We not from around here at all, hence us staying at a hotel I guess, and this hotel is fine, but without having car it isn't really near anything but the university. We heard the breakfast spot in the parking lot was awful, so good thing this place at least gives you a pretty big hot breakfast in the morning complete with biscuits and gravy and eggs and sausage! That was definitely a perk and the 24 hour coffee and hot chocolate--we made ourselves a little fake mocha with the coffee and hot chocolate packet to take on our long walk from here over to downtown Urbana.
That is the nice thing about this hotel I guess is that it is pretty much smack dab in between Urbana and Champaign, but I really wish this area had hotels placed closer to either downtown to make it a little more walking friendly.
But the rooms were decently sized, the beds were comfy, our room also had a sofa in it too which was nice to have, but the heaters are a little loud and you can hear cars outside depending on what side of the building you are on (I stayed here two separate times), but all in all, for the price it is a pretty good hotel just nothing amazing.
