We do this often so I have stayed at each hotel in town and the Holiday Inn Express Suites Rantoul is far and away the nicest in town. Our room, the king suite, was extremely nice and very spacious with a comfy bed and pillows. The couch pulls out but since we didn't need it I cannot comment on the comfort of the sleeper sofa. The bathroom and shower were beautiful with average water pressure. The indoor pool and hot tub were nice. Both were warm. It was a little odd having the pool be so warm but I'd rather have a warm pool rather than a cold pool.

The bathroom was not the cleanest. Bathtub and sink were dirty as was the floor. Not very good soundproofing. The people in the room above us were very active way past 10 pm. This morning, we went down to breakfast and there were no biscuits for the gravy. No cinnamon rolls, the pancake machine was out of order as were 2 juice options. As we left, we heard an employee shouting, using absolutely foul language, which was totally unacceptable. We'll find a different hotel next time.

Although there is a newer, more expensive hotel two blocks down, it can be triple the price for the same quality experience. The staff here can be amazing. Last time I came, they had accidentally assigned me to a smoking room. When I came up to tell them, they were incredibly accommodating. Yesterday when I checked in, late, the new front desk agent was on her second day on the job. She was so kind and considerate and provided excellent customer service.

So we got the super 8 which is a little out dated and the chairs in the room have stains on them which need to be steam cleaned. The staff here is super super nice. They have a mini fridge and microwave in your room and you have cable tv. What makes me give three stars is when housekeeping clean our room the bed sheets and comforter where the same they didn't changed them out and I knew this because our comforter had a cigarette burn. The good thing I had bought cheap bedding sheets and covers and pillows and I would put them on top of the bed. Then when I would leave I would unfold the bedding like we used it. I would love to give five stars but this incident I was not to happy about. It's a good place to stay but recommend buying cheap sheets to use. This super 8 is 2 minutes away from the rock group. Right outside of the hotel there's an Arby's,Burger King, Jimmy Johns. Across the street is Taco Bell, McDonald's, subway.

I stayed here once so far. My review my fluctuate depending on future experiences. During this stay…read moreI had to drive back and forth from Danville. Danvilles hotels unfortunately have a reputation of having roaches or bed bugs-thats a no from me. I'd rather drive. I chose this hotel based on reviews. As someone familiar with military dorms , this place brought back some nostalgia. Pros- breakfast offered fresh fruit,cereal (with oatmilk optional!), bagels, eggs, potato,bacon and fresh coffee and juice. The bread tasted fresh not stale. And the coffee was rich (they use Starbucks ground coffee). The place is aged and the surrounding buildings are still abandoned after the Air Force base closed, but the hotel itself is clean and bug free , though there were giant mosquitoes outside. The room itself has a dorm feel even with a walk in closet and kitchenette (no hot plate or stove). There are definitely areas that the room could use replacement,like the shower floor or aged tiles on the bathroom floor. But there was no mold present in the bathroom including the shower curtain and the pressure of the water was fantastic. I checked the room for bugs and stains or hair that wasn't mine. I was pleased not finding any. I even checked the coffee pot where bugs usually hang out or the microwave, non present either. The only place was the shower stopper that had hair in it that wasn't mine that looked like it wasn't mine and was missed by housekeeping. I'll give them a pass for that. Also they don't come by and clean the rooms between days you stay there but they're nice enough to help you out with towels or what not if you need it. Also I drove around the neighborhood trying to see the sketchy vibe someone mentioned. As someone that grew up in the hood in LA, I didn't get that same hood vibe. It's definitely poverty stricken but people keep to themselves anyway. I'm visiting Danville again in December and already rebooked my stay.

Well worth the money if you're stopping by for a night's rest on the way to somewhere else, or if…read moreyou want to save money visiting the University of Illinois. Much cheaper than the hotels closer to campus, but not far from campus by car. It's out in the middle of nowhere, this used to be a military base of some sort and it feels like an abandoned military base. It's in that third stage of life for a motel, taken over by a South Asian immigrant family, it's run down and old, but clean and friendly. The Wifi wasn't working, and I had a lot of work to do, so that was a big negative. They were overwhelmed with travelers on their way to the Path of Totality for the 2024 solar eclipse, it was a long wait to check in and a long walk from the far end of the packed parking lot. My desk chair was missing a wheel. The only food around is Domino's delivery, which is America's saddest meal. I've stayed in worse.

This time the…read moreMagnuson Heritage Inn is being called First Heritage Inn, but the place is still just as wonderful. My husband and I have been here for three days now due to a flood in our basement which knocked out our furnace and hot water heater. The Magnuson (First) Heritage Inn has been a Godsend!!!!! They have a very nice bathroom with a tub just made for soaking in. The bathtub does have two VERY STURDY METAL GRAB BARS with a shower chair that is, big enough for a grizzly bear. The bathroom also has tons of cabinet space with drawers to keep things!!!! We are staying in the handicapped room, they are on the ends right next to a large handicapped parking space and an easy accessible ramp that pretty much leads right into the room. The beds are quite comfortable and the room is too. The heating, cooling system is quiet. And puts out the heat. It is January. The controls for the heater, air conditioner are very easy to read with big buttons to push. The tv is very good too with the cable channels you pretty much expect. The people that work at the Magnuson First Heritage Inn are AMAZING!!!! Extremely nice and they didn't make me feel stupid when I had to have them come to my room to help me program the microwave. Okay it was blinking and the buttons wouldn't work. The gentleman hit a button and Voila!! it worked. I asked what he did. He told me, it was the clear button,which was clearly labeled. He was a total gentleman. My husband and I will definitely come back to the Magnuson First Heritage Inn.

Right off of I57 and a very pleasant stay. I appreciate that this is a new facility (2-3 years…read moreold?) and feels like it too. Though I didn't;'t use the pool, it look pretty clean. The hot breakfast buffet was really good an d well kept. Shame that I didn't take advantage of the same area which turns into a bar in the evenings. The room itself was very comfortable and clean. The microwave oven and fridge were very convenient. Judos to the front desk staff and everyone else.

It is not unusual to see a collegiate athlete or two walking through the lobby. Several car charging ports in the large parking lot.

Of all the hotels in the area, if you're looking for clean and spacious, this is it. We had 6 rooms…read moreand only one had a few stray strands of hair left over from previous guest in the bathroom tub. Otherwise, rooms were clean and impeccable. Service was fantastic. 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."

I was there during a snow storm & they did a good job of plowing the lot. Hot coffee available throughout the day which is nice since i work overnights. My big issue is that the room temp has a cap at 75 degrees and it shuts off frequently even when the auto is not on. We haven't even hit negative temps in the area yet so I'm curious how the heating is through the winter. There was also hair on 1 of the towns when I entered the room.

It was really nice as expected: historic house and gardens, well maintained. For quality and amenities it's more on the level of a nice B&B, with a generous cafe just a short walk away (but not in winter!). Staff were kind and upgraded our room when the small room we checked in somehow had a messed bed. Generous parking and much of the main sites are drivable. I'd love to come back in another season!

I did my best to move most of them. You can see the staff just ran over them with there quads while on patrol, lol. Not much flora from mushrooms to birds to animals wild flowers. The U of I torn down the "tea house" that the original owner was disguised with that act. With all the houses on the property why did not the U of I make a beautiful creation like they do on campus to restore history. They might have some events that are cool, but grounds not taken care of at least get some goats. If you like easy snooze trails, this if your hike, nothing here is even a moderate level, all easy. Only a honest review as always.
