It is adjacent to a railroad crossing that is active at night. You can hear the train horn when it goes through. Was only an issue the first night as there were no horns the second night.

The rooms were set up as studio apartments for two room mates. The TV was not laid out where you could comfortably watch. The TV did not work until maintenance replaced the remote batteries. The AC worked great when you were awake but after maintenance made programming changes. At night the AC would shut down because no motion was detected. You had to get out of bed and make a motion to enable it to turn on. The location is a block from a busy hospital ER. Many ambulances passed...

Perhaps the room selected by them was because I booked through Expedia, perhaps not.
I would not recommend booking here.

The Yugo complex is primarily a private student housing facility. The guest suites are a block of the facility run like a hotel/Air B&B. We had a studio room over a long Thanksgiving weekend.
Here's the good: The room was very clean and very well lit. The building feels safe and secure. The in-room laundry and kitchen was convenient. The bathroom fan was quiet. The bed was comfortable. There is no breakfast provided, but the BakeLab coffee and pastry shop in the lobby is first rate, worthy of a visit, even if not staying at the hotel. An Einstein's Bagel shop is across the street is another breakfast option. The room had a small sofa and lot of cabinet space to place belongings. The hotel location is convenient to the U of I campus and the Carle Hospital. Here's some issues: Our room faced the street so there was a fair amount of traffic noise. The room HVAC system was noisy and blew cold air for a while before the heat came out. There was a small table, but only one chair was provided, even though there was plenty of room for another chair.(Perhaps larger rooms have 2 chairs?)
There was a very nice TV, but there was no practical way to watch it from the bed or the sofa. Another reason a second chair would have been nice.
The reception is staffed only limited hours. We arrived late, so our key was left in a lockbox. While this worked OK and we had good communication from the staff, it's a bit disconcerting not to see a single staff member anytime during a four- night stay.

The room was clean and spacious.

Functional kitchenette with stovetop, microwave, coffeemaker, and sink. Hot water works well. Stacked washer and dryer in unit was a nice touch after a longer stay in the area.

Staff is kind. Kind of a small check-in window but the property is also an apartment so it’s not a huge deal.

Street sounds can get a bit noisy as it is by a busy road and upstairs neighbors are audible, but that’s the nature of an apartment.

Very happy with this stay and would definitely recommend if you are looking for a secure place to stay for a while.

This is a student apartment building with, it appears, a few “hotel rooms”. There was absolutely no noise from students but a fair amount of noise from the traffic on the street. Other than that it’s very new, very clean and has a little cafe/bakery on the first floor. Parking is provided.

Top Highlights:
Very clean and well-maintained.
Rooms are newly furnished and nicely updated.
Washer and dryer available in the unit for longer stays.

Needs Improvement:
There’s no staff available outside of check-in hours. If you need help or want to check out, no one is around, a self-service kiosk would really help.
This is not a traditional hotel, and guests cannot use amenities in the building.
Parking is limited due to a busy bakery and coffee shop next door. You may need to park across the street or behind the building, which isn’t ideal, especially at night or in bad weather.
Hallways are very dark and could use better lighting.
Toilet paper ran out, and since no staff were available, I had to go out and buy my own.
TV is very basic, you must sign in with your own streaming accounts.

Stayed here for one night. It's set up like a big efficiency apartment. It had a full-size washer, dryer, which my visiting college student daughter took advantage of to do a bunch of laundry. The cooking area is a galley-style kitchenette with a range and microwave plus a full size fridge. Parking was free and in a small lot right outside the building.

​Just a heads-up on two things:
1. ​It's pretty quiet most of the time, but there's a fire department nearby. So you will hear sirens occasionally during the night.
​2. The horizontal blinds let in a ton of light so if you're a sensitive sleeper, pack an eye mask.
​Overall, comfortable and loved having the full-sized appliances!

Very poor management. Check in time is 3PM, we arrived at around 3:15PM, we were told that the room is not cleaned yet, need to wait until 4:30PM. we stayed in the car and came back around 4:35PM, we got the key and walked to the suite, the bed is messy, it’s not cleaned yet, we went back to the office and told the manager, the office manager tried to talk with cleaner, and let us wait again, the office was closed at 5:00PM, until 5:40PM, the room was ready finally. Another poor experience is the noisy, the people above our suite walked around in his from all the night time and all the morning time, walked around and jumped, we cannot sleep until midnight.

