Do NOT book this hotel for UIUC Homecoming. My daughter and friends spent more than $1000 booking 2 King Suites months in advance. Only to have Expedia call just 24 hours before to cancel. Eastland claimed they SUDDENLY had renovations going on in one of their buildings. I called the hotel directly and the night desk didn't know of any such renovations. What's worse, Expedia blindly rebooked the stay at a dump of a motel at the same premium price - claiming it was the same caliber accommodation. Let's see.... We had 2 King Suites to sleep 6 people each, 12 people total. Equivalent to an apt, complete with fireplace, kitchen, patio and complimentary breakfast + free shuttle. The substandard motel gave us 2 cramped "King" rooms with a twin pull out couch - listed as a max occupancy of TWO. Most of the party had to sleep on the floor. No breakfast, no shuttle to campus. Have spent over a year disputing this with Expedia, with nothing but the run around from Eastland, obviously hoping we will tire and go away.
Knowing Chambana hotel rooms are in EXTREMELY HIGH demand during Homecoming - it is obvious that someone offered to pay more for the premium rooms and Eastland defaulted on the existing reservation to cash in. SHAME ON YOU.
