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

The check in was easy, but when I took all my things from the car to the room and started to look around I noticed cockroaches dead on the... More

This motel was in very poor shape. Rooms were filty and smelled. I would not recommend this to another person or family passing thru the town . Towels were left in the shower which was an indication that the bathroom was not even cleaned from previous occupant. How gross is that! I couldn't wait to leave!! No recommendated at all.... More

terrible dump and poor service. Front desk unfriendly and couldn't help with simple directions to main areas in the area. Rooms were terrible, dirty and overpriced for graduation weekend. I will never stay at this motel again. More

This hotel is a total dump. I was going to Mom's weekend at U of I and didn't even stay overnight. It was so awful that I decided to lose the money and go somewhere else. The room had obviously not been cleaned. There were dirty gloves behind the door and the bathroom was unusable. DO NOT STAY HERE! More
