Really great stay
What a pleasant overnight stay I had. Super fair price, excellent room and really comfortable bed. The breakfast was a full, hot breakfast and the young man who was working at the desk and the breakfast area was really polite and helpful.

Okay place
Room was clean and it was nice and quiet. Window heating unit prevented the drapes from closing, so it was too bright in the room. Decor was quite dated and worn. Bring your own pillow. Breakfast had a nice variety and the front desk staff were really friendly and social.

Perfect stay in Rantoul
The hotel was prefect and the staff had. A very friendly long time friendly like atmosphere just asking some genuine question and seem invested in getting to not only know was as customers but also people by recommendations of restaurants near by and also by telling us some history about the town. The room was clean and easy to find aswell. I will be recommending the Illini Inn to all future friends and family planning to make the trip.

It's an older facility but the rooms and breakfast area were clean. The bathroom was small but the room was spacious. Breakfast options were good and food was fresh. They have a nice coffee/tea selection at all hours with the extras (creamer, honey etc). Staff was friendly and location is quiet (no traffic except hotel guests). Nice area to walk dogs if needed. This is part of an old military area so no close restaurants or convenience stores but good value for the price.
