“No Frills but HUGE Value and Convenient Location! Repeat customer!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2011

I have stayed at the Red Roof Inn in Champaign at least a dozen times in 2010 and I plan to stay there many more times in the future. It is not the fanciest hotel, there is no pool, no full breakfast buffet, no fitness center, no, designer spa soaps and eyemasks, etc. but the rooms have never been dirty and the staff has never been rude or failed to equip me with a room even at 9 p.m. on Christmas! I think this place is heavily underrated because it is such a great bargain...but if you go into it thinking you are going to get the Ritz, you are obviously in the wrong place! There are no bed bugs here...no bloodstains on the blankets...no broken locks on the door...the non-smoking rooms do not smell like smoke. Just a nice little drive up place with a clean place to rest your head for the night! Great rewards program also!

“Avoid RRI Champaign, stay at one of many other local hotels!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2010

My wife and I both went to U of I and return with our relatives and friends for a football game every season. This is our first and last stay at RRI Champaign. When we arrived at 4 PM, we had a fine experience with the woman at the desk, but when we went to our room, we found broken glass in the corridor outside of our room that our dog stepped in (fortunately not hurting himself!). I let the desk know and she assured me it would be taken care of. At 9:30 PM when we came back, the glass was still there. It was also still there upon our check out at 9 AM the next morning.

Our carpet in the room, as well as the floor and wallpaper in the bathroom were filthy, and there was a hole in the bedspread. Walls were thin, and Champaign football weekends are noisy anyway, we figured that, not the hotel's fault. For the money ($105/ night), we felt we could have stayed in a much nicer hotel.

“Terrible....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2010

I booked this room through www.illinois-hotels.org. It was absolutely the worse motel room I have ever stayed in for the rate I paid. The motel was advertising at the property 1/2 the rate that I paid through the reservation service. Carpets were stained, furniture was severally damaged, sink caulk was missing and mildewed and the lint build up on the shower exhaust fan was a month or more worth off accumulation. I contacted the management and the reservation service requesting a discounted credit on my rate paid and neither would take ownership and provide any kind of resolution for the poor quality of the motel. I would not recommend and will not every stay at another Red Roof Inn!

“GREAT MANG AND FRONT DESK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2010

i would like to say what a great mang and front desk people you have at this location. you dont find that much.ive stayed at other red roofs and they have not been so nice or helpful. they deserve alot. they keep your place running. you need to fix the place up and i know thats not the mangs fault . you have let this location go. sad to see.you should think of that investment.

“We will not return”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2009

This was our second time staying at this Red Roof. We thought perhaps our first time in 2008 we just got a bad room. Wrong. This room was worse than the last. The carpeting was filthy. The bathroom door was literally held together with packing tape. I should have taken a picture. The furniture should have been retired years ago. It was way below thrift store. The lampshades were torn and mismatched. Worst of all was the bathroom. The seat had been left up and there were "dried drops" on the rim of the bowl. If housekeeping cleans anything in the room it should be the toilet. If that is not clean, everything else is suspect. There were also sticky smears on the furniture that could have easily been wiped off. I am not a snob or a particularly fussy person. I can adapt to used furniture and tired beds, but I will not tolerate filth. I highly recommend you stay elsewhere. This place need a total overhaul. I also hate the fact that you have to go to the office in the morning to have them remove the safe fee. When I went to the office it was closed. I stood 10 minutes in the cold air waiting for the morning person to return to the office. She said she was checking the rooms. It seems she should be there to check people out.
