I stayed at this hotel for two nights for the purpose of visiting UIUC. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient at completing hotel check-in. As there was no one else going to the airport prior to our meeting, the hotel shuttle drove my colleagues and I to the university; it also drove us back to the hotel from the university after our meeting. This was indeed a pleasant experience!
My room was spacious, very clean, and equipped with free WIFI (another plus considering most hotels charge for this internet access). The room was rather cold at the beginning (similar feedback from another colleague) but once I set the thermostat to 'heat' mode, the temperature in the room was acceptable.
As to the minor negatives, I was certainly aware whenever the guest(s) in the adjacent room showered. However this seemed to be a common problem also at some of the higher-end U.S. hotels that I had stayed in. Also, the breakfast selection was not great.
In summary, I found it comfortable enough and value-for-money for a short stay.
