I grew up on Champaign, and on a recent visit with family had to stay in this hotel. When I look for a hotel, I want something that is clean and up-to-date. I can tell you that this hotel meets these requirements. The facility is brand new with clean and comfortable rooms. The rooms are also quiet. The breakfast buffet in the morning is very good. The pool and jacuzzi are also very nice. The location is great for close access to Memorial Stadium, The Assembly Hall, U of I campus, and Willard Airport. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. Great choice if you are staying in Champaign!

This is my second stay in this hotel within a month. I chose it again because of the location and availablity. The hotel is adequate, but the service may sometimes be on a brusque side. Most annoying, however, are the noises in the night (although it may not be a problem if you are, unlike me, a very sound sleeper). The refrigerator in the room kicks up for a few minutes from time to time, one can hear water running in the neighbouring rooms, and there were also some noises I could not identify the source of. The hotel maids are not supposed to knock on your door for cleaning on the morning of your check-out, but they did and woke us up (on the other hand, we should have remembered to put up a don't disturb sign). They are also a bit too economic with the toiletteries in the bathrooms.

I stayed here while visiting UIUC. The room was comfortable and the internet fast enough. I was not amused to find that there was no room service for breakfast since I was on a tight deadline. Other than that, the breakfast was good - much better than at another Hilton Garden Inn I stayed at the following week. Recommended.

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.
