The price charged for the graduation weekend was twice the normal rate. That aside, they gave us a smoking room when we requested a non-smoking room. Beyond the stench, the room was grimy and disgusting with hair on some of the towels. The service desk was completely unhelpful when we informed them that we do not intend to stay because... More

We booked the hotel thinking it was an Econo Lodge. What a dump! We were in town to attend a college graduation and this was the only hotel that had available rooms. After arriving we could see why! They charged $129 a night. Why??? Certainly not for the ambiance. It was old, dirty, and run down. I would have rather... More

The room was dirty--the door frames were grimy, the bathroom floor had dirt around the edges, there was crusty stuff on the bedspread, there were cobwebs along the corners of the ceiling, the towels may or may not have been all changed before we came, and the room smelled. The bathtub may have been clean but was so grimy looking... More

Where to begin… First the sign outside the hotel said Illini Inn and not Economy Lodge. The outside of the hotel was nice but our room was in serious need of updating. Only the bathroom and sink had been partially updated. Dead bolt did not latch and curtains not entirely hooked to the rod. The bedspread was very old and... More

This place is now called Economy Lodge Inn & Suites... I knew this place was going to be a dump, by reading all the bad reviews, but we didn't have much of a choice... I booked it in July for a wedding (wedding was 11/12/11), got a discounted rate (yeah right) for the wedding $155.39 (tax incl)... that part even... More

First off...I never write reviews for anything, but this experience prompted me to take a few minutes in the hope of sparing others the miserable experience. Second...I am a pretty no frills type of person. I stayed here during a hunting trip with a couple buddies. We just wanted a roof over our heads between hunting days. We got the... More

Should have read these reviews before I booked this hotel! Read only 5 reviews and had the same exact experiences as all of them. Credit card charged 48 hours before arrival, dirty, disgusting room, bugs, broken furniture, felt very unsafe. Very rude new-owner (?) who asked" what I was going to do about it?" when I complained, since I had... More

This is by far the most disgusting and filthy hotel that I had ever stayed at. Every other hotel in Champaign was booked up for the weekend, and this was the only one available. Looking back , I would rather have slept in my car. The sheets were filthy, the bathroom was falling apart, the toilet barely flushed, the floor... More

To all travelers, Do not stay in this hotel you are better off sleeping on the street or in your car. We placed our items in the room, and went to visit family members. After four hours we come back to room 108 to find cockroaches crawling around the bathroom, walls, and beds. We also noticed that the air conditioner... More
