Illini Inn & Suites - Hotel Rantoul / Gifford / Champaign / Urbana

They handled an overwhelming influx of patrons with grace, patience, dignity and fun. Our group booked at least half the hotel . We were loud, and stayed up way too late. The staff and owners hung out with us. The rooms were clean, and efficient. The building itself was an officer's barracks back in the day when the air base was active. Fun fact, said air base was where the Tuskegee Airmen were trained. Reasonably priced, standard breakfast hot and cold. Rightly 20 minutes from Champaign/ Urbana.

Positive: Fantastic front staff. Room exactly as described. Excellent price. Negative: No where near the highway. Not even close.

They were able to accommodate me having a disability and change my room to a better floor to help out. Everybody was very friendly from the front desk to the cleaning crew and the breakfast crew smiles in front conversations, and the beds are also very comfy. The rooms are clean.

When i say this place is a HIDDEN GEM, I MEAN IT. 🤩 PLEASE READ THIS if you are considering staying here! You won't regret it! ❤️ Me and my boyfriend got the jacuzzi suite with a spacious BIG jacuzzi right there in the room and the hot water gets HOT and doesnt run out! Oh and above the bed and also above the jacuzzi, there are color changing LED lights with remotes. It was so perfect. There was a big comfy king size bed that even had TWO body pillows on it! And an actual comforter not one of those plastic hotel blankets. 65 inch flat screen Roku TV on the wall! But wait! Its gets better! BREAKFAST OMG. They have biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, pancakes, French toast, waffles, granola bars and muffins, cereal and all that other continental stuff but the hot breakfast is free too and it

The rooms are clean and spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was much better than most hotels in this price range. The staff were lovely, friendly and accommodating. Google Maps had some trouble finding the exact road for the hotel but that was the only real issue. Consider adding a box of tissues in the room.
