Many people have entered Champaign as mere mortals? only to exit as bona fide stars. Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee, film-critic Roger Ebert and Hall of Fame football player Dick Butkus all lived in Champaign before they hit the big time. After a stay in Champaign?s Drury Inn and Suites, who says you couldn?t become an icon as well? Our free HOT! QUIKSTART® breakfast, which features Belgian waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage and many other delicious items, is an ideal mental stimulator. If you take advantage of our free business center and free wireless Internet, your business prowess can only be heightened. And with our free indoor/ outdoor pool and whirlpool, you can continue working toward your Olympic ambitions.. If you aren?t in the market to increase your star power, Champaign has plenty of excellent attractions to keep you busy. The Historic Virginia Theatre transforms a movie into an extraordinary event. Over 1,500 guests can enjoy their 56 foot-wide screen that has been entertaining Champaign since 1926. Nearby, the University of Illinois Campus Town is full of unique shops and restaurants. And the Parkland College theatre is a great place to watch a show performed by the Parkland fine art groups. Aside from leisure attractions, Champaign has a wealth of educational activities for the whole family. Unleash your inner-Aviator, visit the Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum and see classic aircrafts from the past 80 years. Fine-tune your science skills at the Orpheum Children?s Science Museum. And become star struck at the William M. Staerkel Planetarium. During your stay at the Drury Inn and Suites of Champaign, stardom might be unavoidable..

Nice large rooms, with a refrig and microwave and coffeemaker. Nice hotel lobbey for lounging with visiters or reading the paper. Lobbey has large screen TV, fireplace and offers a hot breakfast in the mornings. Evenings they offer guests free drinks (alocohol or non-alcohol) and free snacks and popcorn. I have stayed at some very expensive hotels around the world, and comparetively, this little gem is worth every penny. Staff is friendly and helpful. The swimming pool, although I have not used it, is half inside and half outside, and is located directly across from the back elevators. That avoids the embarassment of walking to the front lobby glass elevator in a dripping wet swimsuit. Lots of parking, and a great steak/ribs restaurant located next door. A Bob Evans restaurant is just two blocks away. This is the best hotel in the Champaign/Urbana area.

My overall stay was excellant. The only problem we had was associated with the room key. The first two key cards did not work. They fixed another key and it worked until the next morning when we came back from seeing friends and it did not work...

The beds were very comfortable. I was offered three free drinks and snacks during happy hour. The shower curtain rod was curved, allowing more room in the shower. The toilet paper was soft. They have free breakfast.
