Room was fine, everything seemed to be working. Thought the room would have a microwave and an iphone charging C port. There were no safety concerns, elevators were quick and staff were friendly. Was not impressed with the onsite Restaurant (Houlihan's) , and the complimentary breakfast, while appreciative of the convenience it was pretty minimal. The Starbucks coffee was the only good thing about it in my opinion. We would stay here again.

We took the Train up from Carbondale to Champaign and stayed here. Glad we chose this hotel. Everything has been great. Rooms are nice and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Breakfast had several good options along with Starbucks coffee. Easily accessible public transit stop right in front of the hotel to get around town. They also offer a free shuttle to and from the Amtrak stop. There are several good dining options within a mile of the hotel that are easily walkable. Thank you for a great stay!

The room was clean as well as the towels and bedding. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The mini frig could have been colder and no microwave. The breakfast was very good, no cold scrambled eggs or breakfast meat. The egg burrito was great as well as the fresh fruit. The lobby was spacious, clean, and inviting. We would stay here again. The price was very reasonable.
