Champaign Garden Inn

Beautiful, clean, and eclectic room.

This is a beautiful inn and the hostess was pleasant and friendly. It was within walking distance to downtown places to eat. We would definitely stay there again.

Amazing place! Loved it!

Pretty and lovely

The place is quiet and location is great. We would stay here again.

Truly a stay for us to remember.

Wonderful place

We love staying here, and have been here previously at least once. The only negative is having to carry your luggage up to the second floor. Breakfast is self serve of a huge selection of frozen entrées, beverages and snacks. The large city park a block away is a delight to go to for a jog in the morning.

Loved the Victorian feel and the gardens

Gorgeous and very memorable staying

My stay was too brief to elaborate, but the Champaign Garden Inn is a gem. Wish I had more time to enjoy the surroundings.

We stayed in San Francisco suite, which had 2 rooms and Jack & Jill bathroom, great for 4 travelers. Only had 2 concerns. The master bedroom mattress was too soft and we didn’t get the rest we expected. Second was the bath tub, it definitely had character but one of us was not careful and got bruised while getting out, ie the tub is too high. Overall we had very positive experience, thank you!

We loved everything about the place! The house was beautiful along with the room, it felt luxurious. It was even nicer than the photos advertised. The bed was SO comfortable, and everything was very clean. Breakfast had good options, I ate a microwavable breakfast sandwich, but there was fruit, bread, muffins, coffee, tea, juice, and more. The place was in a quiet neighborhood, but close to campus which is where we spent most our time. We had no issue parking in their lot. I don't think there is any AC in the summer, but I didn't check with the host. It wasn't a problem for us because it wasn't too warm while we were there.

Kind host, generous breakfast. The Santa Barbara room has a NOTICEABLE smell of wet old carpet. We had to keep windows open; If you are sensitive for smells this movie not be the room for you.

This is a lovely bnb, with an equally lovely property manager. The bnb is situated a short walk from many area restaurants and the train station. Thank you for a comfortable stay in Champaign.

Beautiful, warm, welcoming space

Awesome place, very warm and homely. Close to everything. Lots of parking. Great breakfast foods.

parking on site.

Check in is fast and easy. Beds are very comfortable. The home is beautiful!

Yes parking worked out. Shopped a little in Champaign. Staff was beyond friendly and accommodating.

Friendly host, lots of breakfast choices. Beautiful home.

A lovely bed and breakfast. The owner made us feel right at home.

I really like the layout of the Inn. I was able to get access easily to the Inn and my room. Everything on the property was very clean and really nice! Service in the Inn was great! There was not one thing that I disliked about the property.

Everything was perfect

Wonderful stay!

It was an absolutely pleasant stay. The room was cozy and private, the breakfast was perfect, and the owner was more than accommodating. We needed a quiet place to calm nerves and prepare for a stressful interview and audition and this was it. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in Champaign!

Excellent room and lobby and amenities.

This was the best place! Very clean - cozy warm. They have thought of everything!!!! Can’t say enough good things - you won’t regret staying here. I will be back!!!! Luxury!

Great place for a weekend get away close to a lot of great downtime spots. Will definitely return.

Lovely people who run the Champaign Garden Inn. Our stay was so comfortable and welcoming.

Room very clean, staff friendly and easy off-street parking. Beautiful historic home in a great neighborhood of Beautiful vintage homes.

Excellent property.

Beautiful Victorian home!

Beautiful historic house nicely maintained, very clean, nice people, easy walk to bars and restaurants in downtown Champaign. This is now my go-to for lodging in CU.

Great place! So cozy and clean! Loved the tub and breakfast! They thought of everything. I'll be back!

Beautiful historic old home.

What a wonderful place to stay in Champaign! The home is full of character, spotless, quiet and had everything we needed. The dining room is stocked with snacks and drinks available 24/7 Any breakfast item you could want is available during morning hours. Downtown restaurants and shops are 15 minute walk. Street parking was no problem. Will definately stay there again!

