While I read several reviews and looked at other properties, this property stands out as a unique piece of history being restored, repurposed, and brought back to life. It offers modern amenities while repurposing the existing structure. I appreciate that they kept the walk in closets and kitchenettes.
Having had family stationed here, the stay brought back many memories. I definitely recommend this place; we had a great time and loved everything about it.
Staff is nice. Building is clean and quiet. I like this place because of the location. It’s off the busy roads on its own. The rooms are big. Great value too! Perfect for anyone staying north of Champaign or around the Gibson city area.
The room was nice and clean, and the staff was courteous. It was somewhat difficult to get an Uber to the University of Illinois on game day. We would stay again.
Amazing restoration of a local favorite. Here’s what you need to know: Pricing is fair, hotel is clean, staff is friendly, plenty of free parking. I’ll always book there!
Much better than expected. Our room was clean and well-kept. We stayed before an Illini football game in October. Parking was a bit of a challenge with visitors to the haunted house across the street using the hotel lot as well. Room and breakfast were great.
