This was a great experience. The easiest check in. Clean, functional and perfectly located with parking included. My only wish is that I booked directly with them rather than booking.com but that’s all on me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Perfect location close to shopping and dining! Communication with the host was easy. Information about the property was accurate and we found the space to be quite lovely and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay at The Inman again if we’re ever back in Champaign, IL. Check out the University of Illinois Arboretum, it’s free and the grounds are gorgeous. We liked Punch! Bar & Lounge so much we dined there twice. It’s within easy walking distance (2 min/0.2 mi) of The Inman.
