Excellent

We were so satisfied with the great customer service and hospitality from management and staff alike. Roms were recently remodeled and spacious. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was fantastic!
If you are in town for baseball at the Rantoul Sports complex, its is about 2 miles away, and way cheaper than other places to stay. And the rooms were actually very clean and beds were comfy!!!
Five star hotel for an affordable price. The outside doesn't do it justice but inside I had a 65" TV, Walk in closet, sink with 6 cabinets, microwave and fridge/ freezer. Also shower has shampoo and whatnot like a 5 star hotel. Just a little outdated with the blue carpet. Oh and the windows are huge & have blackout curtains. Extremely quiet too! I will definitely be back soon
Driving up to it it’s not impressive just a brick building. Inside friendly check in. Hotel is clean spacious. The breakfast was good, waffles eggs bacon toast and French toast. The coffee was really good too.
The property is in a quiet area. There was a super Walmart within a couple miles. I was surprised by the wide variety of restaurants. Everthing was close and convenient to us.
The staff were very kind and accommodating and the room was fabulous!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We stayed here for our daughter’s UIUC graduation. The staff are friendly and they had good breakfast. The facility is a bit dated and it’s understandable because it’s a former military base living quarters converted to a hotel. It was a short drive to the campus.
Looks like the hotel is under new management. They were friendly and you can tell they are doing some updating inside the property. Room was comfortable and the price was good too.
Unassuming from the outside, this hotel provides excellent service that exceeded our expectations. Helpful staff and housekeeping, a full range of amenities and a full breakfast. We will stay again.
Nice budget friendly hotel. Hot breakfast bar is a plus. A couple minor issues. The rooms are not cleaned daily, would love to have fresh towels daily and a restock of coffee. The room had a musty smell.