Location for our early morning flight. The lack of customer service. The shuttle did not show up at the airport and no one answered the hotel phone. We ended up paying a taxi to get to the hotel. The morning shuttle was a discombobulated mess and not worth paying for the location. The hotel walls are thin and I was woken up at least 5 times by people in the hallway talking. The hotel seems to rely on its location near midway and has the very bare minimum. Will never stay here again.

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.

This is an older home, so do expect in the Berkley room quite a bit of inside/outside noise, water temperature variations and window AC over the bed. The main floor was very charming. Several continental breakfast choices. Walking distance to nice selection of restaurants. We did not have a restful sleep which is why we rated as good.

Felt like home!

We loved this place! It's a beautiful, historic home filled with a fascinating assortment of antiques, toys, books... They're not allowed to cook for guests because there's no industrial kitchen, but they more than made up for it with an amazing assortment of foods for breakfast. The inn isn't far from the highway, so it was easy to find. At the same time, it was a very quiet neighborhood and close to a variety of restaurants. We will definitely stay here again when in Champaign.

Fan on bed table full of lint. Bathroom was in need of cleaning in corners.

Beautiful house!

Lovely turn of the century house, good breakfast, great organization.

Charming Inn, we enjoyed our stay!

Decorated very nice inside. Continental breakfast was good except I am used to being served breakfast at other bed and breakfast places. Never saw the owners except for the owner’s mother who was nice. Would have liked to hear about the history of the house.

Unique home that is beautifully decorated. Nice outdoor spaces to relax. Would definitely stay here again.

Great value...Nice, cozy, B&B in a nice area & for very good price. Easy check-in. Great amenities. Comfortable room & beds. Excellent WiFi. Superb service & extremely nice owners. Excellent breakfast with almost too many choices. Easy parking. Everything was great...

Great value...Nice, cozy, B&B in a nice area & for very good price. Easy check-in. Great amenities. Comfortable room & beds. Excellent WiFi. Superb service & extremely nice owners. Excellent breakfast with almost too many choices. Easy parking. Everything was great...just one thing to keep in mind...really tall people might have a bit tough time fitting in the hot tub, but that's more of a secondary amenity, not a priority...

This place was a hidden gem. Old? Yes. But clean and a very unique setup. Highly recommend

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!

Loved the one-night stay. I will definitely stay here when business brings me back through town.

Charming old well set out BNB in a nice part of town with everything you needed for a nice night stay.

Great place to stay with beautiful yard and neighborhood!

Everything, charming old house Bed and pillows were uncomfortbale

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.

We arrived a little early, but were still greeted in person and was made to feel welcome. The first-floor common area was a good place to visit with our friends. It was lovely with so many interesting things to look at, very well taken care of and so very clean. A refrigerator was made available to us for medications which was helpful. Breakfast was not hot, but there were so many varied options and a microwave to heat a choice of frozen breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, etc. We were able to park in one of the 3 parking spots along the side of the property. The Inn was full, but all the guests were very quiet. Our room had separate room with a large whirlpool tub which was most relaxing. They made it work for us, but having to walk up to the third floor was not ideal.

It was a beautiful building and so comfortable and clean.

This B&B is a 'renovated to its 'historic early 1900's period' house including wallpapers and furniture. It's very tastefully decorated. The Chicago room was very spacious with large TV, a writing/workplace desk, and a 2 seated table for enjoying coffee, snacks, or just reading. There was great attention to 'detail'. The only downside I would consider is parking. Space is available for 3 cars but there are 5 rooms potentially rented. The additional free parking on Elm and Hill street close to the house is limited because of space competition with area residences. You might need to park a little further away from the B&B (~within a block) if you are late arrivals....not a deal breaker though.

Very nice and comfortable neat way of doing breakfast

We loved staying in this old historical house! Everything was comfortable and clean. Great area to explore.

