The rooms where fine. However I reserved a premium hot tub room. They charged me for the said room. When I went up it was just a regular room. When I went down to ask why I'm not in the premium room. They said it was broken from another guest. I booked the room 5 months in advance I told them they should change the price of the regular room (from 5 months ago) and maybe inform me before charging me. They said theyre giving me a discount for the regular room as it's $20 less than the current cost. I tried to explain to them that the cost for that room 5 months in advance is much cheaper. I had no other place to stay. I will be asking hotel.com for my money back

Very disappointed.

This was a poorly maintained property for the amount of money we spent on this room. My wife was too scared to stay so she moved my daughter and herself to another hotel for the night. While there is a pool, it is not maintained nor open. Maybe a piece of toast for breakfast. The pictures on the website are absolutely not accurate. We will never be staying here again and we have a lot of future events in Rantoul.

I don’t believe it was fully advertised that this was a motel style stay. The staff was nice and check-in was quick. I asked for a non-smoking room and the room still had a cigarette scent to it. The bathroom was quite small but the mirror and counter size was good. The bed was very uncomfortable. The pillows were the worst part. Each bed only came with two pillows (one for each person on bed) and they were thinner than paper. Not a comfortable sleep at all. Check-out was quick.

My friend also purchased a room but we had a wedding so they were unable to check-in until around 10:30pm. When they got there they were told they gave away their room and made them pay an extra $40 to get a different one. That is completely ridiculous when they had a room purchased. I have never experienced that before anywhere else.

We stayed here the Sunday night prior to the 4/8/24 eclipse, and we got the last room available.

Pros:
- functioning heat and refrigerator
- easy to get to
- close to Walmart and restaurants

Cons:
- everything seemed old or worn out… towels looked dingy and were threadbare
- creaky and bouncy beds
- only two towels on a double-queen room
- no separation between bathroom and sleeping area
- breakfast was frozen pancakes you can reheat or sugary cereals (no eggs, breakfast meat, dairy, etc.)

We don’t typically stay at 2-star hotels, so I don’t have much to compare to. It was fine for crashing for the night and I’d stay there if I had to, but I’d stay elsewhere if I could.

Was on a trip back home from vacation and decided to get a room for the night. Pictures on website looked nice and also featured a pool. Booked a room with the intention of letting my children swim before bed. We we got to the hotel.....pool was empty and was over run with weeds. Building was in poor condition. Suppord beams were warping. Wallpaper in room was peeling off walls and you could see where they had patched a hole and did nothing to finish it and make it look good. There were no towels for bathing. Description stated that it slept 5 but there were only 2 beds. There was nothing to accomidate a 5th person. Had to have my daughter in bed with myself and my husband. I will never stay there again. There were people obviously living there. Saw one person outside making videos on their phone for tiktok it appeared. Very run down establishment and we were very uneasy staying there. Do not recommend this hotel!

I normally don’t stay at places like this but there was a soccer tournament going on and options were limited so I booked this online.
Check in easy and courteous.
Upon waking to my ground floor room, I noticed old red tape on the door frame of the unit next to mine (crime scene). Room was clean. Beds were very squeaky and pillow about a inch thick. Tv didn’t work. Bathroom door didn’t shut all the way. You can hear everyone next to you and above you.
Normally this place probably rents for about $80/night but due to scarcity I paid $220.
I later googled the hotel and crime and found out in 2022 a murder was committed there! I don’t recommend.

This was the cheapest place on Expedia when I booked it for one night. For these circumstances, it was a good place. There were some issues with the wifi not working and the guy at the desk took a long time to check me in because he didn't know what he was doing. However, the room was better than what I thought it would be for a rock bottom price, and the place conveniently backs onto a Wal-Mart; there's a popular restaurant across the street and the inn is right off the highway.
