When I arrived after midnight the lights were on in every room, casting a warm, welcoming glow. I made a cup of tea and fell into the large, soft, bed with extra comforters for winter guests. The hosts allowed me leeway for breakfast, keeping the dining room open while I snarfed down an abundance of snacks, treats, breakfast items, fruit - they seem to have everything. Everything is so neat and so tidy, but not at all fussy. I honestly feel like I could stay here all winter. If you are ever in Champaign/Urbana, there's no other place to stay. What a delight and what a find - a glittering jewel amidst a pile of crass Comfort Inns and Highway Hotels. (My only complaint - and to be clear, it is not one - is that I came in winter - I can only imagine the gardens in spring and summer.0 Stay here. That's an order. The Captain

My double room was clean and I had no issue settling in. The bar was open and I was able to order an amaretto shot (which tasted great, but wasn't strong) and a Diet Coke. I later ordered a chicken Caesar salad and an amazing chicken sandwich and was pleased with both items. My room contained an abundance of towels and pillows, something that other hotels often lack. I had the ability to request no cleaning service for my time there for complete privacy. The bed was comfortable and the alarm clock was used to ensure I got up on time on Saturday for a planned event. My only issues were related to food: 1) It took a really long time for food ordered at the bar to come out and 2) the breakfast bar was only so-so. Regarding the breakfast bar, the eggs were good and I enjoyed the blueberries and yogurt, but there were no biscuits available for the sausage gravy and my sausage patty was terrible. It was greasy and not nearly dense enough, reminiscent of a sponge. Also, there were only sugary drinks available, orange juice and some other fruit juice. I had to ask for a cup of water, only to receive a room-temperature cup with no lid handed to me by a service worker. Overall, this was a pleasant stay and I'm glad I had the chance to stay at the Eastland Suites!

The hotel has deteriorated. Our group reserved over 20 hotel rooms. Over half of us needed room changes due to the following: strong room odors of weed/smoking, red/brown stains on the floors, and a large number were given rooms that were already being used by other guests! Completely unacceptable and scary! It had us questioning the security of this facility. After the changes, many were left with rooms that didn't have enough beds for their family. We normally reserve a meeting room for our group dinner. This year staff said there would be no A/c and it would cost $500 to use the room! The pool was closed "for refurbishing" - no visible construction and the pool looked in bad shape. The parking lot had a mountain of trash bags. Breakfast was inedible. Some of the other hotel guests had visitors come and go from their rooms all night and were actively smoking. There were random people in the parking lot hanging out in their cars. There was no staff at check out - only a handwritten sign to leave room keys on the counter - unprofessional and not secure! For the price we paid, there is nothing redeeming about this hotel. It felt unsafe, dingy, old and completely overpriced. Book another hotel. Stay away!

I've seen one show there, "Ug", which is a tongue in cheek take on stage productions generally, a la Waiting for Guffman, but set in prehistoric times. An anachronistic blast. Based upon the great fun I had attending a Friday night show, I will be back for more. The theater itself next to the train tracks (duh), about 200 feet back from Broadway and across the street from the IGA/County Market liquor store, and you can park for free in that lot. Tickets are $15 each for Friday night shows, but less during the week. We got our ticket 30 minutes before curtain without a reservation. Do note, however, they only accept CASH or CHECK. They have free coffee and cookies (you can donate for this, also) in the lobby and a friendly staff. The players for the show we attended were really good, and had a lot of fun with the show. They were much better than your stereotypical community theater actors. The set design and costumes were excellent. This is a great date after an early dinner in DT Urbana and just a short walk from several good places to grab a quick, cheap bite. If the show is appropriate for kids, this would be a great place to expose them to theater, as the theater itself is tiny and you really feel like you are a part of the show.