Such a lovely and timeless bed and breakfast. I always love staying here when i visit the school with my kiddo. I cant describe it but i get such a good feeling when im here. 💓

Great, quiet stay. water pressure took alittle while to warm up. but besides that excellent

Very pleasant property right near downtown restaurants etc . It was easy to get to off the highway, in a nice neighborhood and within walking distance of restaurants/,nightlife. The San Francisco room has a lovely claw foot tub for an enjoyable soak after a long driving day! Good self- serve breakfast ooptions

Beautiful property. It really takes you back in time! Our bed in the Champaign room was extremely soft….too soft for us and our older backs, but some might find it comfortable.

Gorgeous property w/ lots of amenities!

This is an old fashioned bed and breakfast with plenty of charm, excellent services, and great use of technology. There are plenty of snacks, beverages, and breakfast options but no made to order hot breakfasts. Overall, outstanding value for your money. Highly recommend!

breakfast

Its a beautiful calm place to stay in a beautiful character builidning.

Want to stay longer!

Very nice historic house with comfortable beds and rooms.

Beautiful…clearly this home has been deeply valued by the owners…it is a destination itself.

Stayed in the Champaign Room. It was beautiful. Went for just a night by myself would would be great for a couple looking to get away. Check in was easy and didn’t even have to talk to anyone.

My mom and I have been doing an annual reading/writing retreat (she's a reader, I'm an author) for our February birthdays and this year we chose Champaign because of the cool book bar they had in town, The Literary. The weather ended up being kind of crappy Saturday so we stayed in and enjoyed the very cozy living room area at the B&B. It worked out perfectly for us! When the weather allowed, there were plenty of great restaurants and shops (including The Literary and the Jane Addams Book Shop) within walking distance. The hosts were so friendly and helpful, the house was gorgeous, and we stayed in the Chicago room which was beautiful and so comfortable. We would definitely stay here again if we came out this way and highly recommend to anyone needing a place to stay in the area!

Great stay and I highly recommend.

Very nice and highly recommend if you don’t want the traditional hotel.

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

Only an overnight stay for me so not much to add

125 years old in perfect condition, the Host was amazing. Check in was a breeze. Breakfast had so many choices it was hard to pick what to eat. There was snacks 24/7. The room was amazing with updated bathroom. Would definitely go back.

Nice Quaint place. Enjoyed our stay!

This is an Inn. It is an old Victorian home I guess you would say. I missed when I booked that it didn’t have an elevator and rooms were on 2nd and 3rd floor. The 3 rooms on 3rd floor are accessed by the ole back stairs. It was a steep climb. Room was nice. The Berkeley room bathroom is across a small hall that two other rooms access. The bathroom is supposed to be for Berkeley Room guests only but only locks from the inside and is a little small. Still a nice ambiance for a visit to Champaign.

Great place

It was very clean and comforting. It was quiet. I loved the help-yourself snack and drink bar...large selection of teas. The large jetted bathtub in my room was very relaxing. Self check in instructions were clear and easy to follow. There was no fuss and the property is lovely. The bed could have been a little more comfortable in the Santa Barbara room. Great selection of items for a continental breakfast. I will most definitely stay 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

The property is beautiful, both on the inside and outside. Much care went into the interior decor. The furniture, artwork, and other adornments are unique and tastefully selected. Consideration went into small details such as having ice scrappers and umbrellas available in the entryway. A sense of hospitality was lacking. Over a three night stay, I had no direct contact with the owner or anyone else affiliated with the Inn. Both check-in and check-out were contactless, and breakfast was entirely self service of frozen or store bought items (English muffins, dry cereal, oatmeal packets, yogurt, bananas, etc.). As well, the property has a number of posted signs that had a mildly off-putting tone: an "UNDER RECORDED VIDEO SURVEILLANCE" in the kitchen, "WIPE YOUR FEET" with large yellow caution symbols, an impersonal letter upon arriving labeled "READ DIRECTIONS FIRST", and warning that I would be charged $25 if I remove/steal the flashlight from my $300+ a night room (prices were higher for UIUC father's weekend). Overall, it was different from all my other bed and breakfast experiences, which have been warm and welcoming.

