Beating against many other hotels in town, the I Hotel and Illinois Conference Center has been named the Best Hotel to Book for Moms Weekend in Champaign-Urbana this year. The I Hotel and Illinois Conference Center is an on-campus hotel located at 1900 S. First St. near southern Campustown and the State Farm Center. 

While being known as the place to host academic conferences and professional events, the hotel is also a great place worth spending the night to stay and rest due to its nice location and various amenities. 

This hotel has different types of rooms that all come with comfy beds and large windows that allow natural light to come in. It is also a pet-friendly hotel, providing families opportunities to bring their pets to enjoy Moms Weekend on campus as well. 

Inside the I Hotel and Illinois Conference Center, there is not only a spa center but dining places like Houlihan’s, catering to your craving for American dishes, or the I Cafe, where you can grab coffee with some quick meals.

In addition to its indoor facilities, its parking lot is large and close to the University parking lots, so guests will not need to worry about finding a space to park. For those without cars, a convenient bus system is also available at I Hotel and Illinois Conference Center for parents to access Campustown or travel downtown. 

As Moms Weekend approaches in April, if your family plans to visit campus and still needs to book a place in the C-U area to stay, the I Hotel and Illinois Conference Center is a great choice. It will make your moms feel right at home.
