The property was clean, but certainly appeared dated. The breakfast was on par with other hotels. They also offer a complementary dinner Mon-Thu (we stayed over the weekend, so didn't get to experience it). Probably due to our location on the far end of the hotel, but we had very little water pressure in the sink and shower. The staff was friendly, check-in was quick, and the breakfast was well stocked.

Nice property. Just a little old. Hallway floors are creaky. Room was nice. Whirlpool bath was good. Breakfast was mediocre but still nice to have. In a good location for dining options. Day desk staff was disengaged. Not unfriendly but terribly friendly either.

Affordable but dated. Some updates needed

The Heartland Inn was affordable & convenient to U of I athletic facilities. The Heartland had many solid reviews from repeat/loyal customers. However my feeling is it is mostly people of a certain age that need access to the U of I hospital which I am certain it is perfect for. Hotel needs an update. Good for an overnight but an extended stay would be disappointing. Breakfast buffet was good but not great. Pool was “acceptable” but small. Would be nice to add a fitness center. My largest issue was a young lady at the desk who on four separate occasions, was too occupied on her phone with her earbuds in to respond to my checking in, a request for a key that worked for our room, asking for a 4th pillow for our two beds, and at check out upon departure. On the 3rd & 4th occasion I decided to time the delay. 47 seconds & 52 seconds. Not a big deal but odd.

We won't be staying there again

1. The bed was one of the most uncomfortably hard beds we've ever slept in. 2. At breakfast, there were issues with coffee service. The machine, which was supposed to give you the options of lattes, etc., dispensed only plain black coffee. There was no unflavored half & half available and when asked about it, front desk staff was condescending and inhospitable saying things like "we're not a restaurant." After returning to our room, the GM appeared at our door to apologize and had 3 small containers of half & half in his hands that he had "found around in our meeting rooms." It was too little too late. 3. When we returned to our room after breakfast, our keys did not work. I went to the front desk and after asking only for my room number (no name, no request for ID or any other security measure) I was given new keys. I could have asked for a key to any room in that hotel. The lack of security procedures places all guests and their belongings at great risk. When called on it, the desk person response was "yeah, I really should ask."

I nearly fell in the shower. The floor was slick and they only provided a 2x3' shower mat. There was also thumping throughout the night like someone running or stomping. It was happening at 3:00am and when we woke up at 5:30am. Sleep was not restful.