Gorgeous building, comfortable beds, lovely staff

Loved every minute! Everything was amazing -- beautiful inside and out! So comfortable and well appointed. Can't say enough about our experience. A++

Great experience

We had a wonderful time staying at this charming B&B! The home and room were beautiful, and the fall foliage and decorations made it feel even cozier. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

Had a great stay. Nothing too special about the room, but the location was great.

The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, the hotel is furnished with great attention to detail, and the snack bar and breakfast are really convenient.

Lovely place overall.. quiet, snacks available, porch to sit on, walkable to town. Only downside was the Costco breakfast. Everything wrapped in plastic. I would have expected some homemade muffins or something. But everything else was lovely!

I had not stayed at a B&B, for over 50 years, so this was a refreshing changge

Beautiful property

Beautiful victorian home. Loved my room. Roomy and comfortable.

Beautiful bed and breakfast

A beautiful old home an Awesome B&B. I felt at home for a night. Made my own dinner & breakfast - signs to answer questions. Close to town! & Security ? SUPER ! Cant say enough- Thank You!

Very well-maintained and beautiful grand house. Generally spacious rooms, especially those with ensuite bath. Decent continental breakfast with many beverages and snacks available all day. Almost never see any inn staff.

Beautiful house, charming inside and out.

Good locaton

I didn’t get to try the breakfast unfortunately. I slept too late. The shower was refreshing. The bed was quite firm, my husband likes a firm bed. Lovely lobby and front porch. I really liked the very easy check in and front entrance and instructions. I had a secret desire for an English breakfast but I know that is not very practical. Loved the robes provided, esp since the bathroom was across the hall. Next time I wouldn’t mind booking a room with a small desk or en suite bathroom.

Great attention to detail in everything. Quiet and comfort.

Well maintained property in historic district. Walkable area. Close to parks and restaurants. Felt safe. Easy parking.

Beautiful property. Gorgeous rooms. The owner is very responsive and easy to work with.

Breakfast needs improvement: more fresh fruit and wholesome alternatives. Fresh bread and a toaster. Less packaging. More recycling of waste.

There were a lot of choices for breakfast but it seemed impersonal.

Lovely inn, second time I've stayed here

The property is beautiful, especially if you history. The neighborhood is quiet and very walkable to downtown amenties. A very nice breakfast with many options.The proprietor is friendly and makes sure the small details are taken care of.

Easy checkin process, appreciate pictures that went with instructions. Decor fun to observe. Clean bedding towels etc. (may want to snag those curtain cobwebs though). Slept well, comfy bed. Would visit again.

You have to see it to believe it.I’ll never stay anywhere else in Champaign.thank you Kevin.me and your mom had a couple good laughs. 😂

Love staying here

Excellent service provided upon arrival. Gorgeous property. Clean rooms. Plentiful breakfast.

The Champaign Garden Inn is absolutely beautifully maintained and immaculately clean. We enjoyed coming home from a long day and relaxing in the gorgeous living area downstairs with a complimentary hot chocolate before retiring to our beautiful room. Bed was super comfy and got a great night's sleep.

It was a normal bed & breakfast meal; it was okay. I had thought homemade rolls for breakfast but misunderstood.

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.

Exceptional

Quiet and quaint. Had a very pleasant overnight stay while in town on business.

Good Experience

Na

Our stay was wonderful. The Inn is absolutely beautiful.

What a gorgeous house! I only wish i was staying for a weekend instead of a 1 night worktrip.

Amazing property built in the 1900s. Very cozy and quaint, but up to date with every amenity. Would definitely recommend!

I was disappointed in the breakfast and lack of gluten free items. I brought my own gf oatmeal and bread. Also the stay felt impersonal with no host to greet me. The bed (mattress) did not feel level ie had some sunken spots. Bedding was fine. Thanks

Enjoyed our stay on the 3rd floor. Quiet and easy stay! Comfortable bed as well.

Nice place to stay

Grand old house with a spacious first floor living room and dining area, bright and comfortable bedrooms, and warm and clean bathroom. Love the early 20th century decorative touches like the big furniture, intricate wallpaper, and Tiffany style lampshades. Highly recommended.

