Easy checkin process, appreciate pictures that went with instructions. Decor fun to observe. Clean bedding towels etc. (may want to snag those curtain cobwebs though). Slept well, comfy bed. Would visit again.

Heather, Thank you for your recent stay and for taking the time to post a review for us. We are glad you enjoyed the room and your stay (and don't worry a vacuum will visit those curtains thoroughly tomorrow). We look forward to welcoming you again ... hopefully soon.

The house and room were lovely. Instructions were helpful on check in, parking and how to get to room on 2nd floor. I had everything I needed in the room.I felt very safe. I've stayed at many B&B'S and have always been served a homemade breakfast sitting at a dining table with other guests. I was disappointed in the breakfast and lack of gluten free items. I brought my own gf oatmeal and bread. Also the stay felt impersonal with no host to greet me. The bed (mattress) did not feel level ie had some sunken spots. Bedding was fine. Thanks

Mary, Thank you for your recent stay, and for taking the time to post a review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and felt safe. We have never served a cooked breakfast because our public health department would require a full commmercial kitchen. We describe our breakfast fully on all of our booking sites as to avoid the assumption that we serve a cooked breakfast. The majority of our guests seem to enjoy our selections and the freedom of not having breakfast at an appointed time. I will certainly check on the bed. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and would welcome the opportunity to host you again.

Charming old home. We had everything we needed and it was comfortable. We had a detached/private bathroom on the 3rd floor, but it was fine. I just thought I was a little noisy going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The biggest downside was the window a/c is noisy. Loved the neighborhood and walking to restaurants.

We have purchased the quietest window AC's available ... but they are still a bit noisy. Of course the good thing is that there is no air exchange between rooms with window AC.

I was anticipating a Bed & Breakfast and looking forward to that but the food offered was microwavable food or plastic wrapped muffins. When we arrived around dinner time, the woman at the Inn wasn't very pleasant. I asked her for restaurant ideas for our family and her reply was - "You can google restaurants in this area and find them." Okay... There are web cams inside (common spaces) and outdoors - so not a lot of privacy as your eating your breakfast or rocking on the front porch which by the way is beautiful. The rooms are nice and clean which was a plus. The checkout was quite different then when we arrived - the Inn lady seemed pleasant and happy. So who knows, people have off days...

My apologies for our breakfast not meeting your expectations, although the breakfast provided is a continental breakfast exactly as advertised. We do have webcams in the public spaces for the security of our guests and the recordings are only viewed if there is an issue. I am also sorry Mom was not more helpful with restaurant recommendations She is fairly new to the area and does not go out to eat often. I am glad you enjoyed your room and the porch and gardens. Thank you again, and we would welcome the opportunity to host you again.

Champaign Garden Inn is a GEM
The Champaign Garden Inn was absolutely wonderful - highly recommend! The room was so comfortable (there are window units for the AC, but they were quiet and efficient!). The location was walkable to downtown Champaign and a beautiful neighborhood - we so enjoyed just walking from here, and taking a sit on the gorgeous porch to overlook the garden. The room was quaint, bed was comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean and very fun with vintage appliances. We will absolutely be back for another couple's getaway as soon as we can.

Champaign Garden Inn is Awesome!
The home is beautiful and warm, very clean, and me stays there are always relaxing and quiet. The breakfast selection items available are good way to start the day. The interior is decorated very well with beautiful stained glass lighting in all common areas. The breakfast area always has great coffee and tea options available. I have now stayed here a few times and will be returning next month for another conference meeting and am excited to be spending more nights at this wonderful home! The Inn keeper is always reachable and responsive to ensure your stay is pleasant. Simple to check in and check out when it’s time, I highly recommend everyone to take an opportunity to stay at least one night here, trust me you will return for a future stay!
