Very nice hotel. Stayed here for UIUC's Mom's weekend. It's 30 minutes away from the campus, but a quick and easy drive and more affordable. Hotel and rooms were nice and clean. Breakfast included. Free snacks in the lobby as well as snacks, drinks and basic personal items available to purchase. Great security looks on the doors! Easy check in / out process.
