La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Champaign

10/10 Excellent

"."

Best Western Plus Champaign/Urbana Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We were very happy with the cleanliness of the hotel. Because it’s pet friendly, we were able to smell wet dog but we understood that it happens."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Champaign-Urbana

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay!"

Yugo Guest Suites

8/10 Good

"This was a good location to stay for football weekend! Communication with the renter was good and the building is clean, modern, and has a great cafe on the first floor. Walked easily to the UIUC Union from the hotel. Full kitchen was nice. Only complaint was that the bed for two looked to be full-sized. It was a bit cramped and creaky—not our best sleep. Other than that, it was a nice stay."

Hampton Inn Champaign/Urbana

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly helpful staff. Clean nice sized rooms with nice linens and comfortable beds. I love to stay here when visiting my daughter!"
