Top Alma Mater Hotel Reviews

Yugo Guest Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was challenging bc they have a small window and it coincided with the football game. Our tv in our room was also not working, which was also disappointing. Otherwise, everything else was great. I always try and book here if it's available."

Hilton Garden Inn Champaign/Urbana

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel I've stayed in on the UIUC campus."

Hyatt Place Champaign-Urbana

8/10 Good

"10 minutes' drive to University of Illinois Champaign campus. Went on a sold-out football day. Parking garage was double ($30 vs. $15 due to the football game). Was able to leave and return to the parking lot without additional cost. Walkable to lots of restaurants and cafes."

I Hotel And Illinois Conference Center

8/10 Good

"Very close to the University of Illinois Champaign campus, big advantage. (Went to visit my child who is going to school there. Stayed one night.) Free parking was a plus. The free breakfast was good, not expectational. (The breakfast burrito was not that flavorful.) Helpful staff, clean and comfortable room. Had a good night sleep. This was my second stay at the hotel. Will stay here again."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Champaign North, IL

8/10 Good

"It was a good stay. Great breakfast, clean room. Great price for the night . Great area where there are many stores and restaurants. Would stay there again."

AmericInn by Wyndham Urbana/Champaign University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. Nice staff. Breakfast was great!!"

Studio 6 Suites Urbana, IL

8/10 Good

"Good deal on a clean comfortable bed and hot shower. Otherwise room is relatively spartan but TV and A/C worked fine. Staff is helpful and seems to care that you are happy. Coffee in lobby in morning (Styrofoam cups need to go IMO), vending machines with a few snacks and drinks. When front desk is not staffed you get a motion-detecting "live remote clerk in a box" that was a bit unnerving in that it starts talking to you and captures your face image along with other info, Box person can process tasks like check-in and spit out the room key, although mine would not work so the local person who showed me to the room got that fixed pronto. All in all it was a good deal for me and I would stay there again."

Holiday Inn Champaign by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good stay"
