Howard Johnson by Wyndham Urbana - Hotel in Urbana - 1908 N Lincoln Ave, USA

Positive: It was quiet Negative: Everything was cheap or missing. No vending machines, No coffee in room or lobby. No glasses or pen or paper in the room. Polite staff could not print out three pieces or paper or provide me with their email. Advertised at $---, charged $---. Dishonest. Negative: ""

Staff is great! They are under new management and improving the facility. Talked to the owner and am excited to see the improvements during my next stay!

The staff were wonderful!!! They were so kind! But the place was a dump. It was dirty.... filthy. Our feet were black on the bottom from walking barefoot for an hour in our room! The shower had mold. There were fake nails in the pool? And green algae water around it! And the sheets were dirty! The towels had stains.... It was terrible. We will probably never trust the Howard Johnson name again... We booked it because it was Wyndham ... and we trust that name... not anymore. Whoever they hired to take the photos worked some magic! Because that is NOT how the property looks in real life. We were duped. We paid $25 for a rollaway bed that had so many stains I didn't even let my kid sleep on it..... *insert barf emoji.

Positive: Easy to get to and right on a bus line Negative: While we checking in he stopped and spoke in another language to someone else, floor was dirty, elevator was moving/shifting while door was still open, had listed they had a pool but couldn't use it, free breakfast was only a muffin and nature valley bar

Got this place via Priceline while traveling so we didn’t research enough, so that’s on us. This place needs some work, to say the least. The remote didn’t work for the tv, which didn’t have control buttons, and the replacement remote we asked for didn’t work either. After calling again and having a few random workers come in the room we gave up. They didn’t provide any soap for the sink or anything for the shower even that we could use to wash our hands. But we really weren’t interested in asking for anything else, it was late, and we just needed to sleep. The room itself was clean looking, but at closer inspection it was pretty iffy. Some trash left under the bed, splatters on the hair dryer and walls. Just kind of grungy. The service was fine though, the desk attendant was quick when we did call the two times. Other than that, meh. Lesson learned.

We booked weeks in advance to see the eclipse at $90 a room. We called a week in advance to confirm our reservation would be honored as they stopped working with Choice. We were told by the front desk that our reservation would be honored. When we got there, they did not have a reservation for us. They told us we should have rebooked, despite the person on the phone confirming we had a reservation. They told us rooms were now $400. I am VERY suspicious that they knew they booked the room at a low rate before they realized the eclipse was happening, and then they screwed people out of reservations and raised the prices significantly.

Beautiful hotel. The people were so friendly and helpful. The room was spotless and very elegant.

Positive: Location Negative: The rooms weren?t clean. Like hair on the floors and dried up liquid on the picture frames over the bed dirty
