Fairmount 4 Stars Hotels

"This was a truly good hotel at a very reasonable price. The rooms were large and clean and quiet and well appointed. It was the only place on my five day trip that provided a laundry bag and bathrobes. It had decent towels and good pillows. The front desk staff was smart and funny and kind. The lobby was comfortable and large, the grounds were pretty, the restaurant had real food, not deep fried junk with a side of freezer fries. We sat out on the shady patio and listened to the live music while eating things like salmon brown rice bowl and homemade potato soup with a salad. The other patrons of the restaurant were relaxed and lingering. It felt homey and welcoming, not like some hellish corporate chain. I really liked it and would go back in a minute. The only slightly bad point was that they had a 100 dollar pet deposit (we were traveling with an elderly chihuahua) but my guess is that they used that money to deep clean the room after we left, which is fine with me. Oh and the breakfast bar was only so so. No croissants! Quelle horreur! The coffee bar was set up backwards, they should fix that, the milk and sugar should be at the end as you leave. Stay here if you are in Champaign. "
