Great service! Best experience we’ve had at a hotel! Amenities are wonderful and rooms are nice and clean!
My family stayed here for the weekend and it was great. The staff were very nice and helpful. The large pool was right by our room, which our daughter LOVED! There were vending machines with drinks and snacks, a workout room, laundry room, conference rooms, a gaming area for adults, and the breakfast area. If you want breakfast, I’d suggest getting there earlier rather than later! Mostly if you notice you are there on a busier night. Many people showed up to breakfast close to 9am when it ends and found most of the trays to be empty. We had gotten there a little sooner and felt bad about it, but it was close to the end. The building is non-smoking, but I also could lightly smell weed here and there even though signs were posted throughout. Not really an issue for us, but if you are sensitive to that, it could be something to consider. Could also just be the days we were there. The location was fine. Not super close to the “downtown area,” but right off the highway. There is a Cracker Barrel and Steak n’ Shake right next to it as well as a gas station. A four minute drive will bring you to a Domino’s if you’re looking for pizza with a drive up window option! So the other guests we interacted with were friendly and helpful to each other and us. The pool ranges from 3ft to 5ft with stairs leading in on one side and a short ladder on the other. Also, it has the motorized chair to help lower those in need into the water. Overall, we loved our stay and would go again if in the area.
I have stayed here a few times now. Their guest service is outstanding. Always someone friendly and helpful behind the desk. The beds are firm yet comfy. Good water pressure and temperature. Today for breakfast there were many yogurts, cereal, muffins and toast, juice. The coffee is great! What a bonus. It’s away from the congestion of campus. Free parking included. Well worth the price.
Excellent place to consider staying while visiting Urbana-Champaign. Eastland Suites has all the offerings you need to stay comfortable and enjoy your stay. Eastland Suites is extremely reputable amongst the community and abroad for having the best amenities on-site in the Urbana-Chapaign area. Welcome to Eastland Suites, enjoy your stay! We are sure you will!
The rooms were good enough, nothing super special or anything, but the staff has been absolutely lovely. I had several questions, and the staff member who was working at the desk, Siraj, was absolutely lovely and patient and wonderful every time. Truly made me feel welcome and at ease, and I appreciate it greatly, thank you.
Ahmed and the crew were so good to me n my Family! I came for my son’s 6th birthday and it was nothing less than amazing. Clean rooms, nice swimming area and great hospitality!
A.K at the front desk is the best. He worked to make sure I had a great stay. He was very professional and made me feel welcome. My room was clean, spacious, and smelled amazing. The hotel has a pool, exercise room, and free breakfast. Slot machines are on sight, too! I would stay here again!
Judging by the name change and the age of the reviews, I’m assuming this place is under new management as of recently, if that’s the case they should probably get rid of some of the outdated reviews because my stay was fantastic. Called in very late at night in a pinch, they gave me a good deal on a suite. Both the desk people I interacted with were very nice, room was clean and the walls were well insulated so it was quiet. The place is big and we were in the back corner, I did not use any amenities that were not in the room so I can’t comment on that. Yes, there are some characters around, it’s in that part of town, right off the highway and one of the lower cost options around, seems to be an extended stay sort of place. That being said, mind you business and people will mind theirs. This is not a luxury hotel but the place was VERY nice and spacious for the cost, clearly the people in charge these days know what they’re doing. Totally recommend this place, regardless of your budget you will get a deal. If you go in expecting the Ritz Carlton you will be disappointed but if you go in expecting a typical motel experience like me you will be very happy with what you get
Off the intersection of I-74 and US-45, this casual hotel is 3.4 miles from both the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and the University of Illinois.