My stay at Yugo Guest Suites was mixed. The room itself was nice, but the overall experience felt unwelcoming. I stayed for a full week and not once did a staff member from the hotel or apartment complex greet me or check in on how my stay was going, which left me feeling like just another number.

Another drawback is that while the property has a gym and pool, hotel guests don’t have access to them. When you compare the nightly hotel rate to what residents pay for their leased units, it doesn’t seem fair — you end up paying more per night while receiving fewer amenities.

As for noise, guests should be aware that the building sits right on a main road. Between normal traffic and ongoing roadwork in the area, you do hear trucks and activity throughout the night. It wasn’t unbearable, but it’s worth noting if you’re a light sleeper.

Overall, the suite itself was fine, but between the lack of hospitality, the limited amenities, and the road noise, it wasn’t the kind of experience I would hope for given the price.

Unit smelled from previous guest who cooked. Every time I walked in, I wanted to gag.

There was hair on the floor from previous guests in the restroom. Was not cleaned thoroughly.

Also—key card got demagnetized. Lobby is only staffed during certain hours. I was lucky and had to wait only 1/2 an hour for the office to open to get it fixed. I was worried all weekend when there was no staff that the card would be demagnetized again.

There also was not enough hotel parking as the overflow was closed off due to the area being fixed. Had to look for parking on the street a couple nights.

Good location, nice staff—but given all these issues, would not stay here again nor recommend it.

This is a great option for independent-minded travelers who want something clean and spacious near the university. There is not much in the way of front desk staff but they communicated smoothly about check in and check out. There is an excellent bakery downstairs on the premises. The kitchen is stocked with basic pots, pans, utensils, etc. Tons of space. There is a bit of street noise as the property is at a busy intersection, so bring your earplugs just in case. Overall, good value.

The place was very new, clean, awesome pastry company in lobby. Tons of places to eat around the area. Thr room we got was extremely noise all night with cars noises, honking, ambulance noises with our room facing the main road. The worse thing was I sat at the front desk for 20 mins waiting to get checked in and a key. There was a sign that said be right back, but no one came. After 30 mins of waiting and trying to call the phone number in reservation and no answer. I found a very nice gentleman in the leasing office. He jumped right in and helped. If it wasn’t for this professional and nice gentleman helping us, we wouldn’t have gotten checked in at all. No communication from phone or email.

My overall stay was good. There are some things that were not as good:
1. Stains on the sofa
2. Stains on the desk chair in bedroom
3. Oven is dirty
4. Some of the dishes required me to wash as they weren’t properly cleaned.
5. One of the plastic cooking spoons is nearly melted and cannot be used.

While these issues aren’t big they are important and was admittedly disappointed.

Feedback and suggestions:
1. Consider a step stool for those of us who are shorter as some of the dishes were difficult to reach without a chair.
2. Consider adding some baking sheet or pan. I specifically got this room so that I can make something to eat.
3. I was disappointed in the fact that I sent this information directly to Yugo via their email with absolutely no response.

Good, but not great

The room was spacious, bed was comfortable, and the location was excellent. I would stay there again. But the room had an odd configuration so that you can’t watch tv from the bed or the sofa. I ended up pulling the sofa out to the middle of the room so I could watch a movie in comfort. The TV was confusing - some directions would help. I couldn’t figure out how to watch ESPN so just gave up. To watch a movie on Netflix you have to log in to your personal account. The thermostat was wonky - directions would help here too. I’d try to turn up the heat, but it never got to the warmer temperature.

So my stay was good, but not great.

The personnell were very unorganized & impersonal. about a week or two before arriving my daughter sent an email to see if we could have our rooms on same floor. The person she communicated with said they would leave a message for us to have our rooms on the same floor since we were traveling together, but we’re paying for separate rooms. The person she spoke with said that they would make arrangements for us to be on the same floor when we arrive to check in we found that one of us was on the third floor and one of us was on the fourth floor. Also, we noted that there were no forks. in the kitchen in one of the rooms in which we were staying, my daughter, made a special trip downstairs and spoke with someone and was told they would find some forks and bring them up if they could find them. We never saw any forks. The rooms were clean, but the personnel were unfriendly. I believe if a person is paying for a room they should be at least acknowledged and that did not happen. Like I said you’re pretty much on your own would have to think twice about making a reservation at this facility.