The rooms are very cozy. The sheets are so soft. The location is great.

Plan to return!

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!

Lovely Victorian house!

We loved the neighborhood and enjoyed looking at the stately houses. This house is beautiful!

The parking situation was a little rough but was manageable. The property was incredible and elegant. I really loved my stay and glad we went with this b&b over a conventional hotel.

Everything about this Inn was what I was looking for. Loved the room and beauty of an old house. Also loved the places to enjoy the outdoors. Host was very accommodating. Made our extended weekend perfect. Would definitely recommend.

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.

Wonderful front porch. Quiet nights. Friendly, yet don’t bother you staff. Charming house.

Lovely premises.

The Garden Inn was conveniently located to downtown shopping and dining! Nice, walkable neighborhood!

I was anticipating a Bed & Breakfast and looking forward to that but the food offered was microwavable food or plastic wrapped muffins. When we arrived around dinner time, the woman at the Inn wasn't very pleasant. I asked her for restaurant ideas for our family and her reply was - "You can google restaurants in this area and find them." Okay... There are web cams inside (common spaces) and outdoors - so not a lot of privacy as your eating your breakfast or rocking on the front porch which by the way is beautiful. The rooms are nice and clean which was a plus. The checkout was quite different then when we arrived - the Inn lady seemed pleasant and happy. So who knows, people have off days...

Garden Inn was like staying at an old friend’s house. It was comfortable and I had everything I needed for my stay and the location was perfect. I enjoyed my time there. And was happy to see so many restaurants and other venues in the area.

The Champaign Garden Inn was absolutely wonderful - highly recommend! The room was so comfortable (there are window units for the AC, but they were quiet and efficient!). The location was walkable to downtown Champaign and a beautiful neighborhood - we so enjoyed just walking from here, and taking a sit on the gorgeous porch to overlook the garden. The room was quaint, bed was comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean and very fun with vintage appliances. We will absolutely be back for another couple's getaway as soon as we can.

This is a gem of a place, can’t beat it for location, beauty, and price!!

The home is beautiful and warm, very clean, and me stays there are always relaxing and quiet. The breakfast selection items available are good way to start the day. The interior is decorated very well with beautiful stained glass lighting in all common areas. The breakfast area always has great coffee and tea options available. I have now stayed here a few times and will be returning next month for another conference meeting and am excited to be spending more nights at this wonderful home! The Inn keeper is always reachable and responsive to ensure your stay is pleasant. Simple to check in and check out when it’s time, I highly recommend everyone to take an opportunity to stay at least one night here, trust me you will return for a future stay!

It was a most charming place and an amazing stay. Thanks so much!

Champaign Garden Inn is a wonderful find and far exceeds all the other lodging options in the Champaign Urban area. The Garden Inn has a warm and welcoming feel. It is cozy and sophisticated as well as being up to date.

I was surprised to find this quaint B&B very enjoyable. The place was clean in a quiet neighborhood. Instructions to check-in are simple and easy to follow. Although the owner try to keep up with its Victorian image, I would like to suggest that the owner install bidets in the toilets.

Very beautiful home and property. Room was exactly as pictured and comfortable. Lots of options at the continental breakfast that was available.

I travel a lot and this is only the second time I have written a review. There is a whirlpool tub on the third floor so if you are staying on the second floor you will be annoyed beyond belief. The InnKeeper, Kevin, was not very nice about the fact I was upset. In fact he was very rude. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Great stay

Always wanted to try the Champaign Garden Inn and I can tell that it was great, not only is very confortable and organized, it is also charming and very confortable. Sadly it was just for the night but I look forward to stay there again.

Bathroom is detached and have to go through common corridor. No sound proofing. Was scared to hear people talking when using bathroom. Use only as a backup.

If you want an overnight stay that makes you feel like a king and queen, this is one place you should experience. Impeccable house, immaculately presented in all its 1900’s decor and glory, the hosts go to the nth degree to make you comfortable and at home. Truly a 5* property masquerading as a 3* …. Loved it!
