| - A couple of times my friends decided to meet in Champaign for a get together weekend because it is half way between the cities where we live. Once we stayed at the I Hotel, we had to go back.
The customer service is outstanding. The staff are very helpful, and if they aren't able to help or answer a question, they find someone who can.
The hotel has a modern style and is very clean. The rooms have your typical hotel amenities, and they do have free wi-fi. The last time I went they asked me specifically if I wanted a newspaper (they have several to choose from) and a coffee maker--these won't be in the room unless you indicate so. You also receive a card for a free coffee and pastry at the "I Cafe," which is the coffee bar next to the restaurant or you can use it for half off a hot breakfast at Houlihan's.
The gym is okay. There are a few ellipticals, treadmills, and bicycles with televisions and also, free weights. There are free bottles of water in the hallway going to the gym. There is also a computer with internet in that area, if you need it.
Houllihan's is the restaurant/bar downstairs and the food is really good. It's not a "fancy" restaurant, but definitely much better than typical bar food. They have a full bar, and you can even get a martini flight.
The hotel offers a shuttle, which will take you to different places in town and pick you up.
They also offer massages. I've gotten both the swedish and the hot stone and have NO complaints.
I'm a little embarrassed to admit that the last time we went, my friends and I arrived on Friday afternoon and between food, drinks, massages, and movies in the hotel room we actually did not leave the hotel until the relaxing, fun weekend was over on Sunday afternoon.
