The carpets were filthy and in the rooms the lampshades were torn. I had to get my shower head changed because it was full of black mold. The hotel smelled like chemicals when you first walked in. My room smelled like something horrid, mildew mixed with smoke. I paid $338 a night for something that was not even worth it. I wish i hadn’t booked here. I understand it was a special weekend and they can up charge us but come on, the hotel was in horrible condition. I will never book a room at Howard Johnson’s again. I have traveled a ton and have stayed at too many hotels to count but this one takes the cake for worst ever. I do not recommend.

Ice machine was broken, had to go to front desk for ice. Reserved room for two, but only provided small towels for one. Had to request more daily. Tv remote didn’t work. Soiled men’s underwear in stairwell for days. Uncomfortable beds with cigarette burn in bedspread. Overpriced at over $500 for two nights. Front desk was polite, but overall disappointed.

Very gross hallways. Dirty and smelled like cat pee. Only stayed one night and had originally booked two. Was promised by Thomas at the desk the general manager would refund. Took several times calling and still waiting for the refund. Do not stay here. When I checked in, very drunk man in lobby seating holding a small bottle of liquor not dealt with by desk staff.

The EconoLodge in Champaign Urbana was an untenable, stressful experience. The walls are extremely thin, I was given a room on the first floor with an adjoining room which was occupied by someone who screamed at someone on the phone for hours on end, keeping me up until 3 in the morning. I complained to the desk multiple times and they assured me they would ask her to quiet down, but she didn’t. The room was dirty, the sheets were stained, and a single roll of toilet paper was provided in lieu of tissues. The desk staff were kind enough to refund me for my remaining nights, but I would not recommend booking this hotel.

There was nothing redeeming about this hotel. The first room i was given was not made up, the second one the door was open when i got there. the hallways smelled awful and were visibly very dirty. The room was newer but still smelled. The room was not made up the second day and i had to go down to the front desk to get towels and they were very rude about it.

We were looking for just a decent inexpensive place for an overnight stay. They allowed us an earlier check-in and an extra hour check out. That worked out much better for our schedule as we were only there to sleep. Toilet handle broke. No biggie. No soap in room so had to wash with shampoo and grabbed some from maids cart the next morning. Also only decaf coffee in the room. Door key would not work twice. Just little things but annoying.
