Find 4 Star Hotels in Philo, IL from SAR 425

"I have known this hotel in my whole life. It surprised me when it went under renovations for an extended period of time, and I would’ve expected a lot more thought and quality for the decor and appointments. This is a historic hotel and landmark of Urbana, and the cheap furniture, carpet, and wallpaper take away from its core beauty and actually look out of place. The reception area does make a lovely statement (as most hotels do), but the hotel’s beauty has been cheapened and destroyed. Our room was VERY basic, and again, the decor doesn’t flow, and seems mismatched. For a recently redone hotel, our shower was clearly repaired and looked sloppy in the 8” spot where they repaired it (in other words, not new). Despite being assured this was a non-smoking hotel, our room smelled of old cigarette smoke (and recent carpet powder that gave me a headache). Positives: The beds were extremely comfortable, and the room seemed clean. The staff were great. I am just very disappointed that our beautiful hotel has been minimized and made to conform to ‘The Hilton Shoe’. I never write reviews, but I was so taken aback that I felt I needed to. Oh! If you sit at the bar, be careful with the seats - they are super flimsy and cheap."

"Great one nite stay. Appreciated lots free parking, on site restaurant/bar and in room amenities. Will return again."
