you are traveling for work! "

"Room, bathroom and beds were clean. There was a TV, coffee maker, and maybe other stuff -- all of which we did not use, so can't comment. There is a free parking lot outside. The hotel also features a free breakfast. They had 4 hots items, milk, coffee, DIY waffles, yoghurt and other items. Very decent. Both shifts of staff at the reception was friendly and helped us with some Q&A about the area and the hotel. Would stay here again."

Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Eastlake Suites Hotel & Conference Center By OYO Urbana

2/10 Terrible

"The pool was closed for renovations as was the bar. The lobby was dark and loud with slot machines. The halls smelled like smoke. The TVs in the room were tiny and the pillows flat. The breakfast had very little offerings and they ran out. The counters at the breakfast were dirty. The whole place looked run down. I did not stay for my 2nd night. "
