Urbana Hotel Guide - University of Illinois Observatory hotels in Urbana, United States of America.

"This hotel was full of chic and charm! The rooms were comfortable and updated. Would stay again!"

"A great hotel with all the high-end amenities but with a boutique vibe. Truly a gem in the C-U area. But please note that even though the hotel has "extended parking on-site" and a "24hr free roundtrip airport shuttle," it is not a "park-stay-fly" hotel. When I checked in, I asked about the extended parking, which was confirmed by the front desk. I also asked about the airport shuttle, specifically taking me to the airport the next morning and picking me up from the airport 5 days later. All of that was confirmed, including my flight details and my departure and arrival dates. It was only the next morning that the manager repeatedly informed me that they would tow my car away if they saw it in the lot at the same spot for a few days. I now understand that the "extended parking" only applies if you are also staying at the hotel for an extended period, and the shuttle is intended for guests who do not have a car, not as a convenience for guests who stay and park at the hotel. The manager was gracious enough to let me pass this one time, but I won't plan on this in the future. Too bad, as it soured my experience at the hotel. Side note, to quell the hotel management's concerns, I am clearly not a college student bound for a spring break destination. I am a 60-year-old senior executive, traveling to visit my 87-year-old mother. I truly hope my car is still in the "extended on-site parking" lot when I return. "

"We arrived just in time from a long day of driving for the dinner. It was very satisfying and we appreciated not have to leave again to go find dinner. We also took advantage of the cocktails. Very accommodating! Breakfast was also great. We were glad we did not have to spend extra money on eating out. Parking was also very easy and secure. "

"Great stopping point when traveling "

"I used the gym, our room was very clean, & all staff were helpful!"

"I am a 20-year-old solo traveler, and this room provided everything I needed for the night. It was clean, the breakfast was good, and the staff was very kind. "

"I got what I paid for as this was a cheaper price than our normal hotel. Our room had no fridge and I booked the room specifically with one. The room was as clean as possible but still had grime on the ceiling. Our bathroom had a toilet that ran or would not flush. The best thing about the place was the staff. "

"The bathroom had me experiencing vertigo. The bathroom felt like I was going to sink"
