If you're looking for a cheap hotel in Champaign, this La Quinta will do the trick. It's nothing fancy whatsoever, but the hotel has been updated recently and is an A-OK place to stay.
Here's what I liked:
-it's a real bargain.
-The staff was all friendly.
-The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean.
-They offer free breakfast, but be warned: it's carb overload. Since I don't eat wheat, I didn't have anything. But still, it's a nice touch.
-Free wifi!
And here's what I didn't love:
-The rooms still feel cheap even with the updates. But hey, you get what you pay for.
-It's really easy to hear every little thing outside the room. Get ready to hear everything in the hallway and outside at the pool.
-This is nitpicky, but this was hands-down the worst coffee I've ever had.
