Champaign Garden Inn

Champaign Garden Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Loved our stay. The home is historically beautiful and well maintained. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was a variety of frozen items, muffins, cereal, juice, coffee, tea and milk. We sat on the porch and ate our breakfast. The yard is beautiful landscaped. There is a nice park less than a block away. Check in and check out was easy. We will definitely stay here again."
