I was at a conference at the Univ. of IL and I could not have found a better location! I just had to go downstairs to attend the conference and I could go back to my room to refresh whenever I wanted. The room was nice and clean. I have two complains/suggestions: first, the bed mattress should have been changed... More

Perfect location for visiting your kids at Uof I. Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the beautiful historic U of I quad ...in the middle of bustling college life. History meets charm. Parking and breakfast included with comfy beds and soft linens. Charming by any standard!

I was a little concerned after reading the reviews, but we loved staying at the Union. We had an admitted student visit with our daughter and this hotel could not have been more convenient. This room was absolutely fine with a lovely view of the quad. Parking was perfect and we could leave the car all day even though we... More

I'm organizing a conference with an organization on campus - Therefore I have had to be in touch with the staff at this hotel frequently (to make reservations, clarify guest arrangements, etc.) It's probably a class issue, but I-Hotel (the other hotel we're providing for guests) is significantly friendlier. Night and day. The staff on the phone, consistently, regardless of... More

The Illini Union Hotel occupies the top couple of floors of the large Illini Union student center, located near the center of campus at Wright and Green Streets. This location is certainly its best attribute, coupled with the usually-adequte parking provided for guests. Rooms are adequate -- plain and functional -- similar to a Holiday Inn. Upkeep and general maintenance... More

If you have any reason to visit the University; this is the place to stay. Its rooms are far from fancy, but at the same time charming and very clean and perfectly maintained. The bedding is as good as any high end hotel; the television is a large flat screen, free and very fast WiFi and reserved parking. The hotel... More

The Illini Union Hotel is a hotel...at a school. And it feels that way. Nothing glamorous, purely functional, and it fills the bill. I continue to wonder if the front desk is staffed by curmudgeonly locals begrudgingly employed there, or the bottom 50% of students in some ineffective Hospitality Management course of study. In either case, the warmth and professionalism... More

The hotel is old and the rooms are small and poorly maintained. The bathroom tub had black mildew in the caulking. The bathroom floor was dirty. Only nice touch is the flat screen TV in each room.

This is the second time this school year staying at this lovely old hotel housed in the student union on the University campus (we have a daughter attending). The rooms have been updated and the beds are comfortable. Even though on this last stay we were there during "unofficial" weekend, we had no noise problems. Those were the positive aspects... More
