Yugo Guest Suites

8/10 Good

"This was a good location to stay for football weekend! Communication with the renter was good and the building is clean, modern, and has a great cafe on the first floor. Walked easily to the UIUC Union from the hotel. Full kitchen was nice. Only complaint was that the bed for two looked to be full-sized. It was a bit cramped and creaky—not our best sleep. Other than that, it was a nice stay."
