It is in a quiet neighborhood near the University of Illinois campus. We chose the Dr. Lindley King Suite which is located on the third floor of the building. It is a huge room with antique furnishings, a stained glass window, a high ceiling and a very comfortable king size bed. Our hosts Sylvia and Ernie were very friendly and engaging. Sylvia is originally from Ireland hence the name of the Inn. We enjoyed a tasty breakfast mixed with lively conversation. One of the highlights was Sylvia's homemade muffins. When I mentioned to Sylvia how much I enjoyed the delicious Irish tea she served she gave me a take home gift of tea bags. If you are visiting Urbana and would like stay somewhere different than a typical hotel, consider Sylvia's Irish Inn!

They initially gave me a room with no bed (likely the living room area for a suite) and they immediately fixed the problem. Once I got into my room, it was relaxing and wonderful. The king rooms have a walk in shower and the twin queen bed rooms have a bathtub/shower combo. I mention this as those traveling with kids might prefer the tub option. Every room has a mini fridge. Traveling with little ones here is nice because they can offer a microwave in your room if requested. Made a big difference for us traveling with a young one. The gym is small but they do have a peloton bike among other equipment like free weights and other cardio equipment. Complimentary breakfast has warm savory options like egg burritos both with and without meat. They also offer oatmeal, fruit, yogurt and bagels with plenty of refreshments. Parking is free and easy to find. There's also a complimentary shuttle to take you to places on campus if you have no car. There are also bikes at the hotel to get around. All in all, we enjoyed our stay as did our guests for graduation.

While I awaited repairs to the new home I bought, I stayed at Comfort Suites in Urbana, a brief four day sojourn, but LET. ME. TELL. YOU! Okay, so firstly, am I right on this or am I right?! Like, have you ever seen a Comfort Suites so highly rated? Maybe I'm unfamiliar with the brand, I admit, I think that might have been my second or third one (Chicago being my first and that one had windows that shook with the wind ;)), but not only was the room lovely (spacious for sure!) with all your typical amenities, but for me it was the STAFF. THE STAFF in this place (and yes, it deserves a shout) is like.... PHENOMENAL. STELLAR! OUT OF THIS WORLD. Now, before you think I'm over-exaggerating, let me tell you why... I'd not only returned to Champaign after being gone for 15 years, but I'd returned home after the dissolution of a 30 year marriage! On my own again, alone! Not only had I come back without a husband, but I'd returned without the awesomest use of my legs (after a tragic accident), so with two huge suitcases and a house I'd only seen through a videocam, I'd made a lot of big moves. Especially for someone with a pretty massive handicap! Well, Sales Manager Laura was there ALL. THE. WAY. She helped me physically, she sat down in my room with me, she like actually listened to me share my tale, she took GENUINE interest (there was no -hand out- or even an *ask*, I assure you!, (the only mention of money was my own, stating that I wished I could give her staff more for all *their* help (and her comment was only to say that they were hardworking and deserving, which they were!)). Laura was professional, but she made no effort in hiding her heart of gold, and I'm here to tell you, friends, it burst from her! She was professional, like I said, but she was so compassionate and caring and she shared her life with me in return! It made the whole thing feel like she was a friend! And, honestly, there was something really revelational in that (in that it was so rare, but sweet and earnest!). When my time was up, Laura helped me pack my bags, get the car around, and she hoisted those two huge bags into the my trunk like she'd been working life-long at the airport! From there, she bundled me up, sending me on my way, out into the great unknown! With a lot of hope, a lot of heart, and a huge smile! All of this hospitality -- yes, there's the word! -- all of this work in the name of care and concern for her customer! A stranger she'd just met! A person who, in the span of a couple days, made feel like family. Comfort as a brand, at least for a while, was using the slogan "Rested. Set. Go." but it was Laura who truly made me think of a real oldie. Something that felt more applicable to my time spent there... and like an old pair of jeans warm from the dryer, a real comfort classic, it was a staple in that industry -- "We'll leave the light on for you."

Rooms are well appointed with kitchenettes and a large bathroom featuring a walk-in shower. As with other TownePlace Suites locations, there is a complimentary breakfast each morning. Not really a meal to write home about but it does the job of getting you refueled and ready for the day. I will be staying here in the future for my campus visits. Recommended.

But the rooms are just bad. This hotel seriously needs a remodel. The elevator was clearly old and the the hallways were dark and creepy. So was the room. A drawer in a dresser in my room kept opening up just on its own - adding to the creepiness. Also, we didn't have a car and there is nothing walkable near this hotel so we had to Uber just to go get dinner. The coffee at the free breakfast was good.

Our night here was the worst experience I have EVER had at a Marriott property. The hotel was extremely dated, and the room smelled musty and was unclean. There was an air freshener in the AC unit and mold in the shower. The room fell far below the standards we would expect from a Marriott property (or a Motel 6). We didn't speak up about it because we didn't want to cause a problem and were only staying one night. Turns out we were making a $190 mistake without knowing it. Shortly after we checked out, we realized the hotel quietly snuck a $190 cleaning fee onto our bill without telling us. When I called about it, the front desk associate claimed our dog "peed on both beds." We explained that wasn't possible, as the dog was never left unattended in the room and was never let on the beds, but that didn't matter -- they were going to squeeze the extra money out of us and there was nothing we could do to stop it. The worst part: we realized we had slept on the same urine-stained mattress they made us pay to clean. Choose a different hotel, and if all else fails, just sleep in your car. Just don't come here.

When we checked in, the guy at the desk was super nice. He set us up quickly. We booked through Booking.com - that seemed to work. I had never done that before. The rate was budget friendly.

Service: when I arrived, I called front desk to bring up some supplies (you'll see a note that its only by request to not be wasteful). The lady was super fast, and super friendly when she dropped off everything! As well, just for the course of the 3 days that I stayed here, the reception was always ready to answer questions and greet you. Gym: small, but standard equipment I expected from a hotel gym. I did not go check out the pool, but it's right next to the gym. They provide some earphones and towels here! Room: I really liked that the room was separated by the bedroom and the "living" space (ie: TV, desk, couch set-up). This made it feel a lot grander! Only thing to note is that the bathroom is right across from your bed. Hard wood floor for the living space, and carpet for the bedroom area. Enough outlets as well! Location: pretty close to UIUC campus. Lyft ride is only about 6 minutes away! Also pretty close to highways, and a couple random stores (Mcdonalds!). Really quiet area too! Overall, I would totally stay here again!
