Flat out scary terrible. Condemned signs on back of building. Used condoms on balcony. One of our friends slept in car to avoid sleeping in room. Bring your own sheets if you plan on staying here.

We were forced to stay there because of Homecoming weekend. Everything about the hotel is disgusting. The "maintenence guy" walked around drinking a beer before the game, and when we returned, just as another guest noted, he ran up to us when we tried to enter our room and used his key to open it. He was clearly drunk. After... More

This property is older but appears to have had many improvements. The staff was very helpful and willing to ensure my family enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the entertainement in the lounge, the house band was awsome. I would stay here again.

If this is the last hotel in Champaign with availability, stay outside of Champaign. Stayed here in May of 2004, as all of the other Champaign hotels were booked for graduation weekend. Rooms smelled moldy/mildewy. Whole place looks run down. Some rooms didn't have numbers posted. Fixtures have been painted over brass finish. Shower mat is caulked to the floor... More

This place was the pits. Only the heat worked. Not enough fans to help. Attendent brought a 6 inch space heater to help with the heat and said "you can put it on fan only - ok". Worst hotel I ever "slept" in.

Disgusting does not even begin to describe this horrid place. I was stuck at this hell hole for one unseemly night when the town was booked by homecoming. In addition to the rude staff, we were greeted by unpleasent smells and very dirty surroundings. Everything about this place bleeds of dirtiness. The only things that we could be grateful of... More
