Had a great stay here! The rooms are very large and spacious and very clean. Bed and pillows were comfortable and the shower worked great. In room Starbucks coffee for the coffee pot. The staff was very welcoming upon check in and also at check out. The breakfast was really good with sausage and eggs, waffles, bagels, cereal etc.it is an older property but has been nicely renovated and everything seemed to be in great shape. Thanks for a pleasent stay! If your on the fence about a hotel in the Rantoul area, choose this one!

The front desk upgraded us to a king room for free because one opened up right before we checked in ; when we reserved the hotel was almost full so all we could get was two doubles.

My 15-year-old loves staying at hotels, so once a month or so I will get us a room here for the weekend for a little mini getaway. We live about an hour away, so it’s just far enough that it’s something different where we can see the town, and the rooms are always immaculate, and the staff is super friendly. I was very pleasantly surprised at the breakfast options which included waffles, eggs, bacon, etc. We’ve stayed here three times already and will definitely be back. My daughter says it’s her favorite hotel ever and we have stayed at very fancy hotels at Disney and universal, but there is something about this hotel that is just very homie and comforting. It also helps that it’s super cheap. Haha

The Expedia rating for this hotel is not realistic. I selected this location based on the Expedia rating of 8.8, but it is not an 8.8 hotel. The service and people are at lease 8.8 or more, but the building is more like a 4.4 rating.
