From the archives four years ago today... Such a great…read morememories... my time spent at the Art Coop while waiting for my sister to finish her job at the fitness center was rewarded by getting to know and appreciate Hilary Pope... I must add something to her Yelp site... "buy some paint, architectural miniature trees, postcards with excellent gentle advice and make a friend." Note: I'm a senior (though with chartreuse hair) and in a Walker... being on a limited traveling budget, I still was shopping so the advice given by the owner Hilary was a gift plus she was patient and kind. She knew PAINT and brushes and.... her merchandise.

I love this store. A range of art supplies from kid scale to professional. Having a locally owned…read moreart store is a real treasure.

I used to work with another rental company because my employer had an agreement with them for…read morediscounted pricing. When Herriott's bought that company, I was worried the product would be the same disappointing items I'd received in the past. However, the product Herriott's provides is 100% better than what we used to receive. This is a company that clearly takes pride in what they present. They also take pride in their customer service. I have had great luck with the service I've received. I will admit, I tend to stick with what(or in this case who) I know. From the beginning, I have continued to work with the same person(Maggie), and I hope she never leaves. There was one time 'my girl' was not there, and I worked with someone else(I believe she said her name was Debbie). I had a great experience with her as well. I highly recommend Herriott's for any of your rental needs.

Impromptu lunch date here today. We saw the shaded patio and thought let's give it a try. The…read morehostess quickly seated us outside upon request.

Very spacious typical American tavern!…read more We tried more of the not typical American items and it was slightly a miss. I think if I came back I would definitely lean into the typical American stuff because that's probably what they do best (the fries looked really yummy on other people's plates) Shrimp and Scallop Ceviche - this was an appetizer specials that I really enjoyed and highly recommend. Every bite was refreshing! Korean Salmon - Salmon was cooked well and the crust was nice and crispy. Something was just off about the flavor -- the sauce was too salty. Surf and Turf Tacos - decent tacos, would consider getting again Overall in the pricer side but it is a nicer sit down restaurant in Champaign. Comes with free popcorn sampler at the beginning of the meal! The servers were every kind. They unfortunately cannot accept visa gift cards too

This is my favorite hotel when I visit the University of Illinois. It's new, clean, with great…read moreamenities. Great gym. Houlihan's restaurant/bar in the lobby. Nice complimentary breakfast. It is not unusual to see a collegiate athlete or two walking through the lobby. Several car charging ports in the large parking lot. In the summer when traffic is low, you can find $100 a night rates often. This is the best choice for a local hotel.

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.

I contacted Lexi via email a week before my brothers 40th birthday because her balloon arrangements…read morelooked way cooler than the cookie cutter arrangements from the big box stores and I was really pleased and satisfied with my arrangement and experience. She was very friendly and professional and responded right away. I had very little specifics and just told her mostly to have fun with it. She was helpful in making a few suggestions and eager to take the project on. Was also very helpful with delivering as had to make a change to date and time late in the week and she was able to accommodate. Prices were very reasonable and lots of personal touches. Would definitely recommend her for party decor or a surprise for a friend or any event one might need balloons for. I hope she finds lots of success in her business.

I recently stayed here again - for another wedding! Very popular place for people to stay for…read moreweddings as there were two happening the same weekend. The rooms are still nice. The ladies at the front desk were very nice. And this time I got to experience their meeting/conference space as the tornado warning went off the first night we were there. They have free breakfast but we didn't make it to it, except to grab some coffee. One thing this hotel could use is a water fountain with a filter. They are pretty common these days so don't think it would be a hard thing to put in. We had to keep buying water bottles from the front desk which felt wasteful. This hotel is downtown with plenty of things to walk to. The restaurant next door that does the room service for the hotel is great.
