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.

The property was clean but very worn. TV didn’t work but they got it going(it was in plugged), phone did not work, 3 people were staying we only had 2 bath towels. Deck off the pool-broken spindles, loose boards and junk on it. Breakfast was bad, waffles poor taste, my grandson could not eat, 1 bottle of water in fridge, 2 hot dishes poor taste, my husband and I had a piece of toast with peanut which sufficed and we took our grandson to Casey’s and got breakfast.
