Everything was well maintained and very clean. Parking was good, even the street parking. I love how well they communicated with me about what I needed, directions to the place, confirmations, etc… would highly recommend as a multiple night stay destination to get the most the property has to offer. Would stay again.

Quiet Reprieve

This was a wonderful reprieve from the hustle & bustle of the city. We came down to move my son from one apt to the next & chose to stay at this hidden gem instead of a commercial property. The Chicago Room was perfect!

I’m very impressed by the staff and the stay. Managed with great precision and a lovely place. WiFi was a bit slow on the 3rd floor but this is a place to enjoy, not a place where internet is needed.

My mom and I enjoyed this cozy B&B. Located in a quiet neighborhood (although it is across the street from a high school--so you may hear the band on occasion but otherwise pretty quiet). Within easy walking distance to downtown Champaign, the Virginia Theater, cool book shops and plenty of places to eat. I would definitely stay here again.

Such a cool place. Stopped for a night on a long drive and didn’t want to leave the next morning. Walking distance to bars and restaurants

Explicit communication with links for pictures to identify procedures pre, during, and post stay. Felt like visiting family or special friend. On your own unless you choose to engage other guests. Good variety of select-your-own breakfast choices. Looking forward to our next visit

I greatly enjoyed my stay at Champaign Garden Inn! The instructions I received (for keyless entry) were clear; my room, the Santa Barbara, was spacious and comfortable; and I enjoyed meeting and talking with other guests over breakfast. I'll definitely consider booking again should I find myself in Champaign again in the future.

Old house built in the 1890's. Our room was very spacious and clean. If you like going back in time to stay in a great house, this is it! The breakfast was continental with various options. We definitely recommend it!

Charming old home. We had everything we needed and it was comfortable. We had a detached/private bathroom on the 3rd floor, but it was fine. I just thought I was a little noisy going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The biggest downside was the window a/c is noisy. Loved the neighborhood and walking to restaurants.
