    Place was excellent. Everything went great, from checking into the room to checking out the next day. Room looked excellent, with everything you'd would need. Plenty of pillows and a tv that works and has a great picture. Highly Recommend 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

    We have stayed at this location, a few times while visiting family. It is spacious and close to the highway. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. There is a nice pool. Rooms are very clean.

    I travel frequently for work, and there are only two hotel chains I choose to stay at. One of those two is Holiday Inn Express. The Urbana location is an incredible example of going beyond the brand. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Breakfast is on point every morning. Pool and hot tub are always operating and clean. Rooms are clean and ready to go for check-in. If you're traveling for business or pleasure, this is the spot in Champaign County.

    I have traveled this route many times but just discovered this HIXP. Right off the interstate, very good service, excellent rooms. Left before breakfast so can't comment on that. I was pulling a trailer and really appreciated the large parking area. Will definitely stay here in the future.

    Stayed here for the Half Century of Progress show in August 2025. Hotel was probably a desired spot back in its prime. Not so much now. One elevator was down, a lady in the lobby said it was down for 3 years. I went down to the lobby for more towels on Friday evening. It was a total clown show at the front desk. Apparently they were out of towels? How does that happen at a hotel? They told us to bring them our dirty towels so they could give us those back. There was a line of people waiting on: towels, broken A/C units, among other things. Luckily our A/C unit was in working order and ice cold. We didn't risk breakfast and opted for fresh donuts at the gas station next door. Roll the dice on this place if you dare. Typical owners doing barely enough to scrape by and pocketing $.
